"Acreage, Privacy, Forest Preserve. It's All Here"
$ 649,900
Nestled on five private wooded acres surrounded by Johnson’s Mound Preserve on the east and north, and Kane County Forest Preserve on the west, sits this magnificent architect designed ranch home with vistas that have no end. From the many large windows you see massive oak, walnut and basswood trees. Look beyond the tree line to the fenced pastureland. Wildlife abounds but not a neighbor to be seen. Your views will never be obstructed. Inside lies a most fascinating home: light, airy, and spacious and yet warm and homelike. With four bedrooms and a study, large living and dining areas, and spacious outdoor living areas (screened porch, large deck, and two brick patios) there’s lots of room for family living or entertaining guests of any number. Even though the setting is quiet and private, you are only minutes to shopping, dining, parks and recreation. Easy access to I-88 and Metra (LaFox Station) make getting to downtown Chicago and the east an easy commute. This can be your own little piece of paradise.
