Property Description
Discover the best of country living with this outstanding 82+/- acre property, offering everything you need for a serene rural lifestyle. Measuring approximately half a mile by a quarter mile, this land boasts prime frontage on the Galien River--ideal for anglers seeking salmon, steelhead, or brown trout. Enjoy fishing from the banks or from one of three private bridges. Outdoors enthusiasts will appreciate the premier hunting, fishing, and abundant wildlife. Equestrian facilities include a charming red metal barn with custom horse stables and a spacious 3-acre paddock. For your equipment or hobby needs, a massive 40' x 80' pole barn with 18-foot side walls provides flexible storage or could be converted to an indoor arena. The insulated 60' x 36' workshop--with two car lifts--is perfect for mechanics or woodworkers, while a separate 64' x 28' storage building is ideal for lawn equipment and firewood. Three over head doors. The original dairy milk house offers potential for a variety of uses. The vast garden plot has historically provided fresh produce for the owners, and a newly enlarged pond becomes a magical skating rink in winter. Trail networks wind through the woods, inviting year-round hiking or ATV adventures. The one-owner home features three spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths. At its heart lies a dramatic, stone, floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace in the great room, with rich knotty pine accents to create a warm and welcoming retreat--perfect for Midwest winters. Practical upgrades include a whole-house Generac generator, so you'll never worry about power outages. The location is unbeatable, offering quick access to I-94, the toll road, South Shore train line, and Amtrak for convenient commuting. Approximately 30 acres are tillable cropland, currently planted in corn and generating income through a farm lease partnership. This is a rare opportunity for those seeking tranquility, recreation, or a working farm, all within reach of modern amenities.
