About This Home

As of March 2023

Looking for that log cabin get away? This home has that log cabin feel, surrounded by rustic light fixtures, wood burning stove, and wood beams above. All you need is a bear-skin rug and cup of hot cocoa. The beautiful living room has a cascading window wall, with French doors leading to a wrap around balcony. The knotty wood walls, vaulted ceilings and skylights finish it off. The open kitchen gives you the flexibility to use these rooms in many layouts. Island is movable. Hardwood floors were just re-finished. The loft master bedroom has a master bath with walk in closet. Lower level / walkout basement has been started, all you need to do is finish it for entertaining or more living space. 1 car attached garage has enough space for a workshop area. While this home can use a little of your personal touch up, most of the work has been done. Outside, this property has two entrances, and is just feet from the water. This is a private gated community. We have miles of fresh water channels, lakes, and marshes all interconnecting. This is the place to fish, swim, or boat, where it can reach 42 feet deep in some areas. (BIG FISH POSSIBILITIES!) Wildlife is abundant as well. This association includes a club house, community pool, a separate sand beach, pavilion, dog park, volleyball and basketball area (other games as well). They offer plenty of family and group activities. Other important notes: Close to I55 & only 60 Mins. from Chicago. Only Electric Boats & Golf Carts allowed.
