About This Home

As of May 2026

Renovated from top to bottom, this sophisticated country oasis offers a rare blend of privacy, modern luxury, and energy efficiency set on 5 serene acres just 1.5 hours from Chicago. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated to reflect timeless design, comfort, and quality throughout.
The main living level is anchored by a refined kitchen featuring quartz countertops, new appliances, and effortless flow to an expansive screened-in porch and rear porch--perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Two distinct living areas provide flexibility for both relaxed daily living and hosting, while abundant natural light and generous proportions create an inviting yet elevated atmosphere.
Upstairs, four well-appointed bedrooms and two full bathrooms include a serene primary suite retreat with a spa-inspired en-suite, highlighted by modern designer tile and contemporary finishes. The finished lower level functions as a private guest suite, complete with a second kitchen, gas fireplace, and walkout access to the backyard ideal for extended stays, multi-generational living, or hosting guests with comfort and privacy.
Additional highlights include geothermal heating, an EV charger, and an impressive 40' x 70' pole barn with a three-car garage, offering abundant space for vehicles, equipment, and acreage essentials. With short-term rental potential and room to add future amenities, this rare offering seamlessly blends luxury finishes, energy efficiency, privacy, and convenience in a peaceful country setting ready to enjoy as is or elevate even further. Located along a migration path where Sandhill cranes birds stop through. Don't miss out on one of the best nature settings in SW Michigan!
