About This Home
As of May 2025Nestled in the heart of Boone County, this stunning property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Surrounded by expansive timber tracts, Boone County Conservation land, and lush agricultural fields, it's a private retreat with quick access to I-90-just minutes from Rockford, Beloit, and Chicagoland. A gated entrance and circular driveway welcome you in, providing ample parking for guests, equipment, or recreational vehicles. The beautifully crafted log cabin sits picture-perfect off the road, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. As you approach, you're greeted by a covered front porch that's a perfect spot to finish your day watching the sunset over the region. Step inside to a spacious eat-in kitchen designed for gathering, with plenty of room for a large dining table. The family room is warm and inviting, featuring a soaring ceiling and a stunning stone wood-burning fireplace. A second wood-burning stove adds to the cozy ambiance and serves as an additional heat source. Three new mini split heat pumps were recently installed to keep the cabin comfortable in any season. On the main level, a spacious bedroom offers multiple closets and access to a full bathroom. The entire first floor has been upgraded with newly installed luxury vinyl flooring, adding durability and style. Upstairs, a unique loft overlooks the main living space-complete with its own wood-burning fireplace. Whether you need an extra sleeping area, a home office, or a quiet retreat, this space is both versatile and inviting. Another generously sized bedroom and a full bath complete the second floor, offering privacy and comfort. The lower level, though unfinished, is brimming with potential. Imagine a future rec room, additional bedrooms, or the ultimate entertainment space. A side porch leads you outside. Beyond the cabin, an oversized two-car garage, a 26x41 barn, and a unique fenced-in pen-add to the property's versatility. The fenced-in backyard is a blank canvas, perfect for a patio, fire pit, or garden. 2.8 acres are currently being farmed, but the possibilities are endless. Whether you envision a horse pasture, restored prairie, or continued rental income, this land is yours to shape. If you're looking for a private, picturesque retreat with incredible potential, this Boone County gem is ready for you.
