About This Home

As of September 2025

Looking to live more self-sufficiently? Establish a homestead? Raise a family and create memories full of sunshine, bonfires, and deep nights thick with the flickering of fireflies? This one-acre homestead just outside of Normal (15 minutes to shopping, 20 minutes to the hospital) offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, fresh air, starry skies, inspiring sunrises, and striking sunsets, offering a rare chance to step into a productive lifestyle with a big head start. The farmhouse sits along a monarch migration path and features hardwood floors, built-ins, a main-floor bedroom, as well as a full bath on the first floor. The land has been thoughtfully cultivated with an emphasis on sustainability and abundance. Established fruit bearers include apples (five varieties), pears, peaches, paw paws (two varieties for pollination), cherries, grapes (three varieties), elderberries, raspberries, mulberries, and more. A 30x72x12 high tunnel extends your growing season from early Spring to late Fall. The large pole barn includes two small animal pens and a chicken coup with an outdoor run. This property has supported goats, chickens, rabbits and more, including a small business supplying farm fresh produce and meat to local markets and restaurants. The seller is eager to share homesteading contacts, resources, and tips. Start your food security journey here. Please ask your agent for the full list of growing details and homestead tools included in the associated documents of the listing. We've made it as easy as we can for you to make your homestead dream a reality!
