About This Home

Welcome to one of the most remarkable properties in all of Fulton Countyan incredibly rare opportunity to own a truly special 163.8 A.+/- estate in the heart of the Spoon River Valley. From the moment you arrive, the setting grabs you. A private, stocked 15-acre lake stretches into view, surrounded by rolling hills, mature hardwood timber, and world-class deer and turkey hunting right out the back door. If you know this area, you already knowit doesn't get much better. The custom home is just as impressive. Designed with intention and loaded with high-end features, it offers both comfort and style in every corner. Inside, the gourmet kitchen is outfitted with cherry cabinets and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and it overlooks an open-concept main space featuring a stunning cathedral ceiling. Solid doors, Pella windows, Baldwin knobs, and custom millwork elevate the entire home. Remote phone-in temperature controls let you manage the house from anywhere, and two English Shaw fireplaces add warmth and character. The primary suite is a true retreat, and the fully finished walkout basement includes a full theater room, wet bar, billiard table area, and spacious rec room perfect for hosting or relaxing. Outside is just as impressive! The property features 50 acres of income-producing tillable ground with an average Productivity Index (P.I.) of 120, primarily composed of fertile Kendall and St. Charles silt loam soils. Two secondary creeks wind through the property, providing a reliable water source for the wildlife and contributing to the property's natural beauty. The stunning 15-acre lake serves as a recreational centerpiece, fully stocked with giant largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. Whether you're into fishing, swimming, kayaking, or waterfowl hunting, the lake offers a wide range of possibilities for outdoor enjoyment. What truly sets this farm apart is its exceptional hunting potential. The diverse topography, with wooded draws, benches, saddles, and natural funnels, creates ideal conditions for deer movement. Quality land management has enhanced these features, giving hunters the perfect opportunity to set up on the buck of a lifetime. Whether you're looking for a private getaway, a trophy hunting property, or a high-end investment with Airbnb potential, this place checks a ton of boxes. Properties like this don't come around oftenand once they're gone, they're gone. For more information or to schedule a private tour, contact Land Specialist Jason Endres or Marlee Schultz today.
