Just five minutes from the outskirts of Elgin, this 8.7-acre property offers a rare blend of rural living, equestrian facilities, animal amenities, and rental potential—all in a peaceful, park like setting. The two story, four bedroom, two bathroom home features a main-level kitchen with a new dishwasher and gas range, two propane fireplaces, and a deck overlooking a spring-fed pond framed by mature trees. A second kitchen on the lower level creates flexibility for extended living or a possible rental setup. The property is well designed for animals and hobby use, with five natural springs, a large garden, 10x20 greenhouse, 240x120 outdoor arena, and round pen for equestrian activities. Outbuildings include a 14x18x32 hay shed, two chicken coops, and a 24x27 kennel facility with five indoor/outdoor runs and attached lean-to. A detached two-car garage with a dedicated 12x12 storage room adds even more functionality. Beyond the practical features, the grounds invite you to relax and enjoy the surroundings, with a patio and multiple designated sitting areas tucked into the landscaped yard. With a new furnace and AC already installed, this is a versatile property with room to grow—whether you’re looking for an equestrian setup, homesteading potential, or rental income.
