About This Home

As of February 2026

This hobby farm in Adeline sits on top of a hill with beautiful views in every direction. The home is positioned up by the road and features a large deck, perfect for grilling out and entertaining family and friends. When you enter the home, there is a porch that is a great spot for boots, jackets, and everything you need after a day on the farm. The kitchen is a good size and flows naturally into the formal dining room with built-ins, giving plenty of room for family meals or gatherings. The first floor also has a remodeled half bath. The family room is off the dining area and has access to the enclosed front porch and a home office, giving flexible space for working from home or hobbies. On the main floor, there is a good-sized bedroom, and upstairs, you will find the master bedroom with a full bathroom, along with another good-sized bedroom and additional storage space. Stairs lead to the second level, offering options for multi-generational living or guest accommodations. Outside, there is ample parking for trailers and farm equipment right next to the large outbuilding. The outbuilding has plenty of room for a workshop, and another section is set up for livestock access and storage. A chicken coop sits to the side of the property, and there are three different fenced areas for livestock, along with an open lean-to for animals to use. The new fencing is in great shape and ready for use. This property is surrounded by timber and agricultural land, giving the feel of country living while still being close to Rockford and Freeport. The farm sits within the Forreston School District, offering quality schooling while maintaining that quiet, country lifestyle. This property is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the hobby farm life, with functional living space, plenty of room for animals, strong outbuildings, and open land for gardening, pasturing, or just enjoying the outdoors. It is a rare find that combines a comfortable home, multiple livestock setups, and the privacy of the countryside with the convenience of being within reach of nearby towns.
