About This Home

Welcome to your Apple Canyon Lake retreat! This beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 3-bath ranch-style home offers comfortable year-round living or an ideal weekend getaway in the scenic rolling countryside of northwestern Jo Daviess County, just a short drive from historic Galena. Situated on an attractive 0.34-acre homesite, this inviting residence has been wonderfully cared for and is being offered fully furnished, making it especially convenient for buyers looking for a move-in-ready lake-area home. The main level provides an easy, functional ranch-style floor plan, while the finished lower level greatly expands the home’s versatility with a spacious family room and three additional bonus rooms—excellent possibilities for guest accommodations, a home office, hobby or exercise space, game room, or additional recreational areas. Outdoor living is another highlight. The front deck/porch has recently been re-stained, creating an attractive and welcoming entrance, while the rear deck has been rebuilt, providing a fresh outdoor space for grilling, entertaining, relaxing with family and friends, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A two-car attached garage provides convenient parking and additional storage, while the generous lawn, mature trees and established setting complement the home’s relaxed country character. Best of all, you’re just minutes from the waters of beautiful Apple Canyon Lake, with the recreational opportunities and natural beauty that make this Northwest Illinois community such a desirable destination. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or comfortable second home near the lake, this exceptionally well-maintained and fully furnished property offers the space, setting and convenience to begin enjoying the Apple Canyon Lake lifestyle from day one. Move in, unpack, and start enjoying lake-country living!
