Property Description

Stunning custom-built 5-bedroom, 4.1-bathroom ranch with a walkout basement set on 11.46 private acres just minutes from Starved Rock State Park. With a scenic private pond, dock, sandy beach, wooded trails, and a creek along the back of the property, this estate offers an exceptional opportunity for luxury country living within easy reach of the Chicagoland area - ideal as a full-time residence or elevated weekend retreat. Exceptional curb appeal welcomes you down a beautifully landscaped walkway and into a grand foyer that opens to a spacious living room featuring quarter-sawn oak hardwood floors, a fireplace, and sweeping pond views. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and a chef's kitchen thoughtfully designed for both refined entertaining and everyday living. Highlights include hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, a peninsula with seating, center island, double ovens, gas cooktop, and an impressive 6x8 walk-in pantry. Just off the kitchen, a bright four-season room leads to a low-maintenance Trex deck overlooking the pond - a serene setting for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. The main-level primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious private bathroom complete with double sinks, a makeup area, private powder room, corner soaking tub, and a spacious tiled walk-in shower. The main floor also includes a second bedroom, a full guest bathroom, a half bathroom, laundry room, and a functional mudroom with built-in storage off the 2.5-car garage, which features heated floors, 10-foot doors, built-in cabinetry, and a utility sink. An open staircase leads to the walkout lower level with tall ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The expansive family room includes a second fireplace and French doors opening to a concrete patio. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the lower level, including one private ensuite bathroom and one shared bathroom. A sitting room with wet bar and bay window overlooking the pond, plus a 5th bedroom/flex/office or playroom, add impressive versatility. Additional features include radiant heated floors throughout - including the garage - with four zones for efficiency and comfort, a whole-home Generac generator for peace of mind, reverse osmosis system, two water heaters, comfort-height toilets, 2x6 construction, and freshly repainted interior (2021). Outdoors, the 11.46-acre setting is equally remarkable, offering privacy, and recreation, just a short drive from the city. Whether you're seeking a peaceful primary residence or a luxurious escape near one of Illinois' most iconic destinations, this exceptional property delivers space, craftsmanship, and lifestyle without compromise.
