Description

Welcome to this stunning hobby farm in Ogle County, where tranquility meets functionality. This property offers a balanced blend of tillable land, pasture, a charming farmhouse, and versatile buildings, all nestled along a lightly traveled road. With 9 acres of tillable ground currently in hay and 3 acres of fenced pasture divided into several paddocks, this farm is perfect for both agriculture and livestock. The large farmhouse greets you with its inviting presence. Step inside to discover a spacious layout that flows effortlessly from the kitchen to the dining room and family room, complete with a cozy wood fireplace. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a generous eat-in island and ample space for entertaining family and friends. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms. The oversized master suite boasts abundant storage, a convenient powder room, and a luxurious walk-in stone shower. Plus, it offers private access to a second-story porch that overlooks the stunning property. The two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, making this layout ideal for families or guests. The lower level remains unfinished but provides plenty of room for storage or future expansion. Heading outside you're greeted 34 by 61 heated workshop, which includes an 800+ square foot one-bedroom apartment-perfect for guests or as rental income. This apartment features its own kitchen and laundry room, with potential to convert part of the shop into a second bedroom if desired. Adjacent to the workshop, you'll find a 38 by 96 metal building currently used for equipment storage. Convenient access to the different paddocks on the eastern side of the farm makes managing your livestock a breeze. The property also features a large red barn with an office and tack room. Inside, multiple stalls provide shelter for livestock, complemented by a covered shelter in the pasture. Don't forget the fenced garden behind the house, perfect for cultivating your favorite plants or vegetables. With newer appliances and a new roof and gutters installed in 2024, this property is move-in ready and waiting for you to make it your own. This hobby farm in Ogle County offers the perfect blend of rural living, space, and versatility.
