McDonough County - 19725 US Hwy 67, Good Hope, IL
Located just north of Good Hope along U. S. Route 67, this productive farm offers an excellent opportunity for livestock producers, homesteaders, or a starter farm. Currently utilized as cattle pasture, the property is well-equipped for livestock operations with good perimeter fencing and a reliable year-round creek that provides a valuable water source for livestock and wildlife. The farm is designed to support grazing operations while offering future flexibility for a variety of agricultural uses. Approximately 9.5 acres are currently maintained as pasture but could be converted to row crop. The farmland sits on primarily Osco soils and carries an impressive 127.81 Avg. P. I. This strong soil rating reflects the farm's capability to support productive crop yields while enhancing its long-term agricultural value. Whether your focus is cattle production, crop farming, or a combination of both, the quality soils provide a solid foundation for future success. The year-round creek not only serves as a dependable water source but also adds natural character to the property while creating wildlife habitat. The home is move-in-ready and combines the charm of a classic residence with the reliability and efficiency of modern construction. Taken down to the studs in 2017, the home underwent a comprehensive renovation that replaced or upgraded nearly every major system, providing the confidence and convenience of updated construction while preserving the character that makes older homes so desirable. The renovation included all-new electrical wiring, providing a modern electrical system designed to meet today's household needs. Plumbing throughout the home was replaced with durable PEX piping, offering long-term reliability. Comfort is maintained year-round with a high-efficiency furnace and central air conditioning system installed during the renovation, while an on-demand water heater delivers hot water efficiently and helps reduce energy costs. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring custom Amish-built cabinetry that showcases exceptional craftsmanship. A functional center island provides additional workspace, storage, and seating opportunities, making the kitchen ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The primary bathroom continues the theme of quality craftsmanship with a custom Amish-built vanity that complements the home's updated finishes. One of the home's most appealing features is the preservation of its original hardwood flooring. Rather than replacing these classic floors, they were professionally refinished during the 2017 renovation, maintaining the warmth, beauty, and character that only genuine hardwood can provide. The result is a home that blends historic appeal with contemporary comfort. The exterior has also received extensive improvements. A new roof was installed in 2017, adding long-term protection and value. In 2026, the home received brand-new siding and energy-efficient windows, further enhancing curb appeal while improving insulation and energy performance. The recent exterior upgrades contribute to lower maintenance requirements and increased efficiency for years to come.
