Peaceful Country Property With Main Home, Beautiful Woods, Creek And Rental

Located between Monmouth and Galesburg, this over 16-acre remarkable country estate offers a little bit of everything from country living, income from a rental home, a new building site, incredible timber, and plentiful wildlife! Locally known as Walnut Creek Country Estate, this property is sure to catch your eye and features two residences: a spacious main family home and a charming cottage, and beautiful wooded property with a creek!Starting on the southern end of the property along 245 Avenue stands the main family home. This very spacious tri-level home sits privately off the roadway and features a combination of concrete block and wood frame construction. Entering the main/middle level, you have immediate access into the large foyer, roomy formal living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, and access to the attached 2-car garage. The upper level consists of the dining room, kitchen/breakfast area, recently renovated full bathroom, and three bedrooms, including the private master suite. This level also provides 2 access points (kitchen & master) to the extremely large deck that spans the entire rear of the home where you're sure to spend several hours overlooking the stunning scenery of the woods, wildlife and creek! The lower level of the home features the 4th bedroom, additional (3rd) bathroom, large family room with 2nd fireplace, spa/workout room, and utility room housing the high efficiency furnace, tankless (on demand) water heater, washer/dryer, and water filtration system. Outside of the main home the property is surrounded by mature trees providing quality shade, features a large circle driveway, rain barrel collection system for watering, and gravel access to the woods. Additionally, there is a 16'X20' utility building with electrical service to store support equipment for the property.Situated on the northwest side of the property is where you will find the guest/rental cottage. This single-story structure consists of a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, a large sunroom that could also serve as an additional guest room if needed, and a very large rear deck. The cottage is also tucked in under large trees that provide exceptional shade to minimize cooling costs and provide a comfortable spot to sit outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Outside of the cottage, the property is improved with 4 outbuildings for ample storage or a workshop and an extremely large yard. The cottage is currently rented at $600/month for a steady stream of income for the new buyer. This area would also be an ideal build location if a new structure were desired! Each residence benefits from its own independent water source, septic, electric, and direct access to roadways.Last, the timbered area in between the two homes could be your favorite part! This area is all wooded and is about as clean of quality timber as I've seen. The makeup includes many species of hardwoods, and the gentle roll of the land is easy to navigate. There is also a main trail large enough for a full-size pickup to travel in between the houses, and the property is accented by a year-round creek that flows along and through part of the property. If hunting or wildlife watching is a hobby, this property no doubt has plenty of wildlife to satisfy any outdoorsman or wildlife enthusiast! This offering can also come furnished with a generous amount of quality support equipment to maintain the property.
