As you enter the blacktop drive, the 5 bedroom, 3 full bath 2 half bath brick home provides approximately 5,000 square feet of finished living space with a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A spacious living area flows into the open kitchen and dining space, creating a comfortable central gathering area.

A real wood-burning fireplace anchors the downstairs living area, while a full kitchen adds convenience for entertaining or extended stays. The basement also includes an office, bedroom, bathroom, and additional living area, giving the home flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is another highlight of the property. A heated saltwater in-ground pool is surrounded by a spacious patio area, creating an inviting setting for entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. The home is surrounded by a spacious, well-maintained yard with extensive landscaping and established garden areas. A concrete circle drive provides convenient access to the residence and attached two-car garage. A 48' x 30' pole barn with an attached lean-to and garage door provides valuable space for tractors, equipment, boats, ATVs, and property-maintenance supplies. The barn itself is climate controlled with new spray foam insulation installed in 2025. One of the defining features of the property is the approximately 10 acre stocked lake. The lake provides fishing opportunities and creates an attractive centerpiece within the surrounding acreage. An additional 1 acre pond adds another water feature and further enhances the property's recreational appeal. Approximately 66 acres of tillable ground provide an agricultural component to the property and create an additional food source for local wildlife. The balance of the land includes timbered areas with softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, along with areas of cedars and native grasses that provide cover and habitat diversity. The combination of tillable acreage, timber, native grasses, and water also creates opportunities for deer and turkey hunting. Areas of thicker cover provide security habitat, while the agricultural acreage and timbered portions create plenty of edge and natural travel areas throughout the property. Road frontage along multiple sides, along with multiple entry points, provides convenient access to different portions of the farm for agricultural use, recreation, and property management. From the spacious brick home and in-ground pool to the productive acreage, stocked lake, pole barn, and hunting opportunities, this Johnson County property offers a diverse combination of residential, agricultural, and recreational features in a Southern Illinois country setting.
