Description
Welcome to peace and serenity with room to roam on this 17-acre oasis, including a prominent country home with attached 2-car garage and versatile 52 x 26 outbuilding. Tucked away, just outside the Village of Kirkland, you'll discover this beautiful homestead set back nicely along a quiet county road, zoned AG. Upon entering the privately gated, tree-lined drive, your attention is immediately drawn to the hill-top home with breathtaking views of its natural setting. This well-maintained traditional style home is move-in ready while offering potential for expansion. The residence features 4 nicely sized bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 2 half baths conveniently located on the main level and the basement level respectively. The welcoming country kitchen with newer sink & refrigerator is complete with all necessary appliances and cleanup is made easy with beautiful ceramic tiling underfoot. Located off the kitchen is a cozy family room ready to for nights to unwind or hosting guests. Adjacently, the kitchen leads to the living room and dining room which is the largest area on the main level. This space is beautifully lit with natural light pouring in through the sliding glass door which leads to the recently built deck. The large, shaded deck would be a perfect place for grilling or just taking in the sounds of songbirds while soaking in a gorgeous sunset. Another great feature of this home is the full, finished walk-out basement which can continue to be used as an additional bedroom, or you can repurpose the space as a recreational room, shop, or just a place for additional storage. Also located in the basement is the laundry room with newly installed washer and dryer in 2020 and adjacent storage room. Stepping back outside towards the back yard, sits a classic, bright red metal pole barn with sky lights allowing natural light to brighten the space. The barn offers ample additional storage space for vehicles or equipment; however, it's already poised for equestrian use being equipped with 4 horse stalls, 2 open and 2 with sliding doors. The back portion of the property was allowed to grow fallow, ideal for horse trails winding through the balance of beautiful prairie and wooded acreage. For the hunting enthusiast, this secluded area of the property already holds deer and turkey, however, adding food plots could create a destination for one of the big bucks this area is known for. Headed back towards the homestead, you'll enjoy maintained acreage with ample sunlight, creating the perfect place for pool or a huge garden, already bordered by a varieties of fruit trees. While the property is being sold AS-IS with no repairs, some noteworthy UPDATES include: New roof and siding in 2017, new well pump 2017, new air conditioner and water heater in 2019, new furnace in 2022 and new air purifier added in 2023. Outside, a new deck was as installed in 2020 as well as a charming driveway gate in 2023. Located minutes from I-39 and I-90, this property has so much to offer!! Bring your passions, be it gardening, bird watching, bee-keeping, horses, chickens, or just enjoying life with room to breathe! You won't want to miss out on this one!
