This private country retreat spans 22.46 rolling acres of wooded hills, open meadow, and a scenic pond, offering rustic warmth and refined comfort in a 3,600+ sqft 3 BR 3.5 BA home that includes two main-level suites with walk-in closets, private baths, and individual access to the full-length walk-out deck overlooking the water and sweeping countryside. Quality craftsmanship is evident in the knotty pine finishes, vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and striking stone fireplace... while the kitchen offers premium cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and a lodge-style feel. The walk-out lower level mirrors the home's quality featuring a covered patio, hot tub just off the family room, a second laundry, 3rd bedroom, 3rd full bath, safe room, and flexible space ideal for guests, hobbies, a gym, or a future 4th bedroom. A three-car attached garage and massive metal shop building provide extensive storage for tools, tractors, boats, ATVs, and equipment. The land offers privacy, varied terrain, abundant wildlife, and well-used travel corridors reflecting its history with hunting clubs yet equally suited for full-time living, a luxury weekend retreat, or a peaceful generational estate. With modern utilities, dependable systems, and top-tier construction... this property is truly move-in ready and delivers natural beauty, comfort, recreation, and a true sense of escape in one outstanding Southern Illinois setting. Just a quick 30 - 45 minute drive from several thriving towns!
