This is the Clinton County farmhouse on 5 acres you’ve been waiting for. This charming 1930s home has been shaped by family, farming, and the kind of simple living that feels welcoming the moment you arrive. Sitting on 5 peaceful acres with three outbuildings and a strong metal/aluminum roof, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse mixes classic character with the comfort of a full remodel completed in 2018. Inside, the home feels warm and lived-in, morning light shining across the living room, muddy boots by the door after chores, and the steady rhythm of country life in every room. The layout includes a spacious master suite, a large laundry room, and a second bedroom that works well for a child, guests, or even a quiet office with views of the farmland. This home also has a meaningful history. It was first owned by a family friend, then passed down to the sellers’ parents, all farmers who cared deeply for the land. It later became the first home for the current owners, where they built their life, raised their child, and filled the property with the happy energy of three dogs and a growing family. Now, as their needs have changed, they’ve simply outgrown the space, creating an opportunity for the next owner to start their own story on this beautiful piece of country ground. Whether you dream of hobby farming, a quiet homestead, or just more room to breathe, this property is ready for its next chapter. With deep roots, open skies, and a home cared for with love, it’s more than a place to live, it’s a chance to continue a legacy. Agent related to seller.

A
Agricultural District
The carrying out of agricultural activities has long been, and continues to be, an important part of the way of life for Clinton County residents, and such activities provide a large portion of the income derived by the County’s population. Thus, to promote and protect this mainstay of the local economy, it has been established as official policy that the County should protect, preserve, and encourage the pursuit of agriculture by its residents. The creation of the A Agricultural District is an integral part of that policy. The A District encompasses sparsely developed areas which, because of the fertility of the soil, topography, the availability of water, and other factors, including the suitability of the land for the raising of animals, have high agricultural productivity. The regulations for this district are intended to preserve such agricultural land by severely restricting the encroachment of non-agricultural uses and structures. The owners and renters of property, whether farm or non-farm, in this district should realize that they will likely encounter the smells, sights, and sounds attendant to agricultural operations. This Zoning Code encourages the conduct of lawful activity including the conduct of agriculture operations consistent with the principles established by this Zoning Code and other applicable ordinances of the County of Clinton and the laws of the State of Illinois
