Secluded cabin that sits back off the road surrounded by timber. Entering in the property you are met with a gated private drive. You are barely able to see the cabin from the road with all the timber. As you go up the drive you will first come to the 24x36 Cleary outbuilding with concrete and electric. The drive continues up to the cabin. The cabin has a nice deck on the upstairs that has two sliders into the cabin. There is a walk door around the side of the house. The entryway provides a nice little area to take off boots. Open flow from the living room into the kitchen area. Kitchen has a nice sized island. This cozy space has the wood burning fireplace and beautiful views of the property. Upstairs you have a full bathroom that is shared by the two good sized bedrooms. In the lower level you have an additional bedroom with egress window and a family/rec room. Could be finished to add another bedroom if one was needed. Lower level has a half bathroom and unfinished utility room. 30 min to Savanna, 35 to Galena, 2:45 to Chicago.
