The Will-o-Wick Estate in Kendall County is for sale for the first time in over 50 years. This working farm has 220+/- acres including 155 tillable, 53 pasture, 13 wooded with Fox River frontage and 7 including homes and barns and has been owned by only three families. Built in 1865, the main house needs some TLC to bring it back to its former glory. The pine is in expert condition with little, if any, knotting. The first floor has 10' feet ceilings throughout including a grand staircase in foyer, fireplace in a large family/gathering room and a truly formal dining room with original lighting. The parlor/den and an attached library have built-ins. The concentric hardwood floors were created by an expert cabinet maker during the Great Depression and are both unique and stunning. The kitchen has a 50's charm and a lovely breakfast nook with bay window. The laundry/mudroom is off the back door with a first floor powder room. There is a master bedroom addition on the first floor with his and her bathrooms and vintage lighting. Walk up the grand staircase to a large landing and step out onto a balcony that overlooks acres of pasture, woods and the Fox River. Upstairs includes four bedrooms and a full bath. There is a full basement as well. There are also two rental houses on the property. The first is a three bedroom, one and a half bath; the second is a studio home. There is a 3+ car garage, a tool shed, large main barn with chicken coop, corn crib, four silos plus a large confinement barn. Please note, the main house needs updating and repairs and could be brought back to a stunning mansion with the right buyer. The land is beautiful. The farmland is prosperous (we have soil descriptions, available upon request) the pastureland is slightly rolling and fertile.
