Located just west of Roscoe, this 43-acre property gives you a little bit of everything. The home and outbuildings sit up by the road, keeping the entire back portion wide open for recreation, livestock, or habitat work. The classic farm-style home has a ton of character and offers a functional layout for everyday living. Inside, the large kitchen has plenty of cabinet space and room for a small table for everyday meals. It flows easily into the dining room and family room, making it a comfortable spot to unwind or host friends and family. Off the family room is a den that can be used as an office, playroom, or quiet space. The main level has a full bathroom, and upstairs you will find three good-sized bedrooms, a bonus room, and a half bathroom. Outside, the property is set up for a variety of uses. A 68 by 24 barn provides great storage for equipment, tools, and toys. There is also a 24 by 14 shed and a chicken coop, along with a detached carport up by the house for convenient winter parking. Behind the house, a gated entrance leads you straight into the open pasture. This area sits between crop fields and has been transitioning into an early successional mix, creating thick cover and bedding habitat. It could easily be cleaned up for livestock again or allowed to continue growing wild for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. The northeast corner is a prime spot for food plot development with its connection to a solid block of timber that funnels wildlife naturally. The land lays out well for someone who wants a farm, raise animals, hunt, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The property is located near several forest preserves and not far from the Pecatonica River, adding even more recreational options. Even though it feels private and rural, the farm is only minutes from Rockton and sits within the Shirland and Hononegah school district. You also have fast access to I-90 for easy commuting. This is a hard-to-find multi-use property with a great location, strong layout, and the kind of potential that fits almost any vision.
