You will be truly 'living the dream' as the owner of this beautiful home, located ON the Fox River! This well thought out, beautifully crafted home with attention to detail was completely renovated in 2012 and is simply stunning! This FIVE ACRE property is further enhanced by having NOT ONE but TWO separate heated garages, one with central air, and a ONE OF A KIND, HEATED & AIR CONDITIONED, 45' x 65' OUTBUILDING with an huge private office, full bath and greenhouse on the AG ZONED portion of the property! The spacious, light filled foyer is highlighted by the custom staircase leading to the home office. The foyer opens into the large living room with an expansive view of the Fox river and is open to the kitchen and dining area just beyond. The kitchen has fabulous custom cherry cabinetry, granite counters, a huge island with a separate sink & instant hot water, high end appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a separate 5 burner cooktop, double ovens, and a dining area overlooking the river. The 1st floor Master Bedroom is located at the far end of the home and has a sliding glass door onto the patio and built-in cabinetry, a private bath with double sinks, a step-in steam shower, heated tile floors, and a walk-in closet with California closet organizers. Sliding glass doors lead to the covered front porch from each of the two light filled guest bedrooms. I am in love with the hall bath, and the leathered granite, and curved glass shower doors. Working from home takes on a whole new meaning when your morning commute is to the spacious, 2nd floor home office with hardwood floors, a private half bath, and has fabulous views of the Fox River! The best seat in the house might be in the dramatic vaulted sunroom which has a wall of tinted glass windows offering views upstream and down river, a free standing wood burning stove for chilly nights, tile flooring, and access to the large brick and stamped concrete patio overlooking the river.

Agricultural District
It is recognized that the public health and welfare of the citizens of Kendall County are greatly dependent upon the sustenance and economic benefits provided by a viable agricultural industry. This district is intended to ensure that lands within the county which are well suited for agricultural production of food and fiber are retained for such production, unimpeded by the establishment of incompatible uses which would hinder farm operations and irretrievably deplete agricultural lands. Specific purposes for this district are to; Establish a zoning district in which agriculture and certain related uses are encouraged as principal uses of the land.; Preserve fertile, tillable soils as a valuable natural resource.; Enhance and maintain the sound economic base that agricultural pursuits provide the county and region.; Provide open areas which contribute to the stability of the environment and enhancement of air and water quality.; Preserve woodlands and wetlands associated with farms which, because of their natural physical features, are useful as water retention and groundwater recharge areas, and as habitat for plant and animal life, but may not be conducive to the agricultural uses cited in this ordinance.; Prevent scattered, indiscriminate urban development within areas zoned agricultural.; Limit residential development of agriculturally zoned properties or those areas identified as agricultural uses in the County’s LRMP to not more than one dwelling unit per each 40 acres of land.
Permitted uses
