Route 78 Rural Living Paradise

Introducing premier rural living that checks all of the onsite boxes while still being just minutes from town is extremely hard to come by! This phenomenal 19.72+/- acre property boasts a number of rare features that make it truly one of a kind. First and foremost, the long, gated driveway takes you to a rustic, but well-maintained log-style home. This 2 bed, 2 bath, 1452+/- sq foot home provides all the living space an individual or family would need, while still being easy to maintain. The large connected kitchen and living room, as well as the two enclosed porches make this place an inviting home for hosting guests. An unfinished basement sits in great shape downstairs, creating an excellent blank slate for a buyer to do whatever they please. The spacious attached garage adds more appeal to this already excellent home. Step outside and you will be greeted by a 2-stall horse barn and attached lean-to, totalling another 1884+/- square feet of covered space to be utilized however a buyer desires. Existing fencing and a livestock pen creates the infrastructure for animals to be comfortably kept. Three beautiful ponds overlap with and therefore are accessible by this property! Whether one wants to enjoy the stocked fish populations, take a kayak out, swim with family or friends, or just enjoy a sunset over the pond off the back porch; these ponds provide an incredible bonus source of enjoyment for a buyer. An additional gate off of the nearly 800 +/- feet of blacktop road frontage and several acres of flat, open ground allow for nearly infinite opportunities for a buyer to easily create and access additional structures or improvements if desired. Conveniently located just 4.5 +/- miles from Williamsfield and just 18 +/- miles from Peoria, this place is just a short drive away from all of the small or large town amenities a buyer could ever want while still having a very rural feel. Rural residential properties with this much to offer very rarely hit the market, so don't drag your feet on coming to check out this place while it is still available!
