Property Description

Tucked high on a hill with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, this just-over-10-acre property feels like a world of its own. From the moment you arrive, there's a sense of space, privacy, and possibility that's increasingly hard to find. At the heart of the property is a beautifully finished 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch that blends the character of an established home with the conveniences of modern living. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated with high-end finishes, extensive improvements, updated utilities, and the infrastructure to support today's lifestyle - including hybrid vehicle charging. The property's energy system is another standout feature. An oversized solar array is mounted on the roof of the main shop and was designed with enough capacity to help supply electricity to both the shop and the residence, adding another level of function and efficiency to an already remarkably versatile property. Inside, an inviting fireplace brings warmth to the main living space, while the thoughtful ranch layout makes the home comfortable and easy to live in. Below, a full basement - plus a rare sub-basement beneath it - provides an incredible amount of additional space for storage, recreation, hobbies, or future possibilities. Step outside, though, and the scale of the property really begins to unfold. A massive temperature-controlled outbuilding offers room for approximately 15 vehicles, creating an exceptional setup for a serious car collection, workshop, hobby space, or business operation. Two additional outbuildings add even more flexibility, including space for trailers, horses, equipment, toys, or additional storage. Despite the peaceful country setting, you're not far from anything. Marengo is approximately five minutes away, while Woodstock is just eight minutes down the road, putting shopping, dining, entertainment, and downtown amenities within easy reach. Whether you picture mornings overlooking the countryside, evenings around the fireplace, a garage filled with collector cars, horses out back, charging your vehicle from a solar-equipped property, or simply having room to spread out and enjoy some privacy, this is the kind of place that opens the door to a completely different way of living. With just over 10 acres, dramatic hilltop views, extensive improvements, substantial solar infrastructure, and an exceptional collection of outbuildings, opportunities like this don't come along often.
