40 acres and home Hamilton County $ 469,533 Enjoy country living with this classy ranch style, 1 ½ story, tri-level home on 40 acres with two ponds, one of which features an island, a dock and boathouse. Just built 7 years ago, this home has 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, with a “bonus” room over the large attached garage and a basement. The cathedral ceiling in the living room has a half-moon window above the French doors that open up to a back porch and a view of the acreage and the pond. The ponds are stocked and there’s ample wildlife. There’s a separate pole building with two garage-sized overhead doors. A whole-house generator serves to backup the all electric home in the event of a power outage. Located out in the country in Hamilton County, but not far from McLeansboro schools, shopping and medical facilities. The home is spacious with the master bedroom that has a walk-in closet and bathroom that includes a bubble tub with recessed lights and a separate shower. Besides the front and rear porch entry, you can enter from the garage into a laundry room with a half bath. A sink and counter/breakfast bar combo divides the kitchen and living room. The kitchen has a built in pantry closest and there is room for a small table with chairs in front of a bay window in addition to a separate dining room. Recessed lighting in kitchen and living room. Ceramic tile floor in the kitchen, hardwood floor in the dining room, black slate floor in the front entry foyer with carpet in the living room, bedrooms, hallway and in the bonus room along with carpet on the stairs up to the bonus room. Ceiling fans in all three bedrooms, living room, bonus room and dining room. Two bathrooms have linen closets and there is a closet in the front entry foyer. All large appliances go with the home. That includes a Maytag washer and dryer and a refrigerator and dishwasher. If you like to fish or just sit out by the water, the dock over the large pond will entice you. The island in the pond is accessible by boat, and there’s a boathouse to store equipment or perhaps be a workshop or hobby room. The electric is separate from the house, so this might be the place you put your RV or friends can camp and visit. If you like horses or want to have livestock, this property would be ideal. The property has been maintained for optimal wildlife viewing with feed plots and paths mowed. Expect to see deer, turkey, dove, quail, rabbit, squirrel, fox and, of course, coyote. Lots of wildflowers and prairie grass. There are river birches, cedar, and oak trees and a creek that runs (wet weather) on the back of the property. A butterfly garden is located behind the house.
