Property Description
Escape to the woods near Starved Rock with this one owner log cabin style retreat set on two private, secluded acres. Wrapped in log faced wooden siding, this home centers around a dramatic interior stone fireplace that rises through the peak of the vaulted, open loft ceiling, blending rustic character with genuine functionality. The open concept main floor features a spacious kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, a bar, and all appliances included, flowing into the living room beneath the soaring loft. The main floor offers an updated full bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, a stand up shower, and solid wood vanity, while the finished basement adds a second living area, a separate laundry room, a half bath, and an additional bedroom. The loft serves as a private master retreat overlooking the great room below. Mechanicals have been thoughtfully updated, including the HVAC system, hot water heater, and a new battery backup sump pump. Outside, the property offers exceptional versatility with a Morton building featuring a heated shop bay with office space and its own fireplace and bathroom, indoor outdoor dog kennels, and horse stalls, ideal for equestrian or boarding use so close to Starved Rock. Additional concrete pads with electrical hookups offer potential for campers or an Airbnb style outdoor rental setup. Complete with a small orchard of apple and pear trees, small ponds, and total privacy, this property is a rare opportunity for hobby farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking space, seclusion, and versatility near Starved Rock.
