Dreaming of your own private wildlife sanctuary, but not a long commute? This wonderful custom-built home has all that and more! Over 5,500 square feet of living space, surrounded by about 6 acres of nature in the highly requested Rockford School District. Add a pole barn and this home checks all the boxes. On entry, the fireplace anchors the huge main living area with 11' tray ceiling, and lots of space for entertaining or just relaxing. The 16' French doors opening onto the deck bring light in the winter and draw you back out to the deck in the spring. As you take in the space you catch the well-planned kitchen and dining area with sliders to the deck. A set of French doors keep the office private. The main floor Primary suite is any owner's dream - 15' x 22' with gas log fireplace, sitting area, sliders to both a private deck and the main deck (that is built & wired for a hot tub), great walk-in closet, and beautiful ensuite bath with jetted tub. Bedroom #2 is at the opposite end of the home and has a slider to its own deck area. BR #3 is the nursery (currently game room). The lower level features a spacious family room with walkout to a covered patio, 2 large daylight BRs, a full bath, rec/bonus room, workout room and lots of storage. Currently a 5 BR, with a great option to transform the rec/bonus room into #6. Decks on 3 sides of the home offer great places to view birds, deer, turkeys and other wildlife! Outdoors you will find a circle drive, lovely landscaping, a path down the hill to the creek, underground fencing, 8 zone irrigation, a garden spot, extra parking area and shed/deer blind down in back. The pole barn is amazing - check out the features list attached! The wood furnace supplements the home in the winter. Both levels of this home have 9' ceilings and are built around centered open living areas with bedrooms on each end. Updates this spring include 2 new furnaces and A/Cs, a complete remodel of the lower level, decking replacement, and new kitchen & workout room plank vinyl flooring.
