Esmond, Illinois 60129

Well maintained farmstead set up for cattle with all brick 4-bedroom 1.5 bath home and multiple outbuildings located on an all-weather road. Mature pines provide a wind break for the 2100 SF home that has been meticulously cared for and features beautiful original woodwork, large rooms, and recently replaced furnace and AC unit. There appears to be original hardwood floors under the carpet on the 1st floor, the windows are double hung vinyl, the old electric has been pulled and replaced with Romex, and the plumbing has been updated to copper and PVC. This home is comfortable, solid, and move in ready in its current condition. The level of upkeep this home has received throughout its life makes it a top candidate for your dream farmhouse remodel. Your vision of an ideal country home can be made into reality with this house. The walk-up attic space provides ample storage or could be converted to another living space and the basement has tall ceilings not typical for a home this age. You could, however, not change anything in the house right away and return this farm back to "working farm" condition with much less investment than new construction, living and earning income in the same location. The last load of cattle left this farm in February of 2000 but the owners maintained the infrastructure that they had painstakingly designed for functionality and ease of truck traffic. The 51' x 90' shop has a heated area with a concrete floor and a 12' overhead door. That area is insulated and has a canvas drop cloth to keep the heat in from the cold storage area in the winter and a 14' sliding door at the other end that provides access to most modern equipment. Adjacent to the Harvestore silos is a 30' x 60' feed shed with concrete floor, electric, and a 14' door. A drive from Mowers Rd provides easy access for loading and unloading to both the cattle sheds. The first is a 42' x 100' building with electric and water outside and the other is 60' x 135' with electric and copper lines ran for the waterers. With the adjacent 74 acres of Class A farmland available (MLS # 12272394) this is an ideal location and rare opportunity to expand your current operation without all new construction. You can't buy happiness but you can buy dirt.
