Listing information updated 9/2/2025 at 6:03am

Set on over 27 acres in unincorporated McHenry County, this one-of-a-kind property defies categories. With more than 6,500 square feet of living space, it offers a flexible floorplan full of possibility-multiple bedrooms, bonus rooms, lofts, and spaces that invite imagination. From the moment you enter, it's clear this place is special. Authentic Saltillo tile floors warm the great room, kitchen, and office, complementing the soaring ceilings and statement fireplace in the family room. The current owner has infused the property with character at every turn-hundreds of thousands invested in thoughtful upgrades that respect the spirit of the home while elevating it. The kitchen features 2022 appliances and upgrades. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with new hardwood floors and a spa-like bathroom where you can soak while looking out over your private acreage. A bonus room-accessible from the suite or a private staircase in the garage-could be an art studio, playroom, home theater. The third-floor loft adds a fun surprise, and the walkout lower level includes a bedroom, bathroom, and bar-perfect for guests or extended living. Outdoor living is just as compelling: multiple decks, gazebos, a stocked fishing pond, fireplaces, fire pits, ATV trails and views that go on for miles.The garage? It's a split 6+ car haven with room for toys, tools, and more. One of the garages has been transformed into a luxury dog suite-yes, climate controlled with a dog washing sink and direct access to a whimsical "dog woods"---one acre completely fenced with metal fencing and winding mulched paths. In addition, there are 10 acres fenced with an invisible fence. At the road, there are approximately 10 acres, which could be converted for horse pasture land. New roof, water heater, and one new HVAC system in 2024. Just imagine the possibilities as your family retreat or full time home. Close to Lake Geneva and charming downtown Woodstock, with commuter train access in nearby Harvard.
