Description
Welcome to this stunning hobby farm in Ogle County, where tranquility meets functionality. This property offers a balanced blend of tillable land, pasture, a charming farmhouse, and versatile buildings, all nestled along a lightly traveled road. With 9+/- acres of tillable ground currently in hay and 3+/- acres of fenced pasture divided into several paddocks, this farm is perfect for both agriculture and livestock. The large farmhouse greets you with its inviting presence. Step inside to discover a spacious layout that flows effortlessly from the kitchen to the dining room and family room, complete with a cozy wood fireplace. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a generous eat-in island and ample space for entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms. The oversized primary suite boasts abundant storage, a convenient powder room, and a luxurious walk-in stone shower.

Adjacent to the workshop, you’ll find a 38 x 96 metal building currently used for equipment storage. Convenient access to the different paddocks on the eastern side of the farm makes managing your livestock a breeze. The property also features a large red barn with an office and tack room.
