Property Description
Majestic 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath log home set on an elevated perch amidst 5 scenic acres and offering breathtaking panoramic countryside views that stretch for miles in nearly every direction. Tucked into a beautiful setting with a blend of open ground and mature trees, this impressive retreat captures the essence of country living with rustic lodge-style character, expansive living spaces, and a long list of recent improvements. Step inside to an inviting main level highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, rich wood-clad walls and ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring, and a dramatic fireplace that anchors the spacious great room while framing the incredible views beyond. The adjoining kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, center island, eat-at counter seating, and plenty of workspace for entertaining and everyday living. Also on the main level are a convenient powder room, dedicated office/den with built-in shelving and credenza, and a generously sized primary suite with private bath. Upstairs, a huge loft provides a stunning vantage point over the great room below and leads to three comfortable guest bedrooms, including one with private balcony-style deck access and another offering exceptional space with room for a sitting area, plus an additional full bath. The walk-out lower level expands the living options with a large family room, secondary kitchen, fifth bedroom, full bath, laundry/utility area, unfinished storage, mud room that just needs flooring for finish and has deep basin sink and additional laundry hookup, and direct access to the outdoors, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or entertaining. Several outdoor spaces invite you to relax and soak in the scenery, including the expansive covered deck with unforgettable vistas over the neighbor's pond and into the horizon, side deck with privacy and treed backdrop, and lower-level patio access again with more breathtaking views. A sweeping gravel drive accented by attractive retaining walls leads to the attached two-car garage with ample room for vehicles, recreational equipment, and storage. Recent improvements include a new standing seam steel roof, concrete garage approach, new retaining wall for the parking area, reworked gutters, re-laid stone walkway, repairs and replacement of log siding where needed, replacement of most exterior doors including the patio slider, approximately 30 Andersen replacement windows, custom powder-coated railing on the upper deck balcony, refreshed landscaping and updated mulch. A rare opportunity to own a striking log home retreat where dramatic views, rustic elegance, and peaceful country surroundings come together to create an extraordinary place to call home amidst the rolling hills of Jo Daviess County!
