Description

A truly exceptional and rare offering, this private 17-acre estate is a world of its own. At the heart of the property sits a charming 4-bedroom home and expansive pole barn, surrounded by productive acreage and endless possibilities. Enjoy unmatched privacy, effortless access to major interstates, and the freedom to create your ultimate country retreat, hobby farm, or outdoor sanctuary. Land This desirable 17-acre tract is a hidden gem just northwest of Kirkland, IL  in DeKalb County, offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and versatility. After more than 35 years of ownership, this property is ready for its next chapter and new owner.

A gated entrance off Willow Road leads to a secluded property surrounded by mature trees, creating a peaceful setting with exceptional privacy. Previously enrolled in the CRP program, the property currently features approximately 9 acres of open grassland with excellent drainage—an ideal setting for pasture, livestock, organic farming, or other agricultural uses. With some general brush and vegetation cleanup, additional acreage could potentially be brought back into production.

The northern approximately 4 acres feature a beautiful stand of mature White Oak and Black Walnut trees, planted more than 30 years ago. With the Kishwaukee River located just across Willow Road, this mature timber stand benefits from its proximity to a well-established wildlife corridor. The property offers a unique combination of recreational opportunities, including hunting, nature enjoyment, and outdoor exploration, while also offering potential future timber value.

Whether you’re looking for a private rural retreat, agricultural opportunity, recreational property, or a combination of uses, this unique 17-acre tract offers a rare opportunity to make the land your own.

Improvements At the center of it all is a beautiful, move-in-ready two-story home offering 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a two-car garage. The main level features two spacious living/dining areas, a functional kitchen, and a convenient half bath, along with a new deck overlooking the backyard—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms and a shared full bath. The partially finished walkout basement adds even more versatility, featuring a half bath, two egress windows, and a walkout door providing direct access to the backyard.

Meticulously maintained over the years, the home has seen numerous improvements completed as needed, providing a solid foundation for its next owner. With plenty of opportunity to personalize and update, this property offers the chance to create a home that truly reflects your own style and vision.

Just behind the house is a well-positioned 52′ x 26′ pole barn, offering an abundance of space and endless possibilities. Whether you envision a workshop, storage space, hobby area, or something entirely your own, this versatile building is ready to be transformed to suit your needs.
