1770 S Wyckles Rd, Decatur, IL

Thousands of acres of public land, nine miles of trails, abundant wildlife, and year-round outdoor recreation - all just steps from your back door.

Situated on 3.6 acres along the edge of Rock Springs Conservation Area, this unique partial earth home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the privacy of country living while bordering one of Central Illinois' premier outdoor destinations. Rock Springs provides public access for hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and permitted hunting opportunities, making this property especially appealing for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters alike.

Inside, you'll find a home built for comfort and longevity, featuring a custom mantle and granite hearth fireplace, granite kitchen countertops, brand-new Whirlpool appliances, and wooded views from nearly every window. The master suite includes a marble surround tub remodeled just three years ago, while the home offers five bedrooms total and a lower-level full bath with dual sinks, a urinal, and durable hard-surface finishes throughout.

Outside, over $30,000 in custom hardscaping enhances the property. The detached garage features new siding, roofing, windows, and an epoxy-coated floor. A powered chicken coop and a secluded workshop deck tucked deep into the timber add even more functionality and character.

A private creek crossing leads directly to the River Trail and Big Oak Loop, allowing you to access miles of scenic trails, timber, and wildlife habitat without ever leaving your property. Deer, turkey, and other wildlife are frequent visitors, and with Rock Springs' public hunting program nearby, outdoor recreation opportunities are hard to match.

Additional improvements include geothermal heating and cooling, a 50+ year roof, a new 200-amp electrical service, all-new LED lighting, and Samsung washer and dryer units that will remain with the home.

Properties that offer this combination of privacy, recreation, natural beauty, and direct access to public conservation land rarely come available. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a place to raise a family, or a property that allows you to spend more time outdoors, this home delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find in Central Illinois.
