About This Home

Home is under contract. Welcome to Oakberry Farm, a rare 8.5-acre private country estate tucked among mature hardwoods and rolling woodlands just minutes from Oswego, Plainfield, and Naperville. Rich in history, character, and natural beauty, this remarkable property offers two homes, multiple outbuildings, private walking trails, and a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday.~~~The centerpiece of the estate is a beautifully renovated Victorian farmhouse featuring 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3,038 square feet. Timeless architectural details, soaring ceilings, original character, and extensive updates combine to create a home that is both elegant and inviting.~~~A separate Cottage offers an additional 1,662 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, creating exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, a private home office, caretaker quarters, or potential rental opportunities.~~~The property also includes a heated and insulated Art Studio with concrete floors and electricity, detached 3-car garage, greenhouse, garden shed, and two historic barn structures that contribute to the property's unique charm and story. A picturesque two-story timber-frame barn stands as a reminder of the property's agricultural roots and creates a stunning focal point within the landscape, while a charming former stable building, affectionately known as "The Museum," further enhances the estate's historic appeal.~~~Towering oak, walnut, maple, and other mature hardwood trees surround the property, while private trails wind through the woods creating an extraordinary backdrop for daily life. Agricultural zoning offers flexibility for future use while preserving the property's rural character.~~~Properties of this caliber and versatility rarely become available. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, multi-generational estate, or simply a one-of-a-kind property with unmatched character and setting, Oakberry Farm presents an exceptional opportunity.
