About This Home

This two-story Mississippi-Georgian style estate offers a rare opportunity in Southern Illinois, combining architectural elegance, privacy, and versatile use potential on 4+/- acres, with additional acreage available for purchase. Surrounded by panoramic views and open countryside, the property presents an ideal setting for a private residence, event venue, retreat destination, or short-term rental investment. The home spans nearly 7,000 square feet and features 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, designed for both everyday living and large gatherings. The entrance boasts a grand two-story foyer highlighted by a sweeping staircase, a Swarovski crystal chandelier, and Alabama White Marble flooring, the same marble used in the United States Supreme Court building. The scale and craftsmanship immediately set the tone for the rest of the residence. The main level includes a spacious living room designed for entertaining, a formal dining area, a large kitchen, and an executive office suite. Upstairs, the second floor is an expansive master suite and bath, along with two additional bedrooms featuring private baths, a fourth bedroom, and a hall laundry and bath area. Each level is arranged to balance openness with privacy. The walkout basement functions as a fully independent living space, complete with a second kitchen, dining area, two bedrooms, a hall bath, and a large living area. This layout creates flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential rental use.
