About This Home

Welcome to a beautiful custom log home set on 40 picturesque acres, offering privacy, rustic charm, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. From the moment you arrive, the circular driveway provides easy access to both the home and the impressive 40x60 pole barn-perfect for turning around trailers, campers, or farm equipment. Step inside and you'll immediately be drawn to the stunning family room, where soaring wood beams and floor-to-ceiling windows create a warm, inviting space filled with natural light. A striking stone fireplace anchors the room, making it the perfect place to gather with family and friends. The kitchen blends rustic elegance with everyday functionality, featuring warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a convenient peninsula for casual dining or entertaining. Just off the kitchen, step out onto a private deck overlooking peaceful woodland views-an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The main floor offers comfortable and convenient living with a spacious primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The primary bedroom showcases a unique stone feature wall that forms the back of the living room fireplace, adding a distinctive architectural touch. Across the home you'll find a second bedroom, a half bath, and an adorable laundry room that is both functional and surprisingly charming. Wooden stairs lead to an inviting loft area upstairs-perfect for a reading nook, craft room, home office, or whatever your imagination inspires. The walkout basement expands the living space with another family room that opens to a private patio overlooking the woods. This level also includes finished rooms that could serve as additional bedrooms, another bathroom for guests, roomy closets, and even a dedicated office space. Outside, the property continues to impress. The 40x60 pole barn features concrete floors and includes a finished room with a half bath, offering a versatile space that could even serve as private guest quarters. Along the back side of the barn is a loafing area that previously sheltered horses. Two additional storage buildings provide plenty of room for side-by-sides, boats, four-wheelers, deer stands, and more. Approximately 25 acres of the property are productive farm ground currently leased to a local farmer for row crops. These crops provide an excellent food source for wildlife, especially white-tailed deer and wild turkey. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being able to step right out the back door to hunt during local bow and shotgun seasons, in an area well known for trophy-size deer. Located at 664 State Highway 145 North, this property sits conveniently between Harrisburg, Illinois and Paducah, Kentucky in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest region. It's just minutes from some of Southern Illinois' most beloved outdoor destinations, including Millstone Bluff, Lake Glendale Recreation Area, Dixon Springs State Park, and the River to River Trail. If you've been dreaming of a peaceful country retreat with room to roam, explore, and enjoy nature, this remarkable log home offers the perfect blend of comfort, recreation, and natural beauty.
