Property Description
Located in the heart of Ogle County, within the highly sought-after Meridian School District, this 5-acre property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. With a beautiful, well-maintained home (newer roof, windows & air conditioner), multiple outbuildings, and a flat fenced pasture surrounded by mature trees. It's the perfect setup for horses or a hobby farmette while providing all the comforts of country living. The home has a welcoming open layout with tons of natural light filtering into a vaulted knotty-pine family room complete with a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen flows seamlessly from this space, featuring an oversized island, abundant cabinetry, and an open concept into the dining area. A sliding door off the dining room leads to one of the property's decks, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, a cozy loft provides flexible space for an office, playroom, or guest accommodations. The expansive master suite includes a large bathroom and closet, while two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom down the hall. A first-floor laundry and mudroom, with its own half bath and walkout to another deck, adds functionality and convenience. The property is just as impressive outside. A 24x92 barn provides versatile space for both shop and livestock use. The 24x36 front section, currently used for hay storage, features a spray-foam ceiling and could be converted into a workshop if desired. The back portion houses four stalls, a concrete-floored tack room, and a 12-foot lean-to that leads to a fenced pasture. Additional amenities include two paddocks with automatic waterers, an open 10x30 loafing shed for cover, as well as a 16x12 loafing shed in a separate paddock. For equestrian enthusiasts, the 150x190 sand arena is ideal for working or riding horses, whether your passion is Western or English! Beyond the sand arena is nearly 2 acres of pasture for grazing. This property combines the joy of country living with quick access to I-39/90 & 88 while also being a stone's throw away from Rockford. If you've been wanting to make that move to a country home with quick access to everything, then THIS 5-acre property truly is the best of both worlds.
