Fantastic Farmstead on 17.81 Acres - A Rare Piece of Illinois History. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse offers both comfort and heritage, nestled on 17.81 acres of beautiful, usable land. Recognized as an Illinois Department of Agriculture Centennial Farm, established in 1909, this property carries a proud agricultural legacy and is ready for its next chapter. A thoughtfully designed addition brings abundant space, including a welcoming foyer off the deck, a large Great Room with bay window and corner gas fireplace, and a private primary suite with walk-in closet and nearby laundry room tucked behind pocket doors. The country kitchen and common bath were tastefully refreshed at the time of the addition and maintain their classic charm. A circular floor plan enhances flow between the kitchen, formal dining room, and Great Room-perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The second main-level bedroom opens to the front porch and would serve equally well as an office, library, or guest room. At the rear of the home, an enclosed east-facing porch offers access to the basement and exceptional natural light-making it ideal for a home business, craft room, studio, or indoor seed starting area for your garden. The space also provides remarkable storage. Outdoors, you'll find a 60' x 40' garage/machine shed, multiple outbuildings, mature shade trees, and lovingly maintained perennial beds. The land is well-suited for horses, livestock, or simply room to roam. Located within Monticello's highly rated school district, between Monticello and Champaign, and just a 15 minute drive from Clinton Lake and campgrounds. Convenient access to I-72 makes this a rare opportunity to enjoy quiet country living without sacrificing connection and convenience. Timeless, grounded, and full of potential-this is a farmstead to build a life on!
