About the Listing 26020 - 251196
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this unique 2+ acre property which has been farmed since 1830 and is listed on the Kane County Historic Register! Located minutes from everything you could need and consisting of 2 historic homes, 2 outbuildings, and 2 organic gardens to grow flowers, herbs, and fresh veggies, this space has most recently been home to Farmhouse School - a small business devoted to teaching people how to grow and cook "real" food. The 1860 Farm House is a 2567 sf/3 bedroom, 2.1 bath residence that has been completely renovated down to the studs. With modern baths and kitchen, 1st-floor laundry and master suite, modern HVAC, and plenty of living and entertaining space, this home provides all the conveniences you need while still honoring the original vintage charm. The expansive deep basement gives you tons of storage plus the possibility of finishing part of it for additional living space. Both a front porch and a back screened porch are the perfect places to rest and relax at the end of a long day with a view of the nearby pond and prairie. The 1847 Durant Home (1900 sf) was moved to the property and renovations completed in 1999 when it began its life as a cooking school - complete with a special use permit for light commercial use and full ADA compliance. Two bedrooms and 1.1 baths plus an enormous kitchen with numerous cooking stations - which could easily be transformed into a great room! With an additional modern basement, this house provides plenty of storage as well! The barn is the oldest structure in Campton Township (1833) and has two levels for storage and entertaining! Both the barn and the 2-car coach house (1929) have been made structurally sound and have new electrical wiring - the barn also has new oak flooring in many places. The grounds are filled with spaces to explore and delight in: from the apple orchard to the classically designed flower and vegetable garden to the grapevine arbor for dinner parties to the willow fences to the oversized gazebo and more! Full of character and history, this little slice of yesteryear is ready for its next reincarnation: will it continue on as a school for cooking, art or music? Will it become home to a multi-generational family? Will it provide a work-from-home opportunity for an individual or small business? Will it become a charming B&B or special events venue? Will it allow for the most magical homeschool or Montessori setting? The possibilities are endless in this storied, much-loved location! With too many custom details to list here, take a tour of the farm and experience life in the country with all the conveniences of suburbia today! Don't miss the virtual tour as well to have a tiny glimpse of all that this magical property holds!
