4989 N Ford Road, Scales Mound, IL, 61075

A breathtaking property offering rural living with modern amenities and lots of storage. The house is nearly 3000 Ft2 of living space (and an additional 1000 Ft2 finished basement) that underwent a full gut-rehab (kitchen and baths, wiring and plumbing) in 2014. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a 420 Ft2 screened porch, and a 2-car attached garage. The oversized, eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops with a subway-tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a large walk-in pantry (currently used as an office), a large bay window overlooking the land, and sliding doors onto the screened porch. The main level includes the dining and living rooms (with custom built-in bookshelves and custom-designed wood and polished granite fireplace), a large mud room, laundry, and a half bath. The upper level is home to all 5 bedrooms (the primary bedroom with an en-suite), and a second full bath. The house sits on 10.35 acres zoned as farmland, including a 4200 Ft2 barn (redone in 2021/2022 including a workshop with water, electric, and gray septic) and a pond. The additional 59.79 acres are in a conservation easement and include a large stocked pond, prairie land, and forests. Too much to describe, this is a must-see property! Farm Bell (next to garage/back patio), lawn ornaments, refrigerator and coat hanger on the screened porch, and inside plant wall hangers do not stay. (See Associated Documents for additional property details.) Acreage and square footage from County records, but lot dimensions are not available.
