Enjoy beautiful views from the spacious kitchen, large living areas, deck, or screened-in porch. Spend time outdoors with walking trails, large playground, basketball hoop, large grass areas for sports, and hills for sledding. Located: 20 minutes from Monmouth, IL; 25 minutes from Galesburg, IL; and 35 minutes from Macomb, IL. You will have the entire house to yourself. This timberframe home is 4,500 sq ft and was built on the top of a hill overlooking a valley and woods. It was built with reclaimed barn beams from one of my great Grandpa's barns and insulated concrete walls surrounding most of the house. The main level has 1800 sq ft of living space. The master bedroom is located on this level and has a king size bed, walk-in closet, and master bathroom with a shower and a whirlpool tub. There is also a small bedroom with 2 toddler beds and a large pack 'n play that can be used as a crib. Besides the bedrooms, there is also a large modern kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, 1/2 bathroom, and large living/dining area with wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling that is 30 ft to the peak of the roof. From the open living/dining area, you can walk out to a screened-in porch that overlooks the valley. On the upper level, there is 900 sq ft of living space. There is a bathroom with a shower. Next to the bathroom are two different bedrooms. Both bedrooms are enclosed with a door and walls, but two of the walls do not go completely to the vaulted ceiling. Please see pictures. One bedroom has a queen size bed, desk and dresser. The other bedroom has a queen size bed, chair, and dresser. There is also a loft reading area with a large selection of books and another open room on the east side of the house. The lower level is a partially finished 1800 sq ft walk-out basement with a large bedroom with 4 twin beds, walk-in closet, bathroom with tub/shower, large play room with toys and mini basketball hoops, and large room with couches, TV, music keyboard, and games/puzzles. The storage room is locked and not available for use. From the walk-out basement, you can access a concrete patio which is underneath the screened-in porch. There is an outdoor fire pit near the patio. Our property has a variety of things to do outside: deck with Traeger wood pellet grill, screened-in porch, outdoor fire pit, trails through the woods, large playground equipment, large grass areas to play soccer/kickball/football/baseball, large concrete area with basketball hoop, and hills for sledding. Various wildlife, such as deer and turkey, have been seen while on the property. The house and property are very peaceful and quiet due to its remote location. It is between 15 - 30 miles to Monmouth, Galesburg, or Macomb. Please note that the property is located on a county maintained gravel road. We also have an outdoor security camera to monitor the front door area. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen -

It is not handicap accessible. The master bed was very comfortable, 2 bedrooms upstairs are nice, the basement is really just for kids. Unfinished and only twin beds. A few spider webs and a fly infestation could easily be fixed. No doors on 2 of the bathrooms. Huge yard and playground for the kids.

Everything was wonderful plus watching the deer and beautiful countryside in the morning provided a sense of calm for us. We are all over 60 and the beds were very comfortable.

We could’ve stayed at a hotel but decided against it and I’m sure glad we did. We were together yet we all had our own space. This place was perfect quiet, peaceful, relaxing, the breeze on the deck, the view of deers, birds, rabbits and yes the rolling fields. This place is amazing.

Our whole family along with married siblings and children stayed for a couple nights! The house has a cozy feel that makes you feel right at home. The kitchen is large and well stocked. Neat interior with the vaulted barn style beams and ceiling. The upstairs bedrooms don’t have a ceiling so you can see the peaked roof which is neat but it’s also harder to lay down the young children at night if people are still talking on the main floor as the sound carries right up to the bedrooms. We used a sound machine that helped a lot! Jen was did a super job accommodating our large family! We’d love to stay here again some time! ##### Corbin S.

Great place for conversation, reflection, and sharing stories. The home is remote but, our GPS took us right to it, and that remoteness is part of the charm and beauty of the experience. We are golfers so finding two very nice AFFORDABLE courses nearby, one in Monmouth and one in Galesburg, was a bonus. The home is so well designed and beautiful. I am a home designer and construction mgr by trade and was impressed. I could go on and on about the unique and energy efficient construction, but not now. God willing, we all want to try and get together there again. Big Thank You to Jen and Jeff for being so accommodating. ##### Greg K.
