Property Description
Located in Ogle County just outside Oregon, Illinois, this 8.31-acre property offers an outstanding combination of comfortable country living, hobby farm functionality, and recreational opportunity. Whether you are looking for a primary residence, a small farm, or a property with room to enjoy the outdoors, this versatile offering checks a wide variety of boxes. Conveniently situated within the Oregon School District, the property also provides quick access to Rockford, DeKalb, Dixon, and surrounding communities throughout northern Illinois. The front of the property features a well-maintained four-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom ranch home that has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its practical layout. The newly remodeled kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring an attractive coffee bar area and an open flow into the spacious family room, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor currently offers four bedrooms with convenient access to a full bathroom. One bedroom has been converted into a main-floor laundry room for added convenience, but it can easily be converted back into a bedroom by relocating the laundry to the unfinished lower level. The lower level provides abundant storage space while also offering excellent potential for additional finished living space, recreation, hobby rooms, or a workshop. Step outside to enjoy one of the property's most impressive features. The rear of the home opens onto a large concrete patio and composite Trex deck complete with a hot tub and grilling area. This outdoor living space is perfectly positioned to enjoy beautiful morning sunrises overlooking the pond while benefiting from afternoon shade during warmer months. It creates an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining family and friends, or simply enjoying peaceful country views. The scenic pond measures over one acre and features an attractive shape with a secluded cove extending back into the timber, creating the appearance and feel of a much larger body of water. The pond enhances both the beauty and recreational appeal of the property while serving as an excellent water source for local wildlife. Currently operating as a turnkey hobby farm, the property includes fenced pasture suitable for livestock along with numerous improvements that support a variety of agricultural uses. A 36' x 42' outbuilding provides ample storage for equipment, vehicles, tools, or livestock supplies, while the attached 12-foot lean-to offers convenient covered hay storage. An established greenhouse creates opportunities for gardening, plant production, or extending the growing season. Additional open ground located east of the existing buildings offers the potential to expand the pasture if desired or could be utilized for additional agricultural uses, gardens, or habitat improvements. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the recreational possibilities this property offers. The surrounding mix of timber and neighboring agricultural fields naturally supports wildlife movement through the area. Portions of the timber edge could be enhanced with food plots, native grasses, or additional habitat improvements to create attractive hunting opportunities for whitetail deer and other wildlife traveling between adjacent agricultural fields and wooded cover. Another unique feature is the property's configuration. Consisting of two separate parcels, the property offers additional flexibility for future use. An additional entrance along Deer Path Road provides direct access to the rear portion of the property. A lane extends around the pond, and an existing culvert allows access to the back acreage. Subject to county approvals and applicable regulations, the second parcel may offer future building site potential. This property combines residential comfort, hobby farm improvements, scenic water features, recreational opportunities, and future flexibility in a highly desirable location near Oregon.
