Property Description
Just minutes from town, this east-facing property has a soaring central clerestory space with high ceilings and large windows throughout for an exceptionally airy, bright home which perfectly blends character and modern comfort. Enjoy the countryside without costly maintenance. While you own a manageable 4+ acres of private prairie, your backyard is seamlessly extended by an additional 45+ acres of exclusive Jani Woods common land. Maintained through a shared low-cost HOA, this protected buffer features old-growth walking trails and a tranquil creek—giving you a beautiful private park with zero personal upkeep. A private well on your property provides unlimited free outdoor watering, allowing you to easily maintain your gardens and lawns. Originally a farmhouse, the entire home was completely rebuilt in the late 1980s with all new wiring, plumbing, and mechanical systems, while maintaining its historic charm. The spacious chef’s kitchen boasts a massive central island, abundant storage, and a lovely dining area with serene outdoor views. A unique sunroom provides a warm, bright oasis on winter days and adds a distinct creative vibe to the home. Features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, plus 2 additional bonus rooms—perfect for home offices, hobby spaces, or guest quarters. A large barn holds incredible potential and is ready for your custom workshop, studio, or storage needs.
