Home Details for 10343 N Girl Scout Road

Surrounded by timber and sitting high on a ridge, this well-built ranch home offers privacy, peace, and some of the best views you will find anywhere in the region. The setting alone separates this property from the rest. A winding lane carries you through the rolling contours of the land and sets the tone long before you reach the home. Once at the top, the views open in every direction and make it clear why this location is special. The home features an open floor plan with a natural flow that works well for everyday living and for entertaining. When you step inside, the first thing you notice is the amount of natural light and the views that can be seen from nearly every room. The living room is centered around a gas fireplace and opens directly into the formal dining area and kitchen, creating a connected and comfortable main living space. The kitchen offers quality cabinetry, ample counter space, and room to eat at the counter, making it a practical and inviting place to gather. On the opposite side of the kitchen, the family room is tucked away for a more relaxed setting and features a wood-burning fireplace. This space leads directly out to the back deck that wraps around the house and has a ramp, which overlooks the land and provides an ideal spot for hosting family and friends or simply enjoying a quiet evening. This wing of the home also includes a half bath and first-floor laundry for added convenience. The bedroom wing includes a spacious primary bedroom with a private bathroom and walk in closet. The second bedroom has access to another full bathroom, and the third bedroom is currently being used as an office but could easily be converted back to sleeping space. The lower level is unfinished but full of potential, with multiple windows, a flexible gas or wood fireplace, an exterior access door, and plumbing already roughed in for an additional bathroom. This area would be well-suited for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or expanded living space. Outside, the property continues to impress. The backyard offers room for summer activities and features a firepit area overlooking the river, making it a perfect place to unwind. The attached oversized three car garage provides plenty of space for vehicles and storage. Just steps away is a 40 by 70 outbuilding with a full concrete floor, water line, and an 11 by 23 wood shop complete with a stove. In addition to the main outbuilding, there is a secondary building ideal for animals, along with an adjoining pasture. The timbered portions of the property feature rolling terrain and connect to large blocks of neighboring timber, creating excellent habitat and travel corridors for wildlife. Located in an area known for strong whitetail deer management, this property offers outstanding recreational appeal for hunting, hiking, and outdoor enjoyment. Privately located yet offering quick access to US 20 and I-90, and situated within the highly rated Stillman Valley School District, this 48-acre property in Ogle County is a rare opportunity. Properties with this combination of land, views, buildings, and location do not come available often. ** Do not drive down the lane without an approved appointment**
