Tucked away in the heart of the Jo Daviess equestrian corridor on Longhollow Road, this hidden gem sits at a 730-foot elevation on 7.44 peaceful acres. This exceptional country home commands breathtaking panoramic views of Longhollow that rival the Irish countryside. Just 20 minutes from historic downtown Galena and 40 minutes from the majestic Mississippi River, this hidden gem offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to regional attractions. Surrounded by tranquil meadows and forests with meticulously landscaped perimeter gardens, the property is just five minutes from 63 holes of championship golf, including the nationally recognized "The General" at Eagle Ridge, and offers easy access via Longhollow Road, which sees minimal traffic as Highway 20 carries most visitors and commuters. From spectacular sunrises and unparalleled stargazing in clear night skies, this location captures the best of country living. The main level of the home welcomes you with a boot room that opens into a charming screened-in porch, perfect for intimate dining. The spacious kitchen is a dream for any home chef, featuring a professional Viking stove and an oversized GE refrigerator. The elegant formal dining room is anchored by a see-through gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance. A distinctive parlor and adjoining library are joined by a striking two-sided wood-burning limestone fireplace. The master suite on this level is thoughtfully designed for accessibility, complete with a handicap-friendly bathroom, and a centrally located powder room between kitchen and library adds convenience. Upstairs, a stunning artisan-crafted staircase leads to a second master suite, while a versatile loft area currently serves as a salon and laundry space. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, and the entire upper level features premium maple hardwood flooring that adds warmth and sophistication. The lower level offers a luxurious steam bath and a cozy entertainment center with fireplace, perfect for relaxing after a long day. Two additional bedrooms provide more space, while a fully upgraded utility room houses a new water heater, water softener, dual furnaces, and even a commercial-grade dog bath. Walk-out access leads directly to the peaceful natural surroundings of the property. Additional highlights include an extra-deep two-car garage with unfinished space above that's pre-plumbed and wired-ready for conversion into an office, guest quarters, or rental unit. The home's classic saltbox colonial architecture is tastefully blended with a modern country aesthetic. Rich, fertile soil makes this property a dream for gardening enthusiasts, and its charm has even earned it a feature in Illinois Tourist Bureau brochures. This home is more than just a place to live-it's a retreat, a sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of beautifully preserved countryside with all the comforts of modern living.
