Land with Home for Sale in Manhattan, Illinois

A more pristine property spanning 14 rolling waterfront acres would be tough to find! Just minutes from downtown Manhattan, this 3400 square foot custom brick home, built in 1989 has so much amenity & versatility for just about any new owner. Consider the 5 bedrooms, including a 2nd floor master suite, a basement bedroom and a main floor bedroom with nearby full bath (related living anyone)? How about your pick of main floor office/den areas, for remote working, or reading & relaxation? The newly remodeled kitchen featuring porcelain floors, custom cabinets & lighting, hard surface counter tops & stainless steel appliances is also adjacent to the generous kitchen table area & main floor laundry/mud room (just inside from the 50' x 30' heated garage). A more formal dining room is just footsteps away and across from the custom curved staircase in the foyer is a spacious living room. Overlooking the back yard gazebo, brick paver patio & fenced in yard space is a cathedraled family room, offering a floor to ceiling brick masonry fireplace! In addition to the primary suite upstairs, with whirlpool tub, separate shower, dual vanity & walk-in closet there are 3 more generously sized bedrooms, a walk-in attic & spiraled staircase down to a main floor multi-purpose room. About 2/3 of the full basement is finished and features a rec room w/wet bar. OKAY-Let's head outside & highlight some outstanding features. There is a 60' wide by 100' deep barn with heat and a concrete floor, which is in superb condition and has a walk-up 2nd floor spanning the entire footprint of the barn! The barn is equipped with horse stalls. Additional storage sheds are also on the property. A portion of the acreage is fenced, while the majority of acreage is open and gives way to Jackson Creek and beyond to the other side of the creek! Truly breathtaking views from all directions on this magnificent one of a kind property, which is served by a private well and septic system, Nicor Gas (no propane tank) and ComEd electric. Manhattan grade school and Lincoln-Way high school for educational brilliance!
