Property Description
Tucked back off a quiet road just north of Byron, this log cabin's got views in every direction and the kind of privacy folks dream about. As you pull down the long driveway, you'll pass by timber and native prairie—the kind of land that just unfolds the farther in you go. This place has a great mix—about 15 acres of mature woods and 15 acres of open prairie, all tied together with over a mile of walking trails. Whether you're hiking, riding, or just enjoying the peace and quiet, there's space to roam. Step inside, and you've got an open, cozy living space. A big stone fireplace stretches from floor to ceiling, and the vaulted ceilings and large windows pull in all the natural light. The kitchen flows right off the family room—plenty of cabinet space, a center island, newer appliances, and a great spot to gather around. Off to the side, there's another living room for when you want a little more space to spread out. The main level has a full bath, laundry room, and a large pantry that could easily be turned into an office. Upstairs, there's a big open loft with tons of possibilities. The master suite sits on one side of the cabin with its own bathroom and a walk-in shower, while two more bedrooms and another full bath sit on the other. The finished basement adds even more room—with a bar, pool table area, rec space, and a half bath—perfect for hosting. Outside, there's a big deck and patio area that overlooks the pool—ideal for summer get-togethers. A 44x54 outbuilding with concrete floors and electricity sits just down the lane, next to a set of chicken coops. And up by the road, there's another building that's great for storing equipment. This property's got all kinds of potential—plenty of space to add food plots, expand hunting setups, or even bring in horses or livestock. The back portion of the property has thick, early-growth woods—tucked away and perfect for holding deer. Located in the Byron school district with quick access to US-20 and I-90, this is one of those rare places that checks a lot of boxes—peace, space, and a whole lot of potential.
