1444 E. County Road 2710, Niota, IL 62358 - Hancock County

A few miles south of the Great River Road nestled amongst the bluffs of the Mississippi River sits a very unique and picturesque home. The county road meanders through the bluffs as you arrive at this truly magnificent home that is sure to please most anyone. The home was completed in 1994 and is a custom-built berm style home that is finished in log style siding and custom stone work. Berm style homes offer many advantages such as being very energy efficient as well as being protected from storms. The home has central air and heat along with a wood burning central boiler that is used to heat and hot water. The kitchen has very nice granite counter tops and the great room has high vaulted ceilings with plenty of windows allowing lots of natural light in the house. There is also a wood stove in the great room that is used as a heat source when the power goes out. The main level has two bedrooms and two baths while the upstairs has one bedroom and a loft area. The upstairs has a walkout door that leads to the back deck and pool area. The pool is an 18x33 above ground pool that can be heated when needed using the outdoor wood burner and is great for entertaining people of all ages. The list goes on and on with amenities and updates this home has and is a must see. In addition to the home, the property offers a 20’+ deep stocked pond complete with dock. The property also offers some of the finest deer and turkey hunting the area has to offer. The tillable field, which is currently in hay production, has two very good pinch points that are sure to be a kill spot year after year. The woods are primarily mixed hardwood forest with several good bedding areas scattered throughout and worn out trails crisscross the property in all directions. The overall topography offers several natural funnels and pinch points making this farm very easy to hunt. If you have been dreaming of country living that has just about everything you could ask for, look no further. Give me a call today for more information or to schedule a private showing.
