For almost 50 years, the 'RPlace' estate has been lovingly owned and operated by the same family, now it's time for a new owner to reimagine its future. Whether as a 'family compound,' a paradise for your horses, a hobby farm/farmstand, or a place for friends to 'retreat,' the possibilities go on. (**Please note: the 5-acre parcel to the south w/ the home, pool, 3 outbuildings is now also for sale SEPARATELY for $675,000!!! See MLS #11898840**). This little treasure is in the perfect location, tucked out of sight on 10 acres of secluded lush grounds, yet only 1 mile to Prairie Ridge school, 2 miles to Veterans' acres and 2.5 miles from the center of Crystal Lake / Metra station. The estate is truly an oasis from the hustle and bustle. Historic and charming, the possibilities of how to enjoy the space are endless. The residence is updated and well appointed with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a finished basement with access to the garage. The vaulted family room with floor-to-ceiling fireplace and plantation shutters is stately and stylish; it's large enough for all of your holiday gatherings, yet sooo cozy. The attached dining room has a wet bar and is large enough for hosting the entire extended family. There is a spacious screened porch, and the home also offers several outdoor spaces to expand entertaining opportunities. In addition to the 2 car garage, there are several outdoor parking spaces, as well as parking in the surrounding structures. The gated, custom in-ground pool is equipped with a newer heater, pump and liner. Also, an attached spa and hand-masoned fireplace, which is the perfect combination of artistry and functionality. Turn up the tunes in the pool house while you relax in the sun. The kitchenette makes entertaining simple, while the outdoor TV cubby offers a great way to enjoy your favorite sports team or movie while you indulge in a meal or relax in the hot tub. Perfect for all age entertainment! But that's not all, there is a majestic (34' x 80') dairy barn which is one of McHenry County's historic relics, dating back to the 1920's - in wonderful condition with a new steel roof. The main level could hold food/hay and supplies for animals or would make an amazing 'entertaining' space, auto hobbyist storage, you name it! The lower level is outfitted to be used for animal stalls and/or equipment/implement storage. The second, smaller barn dates back to the 1850's and is insulated, heated, and makes the perfect vehicle shop space, also with a brand-new metal roof. Kids and Adults alike enjoy its upstairs game room. Rounding out the estate is a wood 24' x 18' wood working shop, and an old-fashioned 'corn crib' that would make a wonderful studio, possible horse stables, or just extra storage. The property's grounds have trails for walking, riding or ATV exploring, and approximately 8 of the 10+ acres are fenced. Outstanding schools! North Elementary w/ the dual language program, Hannah Beardsley MS, and award-winning Prairie Ridge HS. Property is divided into 2 (approx. 5 acre) parcels and could be divided if the future owner desires. Come see this 'hidden gem' while it lasts! *See property video, as well as the list of property features/updates - there are too many to list here!*
