Walnut Creek Country Estate
This remarkable Country Estate encompasses over 16 acres of property, located just 7 miles west of Galesburg, Illinois, a clean, vibrant and welcoming community with a population of 33,000. Galesburg is known for its excellent schools, financial institutions, and well-maintained public facilities.
The estate features two residences: a spacious main family home and a charming cottage situated in the northwest corner of the property, alongside a pristine wooded area of virgin walnut and maple timber. The combined acreage totals over 16 acres. Each residence benefits from its own independent water system, electrical supply, and direct access to roadways.
The main family home, constructed in 1965, boasts 3,600 square feet of living space, featuring a combination of wood and concrete block construction. It includes 10 rooms in total, comprising 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spa/exercise room, a utility room, and two fireplaces. Additionally, there is a 16' x 20' barn/utility building in the backyard with electrical service. A tranquil walnut creek runs along the northern edge of the property, with a culvert bridge that leads to the timbered area and the cottage.
The cottage, located in the northwest 4 acres of the estate, covers approximately 900 square feet. It consists of a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom with shower, and a large sunroom that can serve as an additional guest bedroom if needed. The cottage was originally equipped with a solar power system, which has since been removed due to obsolescence. The cottage area also includes four garage/shop buildings, suitable for tractors, mowers, and other equipment. John Deere tractor and other support equipment included with home. Three of these buildings have floors and electric overhead doors. The property is accessed by a well compacted chat rock gravel road that provides all weather service.
