Located on the outskirts of Winnebago, this property offers a combination of rural acreage, functional improvements, and convenient access to the nearby community. The property is zoned agricultural and is positioned near the edge of town, with a direct connection to the Pecatonica Prairie Path that allows for walking or biking access into Winnebago and beyond. The home sits near the front of the property and features a well-maintained farmhouse with a covered front porch. The surrounding yard includes multiple established garden areas with hostas and other perennial plantings that provide low-maintenance landscaping and add to the overall curb appeal. Inside, the layout provides a practical flow between living spaces. An oversized living room connects to the dining area, creating an open and usable main living space. A separate room on the main level can serve as an office or den, depending on needs. The kitchen offers a functional layout with ample counter space and cabinet storage. It also provides access to a bathroom, laundry area, 3-season Sunroom, and a rear entry that leads to the backyard. Upstairs, the home includes three bedrooms with a central walk-in closet and a cedar closet for storage. A half bathroom is also located on the upper level. The basement is unfinished but clean and provides additional storage space or utility use. Off the rear of the home, a deck and flagstone patio create an outdoor area suitable for general use and gathering. Outbuildings on the property add to its usability. A 24' by 40' detached garage includes three overhead doors, in-floor heat, and lighting, making it suitable for vehicle storage, equipment, or workspace use. In addition to the garage, there is a 30' by 34' well-maintained barn with multiple levels. The barn provides 1400+ sq ft of additional space for equipment storage, tools, or other agricultural uses on both levels. Behind the improvements, there is approximately one and a half acres of open ground. This area could be used for pasture, fencing, or general outdoor use, depending on preference. A seasonal creek runs through part of the property, and a newly installed crossing allows access into the timbered portion of the land. The timber area includes established trails that connect through the property and extend to the Pecatonica Prairie Path. This regional trail system spans approximately 29.5 miles and connects Rockford to Freeport. The access point from this property provides a direct link to a maintained trail suitable for walking, biking, and other recreational use. Throughout the timber, the property is scattered with wild berries and black raspberry bushes that provide natural forage for wildlife and seasonal picking. The combination of agricultural zoning, residential improvements, and direct trail access provides a range of potential uses. The property is located a short drive from Rockford and Freeport, offering access to employment, services, and regional transportation routes while maintaining a rural setting. This property presents an opportunity for buyers seeking a home with acreage, usable outbuildings, and access to an established trail system in Winnebago County.
