22576 State Highway 97, Oakford, IL 62673 - Menard County

Nestled on 5 peaceful acres just outside Oakford, this unique 4 bed, 2 bath home offers a rare blend of character, history, and natural beauty. Once an old barn, the home was thoughtfully converted and partially built into the hillside, creating a cozy, energy-efficient space that’s been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 40 years. Features include a gas fireplace, marble tile entry and dining area, claw foot tub, and cedar siding. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature with wooded areas, a dry pond (expected to refill with rising water table), and frequent wildlife visitors. The property boasts 4 apple trees, established asparagus and strawberry plants, a garden area, and a screened-in gazebo—ideal for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. Metal roof installed 2018–2019. Detached 1-car garage. City water is available for connection at buyer's expense. Located less than 10 minutes from Petersburg and just 30 minutes from Springfield’s west side, this is a one-of-a-kind country retreat you won’t want to miss!
