3183 W Mitchell, Hanover, IL 61041 - Jo Daviess County

Beautiful Heart Built custom built 3 BR 3 Bath log home on 60-acre recreational property located in the heart of Jo Daviess County. Nestled in the hills between Elizabeth and the Galena Territory, this property is among the picturesque valley views witnessed from the popular Scenic overlook on Hwy 20. This valley is quite possibly one of the most beautiful valleys in all of Illinois. Surrounded by hills, mature forests and abundant wildlife, it is an ideal location to become immersed in nature. Whether used as a getaway or permanent residence, in this serene setting, you cannot help but relax and have fun. This magnificent home has 3 floors with the primary living area on the main level. Beautiful hardwood floors that have been fully restored in 2024, a kitchen large enough to impress any chef that boasts high-quality, black granite counter tops, and stainless appliances. The lower level is fully finished with a gas fireplace, large bedroom, full bath, and a laundry/utility room. The upper level hosts the primary bedroom suite, with a spacious loft area, and a patio door that accesses a wonderful wrap around deck fully rebuilt in 2024. There is a beautiful staircase built using half logs that overlooks the great room below used to access this level. The property includes 2 large sheds that can be utilized for a multitude of purposes. The primary shed/garage has an asphalt floor and a fully functional workshop with a heated area, full bath, and large overhead doors on both ends. Adjacently, another large shed was built as a horse-riding arena with a sand floor. There is also a ¾ acre stocked pond. The game fish includes largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill to mention a few. With all 60 acres accessible, this is the perfect property for ATV and snowmobile enthusiasts. Additionally, hunting here is world class. The Conservation area Tapley Woods, borders the property, along with endless fields of hay and cropland. In addition, the property has a grid tied solar array professionally built by Eagle Point Solar which offset electrical costs. Most months, solar produces more electricity than the home uses. Recent updates include a new patio door on the main level, new railings on the front deck, new LED lighting and ceiling fans, and the new upper deck and refinished hardwood floors mentioned above. This is truly a beautiful unique property that must be seen to truly appreciate.
