Multiple offers have been received - interested parties are asked to submit their highest and best offers by 10/3/25 at 5:00pm. Incredibly rare opportunity! How often do you see a 4 bedroom, 3 bath brick ranch home with 10 ACRES in a prime location, with a huge barn, super low electric bill, and built-in business all ready to go? Whether you need space and storage for a business you're already running, or you fancy starting up the very successful apple orchard business, or you just want a hobby farm close to everything, this is a must see! Just 6 minutes from either I355 or I80, you'll approach this gem of a home with privacy in every direction! A warm reception awaits in this semi-open layout, with newer oak floors lighting up both the spacious living room and the combination kitchen and dining room near the back. The updated kitchen retains its country charm, with solid wood cabinets and granite countertops along with stainless steel appliances, and offers the first alluring look at the farmstead outside. Down the hall are 4 bedrooms, all with new carpet and tons of natural light spilling in - the main suite offers a full bath along with a walk-in closet - no compromises made on this contemporary homestead! The full English basement offers even more space, perfect for hosting parties or having a quiet spot while still bringing in sunshine - the wood stove is the owners' primary source of heat through autumn and even into summer - save big on heating! Speaking of energy savings, you have a PAID OFF solar system included, which provides the current owners enough energy that they can "bank" some of it for when they need it - there's no lease, so their total electric costs are about $20/mo! You'll save further with the well and septic system, avoiding the costly public water. The filtration system serves well, and the RO system for drinking water is included! Hang in there, the best is still to come...The land! The current owners used to run an apple orchard, having hundreds and sometimes thousands of visitors in a season, and they estimate that 700 apple trees are still producing on the land. All of that space gives you plenty of privacy, and yet you are still so close to all the amenities that Lockport, Homer Glen, and New Lenox have to offer. The 80x60 barn was recently built and is in great condition, with enough room to handle all of your equipment needs, or even to house your own farm/business implements - a side room used to serve as the sales floor, and could be repurposed for any number of uses, including an office. Updates and additional info: Property is zoned Agricultural, solar panels are paid off (no lease!), Barn built in 2014, Homer 33-C schools, well and septic, equipment for farm/apples is available for purchase, epoxy floor in garage 2025.
