Situated on a quiet, picturesque road just moments from the Kankakee River, the setting is one of serenity, beauty, and understated elegance.

The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. Designed for both grand entertaining and peaceful evenings at home, the resort-inspired grounds feature a stunning inground pool, charming pool house, custom paver patio, gas fire pit, outdoor grilling area, separate storage building, irrigation system, and extensive landscape lighting that transforms the property into a magical retreat after sunset.
