Wooded rural country estate near Lake Shelbyville and Illinois Amish country | House in Mattoon
3 Bedroom House in Mattoon
I want everyone to be able to enjoy the serenity and peace this property offers. On Monday-April 13, 2020-at the pond nearest the house, I sat and watched a Loon, 6 Mallard Ducks and a mother and father swan with 5 young ones. The evening before, there were 6 or 7 deer grazing in the yard and field by the barn. It might not be everyone's idea of heaven on earth, but it's mine.
Surrounded by amber fields in the summer and fall and over 1,000 acres of wooded lands, our 30 acre country property is located far enough away from population that you won’t hear any of the traffic noise that goes with a typical city, other than the sound of the train whistle from the tracks about 3 miles away. Nestled almost exactly in between the city of Arthur, the hub of Illinois Amish Country; Lake Shelbyville, a fisherman’s and boaters paradise; the city of Charleston, home of Eastern Illinois University and Lincoln Log Cabin; and the city of Mattoon, home of Lakeland College, you're less than a 30 minute drive in any direction to a host of family friendly activities in small town surroundings.
Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen (including most typical condiments, herbs, spices and pantry items), two enclosed sun porches, and the lower level game room that includes a pool table and foosball table. The house was built in the early 1940’s single handed by a New York Central railroad engineer. Although the house electrical and plumbing mechanics have been updated to modern standards, and additions have been added, you can still see his meticulous craftsmanship throughout the house particularly in the solid oak floors and thick hickory planking used for the interior walls.
With a blanket of stars against a coal black sky on many nights, this rural country estate offers all the comforts of your own home, along with the peace and quiet of a wooded remote country setting.
Complimentary fresh baked bread from the farm kitchen greets each rental guest.
