You've driven by this 21 acre farm so many times catching glimpses of its unusual outbuildings and the lovingly maintained 3 bedroom farmhouse that brings the outdoors into every room. You probably didn't know it has a wonderful sunroom and is shaded by mature trees of all kinds or that there is a unique entertainment area under a raised patio, or that there are 5 of those charming creek rock buildings plus a tractor shed. Land has been pasture and has perfect spot for nice pond. Every home has a story, here???s this one???s... A Country Home Built with a Vision: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful place in the rolling hills of southern Illinois. In 1932, a couple and their sons moved into their new home. The page from the book of house plans for this design says, ???A select,…

roomy, semi-bungalow designed to strictly modern lines...Friends and neighbors will enjoy the hospitality offered by such a home. Moving into a new bungalow must indeed be a great event in the life of a happy family." The drawing shows where they made improvements, changing a front porch into a nice dining room with extra large windows. Other rooms also have unexpected large windows to bring in the country. A porch in the back was changed to a most relaxing sunroom with three-season use. Original casement windows still turn to catch the breezes. This family had vision and liked to try new ideas. You'll find unusual details for this time period--kitchen cabinets with special dividers for baking pans, a built-in scale in the bathroom wall that is still accurate, beautiful molding, a large wall fan that is on a timer and could cool the entire house if needed, and nice built-ins in the living room. The creek rock outbuildings were built by the family with the sons hauling rock and mixing mortar and the father deciding where each would be placed. The garage and large dairy barn catch the eye of every passer-by because of their very unique appearance; but what they don't know is that there are other creek rock buildings. There is also a brooder house, now shed; a machine shop/chicken house; a spacious carport; a unique elevated patio with entertainment space below as well as a pump house along a rock lined creek. But their vision went beyond modern ideas for their home and buildings. Trees and shrubs, including magnolia, pecan, maple, oak, American holly, and pear were planted. Years later another family bought this home and has enjoyed the home and land, and those wonderful shade, fruit, and nut bearing trees, as much as the first. They made their own improvements through the years, and now it's time for it to be someone else's peaceful haven. The land has been a tree lined pasture, and there is a perfect spot for a nice sized pond. This property is two miles from Anna in the scenic Shawnee Wine Trail region, and within 25 miles of both Carbondale and Marion with their educational, employment, entertainment, and shopping opportunities. Come to the country. Imagine the vision from 1932, sit down and say, Ahhh.
