About this home

Bring the horses, bring your hobbies, and bring your country-living dreams! This charming 5-acre farmhouse in Milford, IL, is packed with personality, practical updates, and room to make your own. Nestled among mature trees on three sides, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,912 square feet of comfortable living space. You'll love the remodeled kitchen, cozy stone-surround gas fireplace, and classic farmhouse character. Even better? The big-ticket updates have already been addressed, including a new roof, windows, furnace, A/C, water heater, and reverse osmosis system! But the real adventure begins outdoors! There's a 28x40 horse barn with stalls and attached 20x30 office/tack room, a former corn crib with updated metal siding and roof plus an attached cattle barn, and a 30x40 metal pole barn with office. Add fenced pasture with electric fencing, and you've got space for animals, equipment, projects, and plenty of possibilities. From peaceful mornings beneath the trees to evenings enjoying wide-open country views, this property offers the rural lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Five acres, three outbuildings, and one incredible opportunity. Come see it for yourself!
