### Agent Description
Framed by sweeping valley vistas, wooded ridges, and the iconic landscapes that define Jo Daviess County, this picture-perfect Galena farmette located on scenic Irish Hollow Road presents a rare opportunity to embrace an extraordinary blend of timeless charm, modern updates, and breathtaking panoramic countryside views. Set on 12.02 acres of beautiful terrain mixing gorgeous open meadow, rolling landscape, elevation and wooded beauty, this inviting 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath farmhouse captures the essence of rural living while remaining just minutes from Downtown Galena, Chestnut Mountain, The Galena Territory and countless recreational opportunities. A winding approach leads to the beautifully maintained home, where freshly painted exterior siding and expansive decking frame stunning views of the surrounding valleys, wooded ridges, and patchwork farmland beyond. Inside, rich original hardwood floors, period trim, solid wood doors, and vintage architectural details create warmth and character throughout. The bright and airy kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, attractive countertops, and classic checkerboard flooring, offering a perfect blend of functionality and farmhouse style. The main level features a welcoming living room highlighted by a freestanding gas stove, a versatile bedroom ideal for guests, office, or library use, formal dining room with patio door access to the freshly painted multi-level deck and hot tub, comfortable family room, and nicely appointed half bath. Upstairs, you'll find additional spacious bedrooms, a full closet offering ample storage that could be easily converted back to another bedroom, and a beautifully updated full bath with tiled shower, all accented by the home's original woodwork and hardwood flooring. Full unfinished basement with walk-up staired access to side door houses laundry space and has lots of room for storage, workshop or hobby. Outdoor living is truly exceptional, with multiple deck spaces designed to soak in the spectacular views and peaceful natural surroundings and enjoy the incredible privacy and nature galore. For those seeking self-sufficiency and energy efficiency, the property also features solar panels, a backup generator, and extensive outdoor space to enjoy. A detached three-stall garage with attached lean-to provides abundant room for vehicles, equipment, workshop space, or hobby farm pursuits. Nature lovers and hunting enthusiasts will appreciate the additional 8.41-acre wooded parcel just across the road offering established trails, varied topography, abundant wildlife habitat, and frequent sightings of deer and turkey. Whether you're searching for a private full-time residence, weekend retreat, hobby farm, hunting property, or simply a place to enjoy the unmatched beauty of Jo Daviess County, this exceptional country estate offers a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Galena-area living.
