About the host
Hosted by Bruce Johnson
We purchased this property in 2014 and have fully rebuilt & renovated this original 1890's farmhouse. The Quonset was placed in the 1950's and we fully renovated it in 2017. We lived in the Quonset hut during the renovation of the main home until this past year.
Why they chose this property
When you drive into Trout Valley, you will feel like you have escaped to paradise. Unlike any community in the area you will experience rolling equestrian countryside. Trout ponds and streams, Tom Saywer pond, hiking trails and private roads that ramble down to the former Polo field and Fox River front park
What makes this property unique
Trout Valley was the home of John Hertz (Hertz Car Rental Founder) back in the 1920's.
This area was his private estate until 1950. At that time the Otto Scherring family(Curtis Candy Founder) purchased this estate and made it the home of his private farm used for growing livestock & produce they used for his candy making. In the 1960's Scherring sold the property to a developer who built out the remaining homes that you will find in the Valley. We love calling Trout Valley our home.
