About this property

6 bd Country Estate on 28 Acres near Lk Geneva w/ Ponds, Trails

This newly renovated, 7,000 sf Tudor country estate is in Marengo near Woodstock/Harvard and is only 35 minutes from Lake Geneva. It’s an outdoor paradise with lots to do, and the sprawling house with its charming blend of vintage and log cabin decor. It offers 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 10 beds altogether (2 Kings, 4 Queens, 1 full, 1 twin, 1 single Murphy bed and 1 double sofa bed).

It sits on 28 partially wooded acres with 2 aerated ponds. One stocked with fish, 2 kayaks and a 4-seat paddle boat, 15 acres of wooded hiking trails, huge grassy areas for picnics, baseball and other sports, 3 electric bikes and a golf cart.

On the first floor, there is a bedroom with Queen bed and attached full bath for those who don’t like stairs. On the second floor there are 2 huge master bedrooms with balconies and attached bathrooms.

Kids will love the full and twin log cabin beds situated in a 3rd floor loft with its own TV.

The hidden room features a huge bedroom with a king-sized bed. This room has been made into an art studio with a wide assortment of art materials, paper, canvases, etc., for grownups and children, easels, tables and chairs and benches, as well as a sitting area with couch and big screen TV. This room has two balconies. It leads down to the garage, so it offers a private entrance and exit. From the garage you can also access the basement with a large laundry room, a washer and dryer, iron and ironing board and a steam wrinkle remover, along with a microwave oven and sink.

Recreation area features a high ceiling walk out basement with a huge bar, barstools, a large screen TV, a table and chairs, swivel chairs and a sofa couch with a TV projector and 10-foot screen, electric dart board. There are also a full bath and a huge bedroom with mirrored closets and 2 queen beds.

The updated, modern kitchen hosts all large gatherings with 2 ovens, a 6-burner stove, a microwave and a long table that seats 10, as well as a butcher block island that seats three.

Wrap around wooden decks in both the front and back yards lead onto 2 gazebos with dining tables. A third gazebo with a table and four chairs sits next to the big pond several hundred feet from the house, and the basement doors in the huge rec room lead out to a patio with two fire pits beneath a pergola overlooking the small pond. Patio furniture, a BBQ grill, rocking chairs and benches adorn all the decks and patios in the Summer and Fall. A large firepit sits in the 4-acre backyard encircled by 6 Adirondack chairs, end tables and 2 benches. The backyard gazebo has a fireplace, as does the living room and master bedroom. There is also an office with a computer, printer and a large round dining table.
