Historic Masterpiece in the Heart of Trout Valley Step into a one-of-a-kind property where heritage meets modern luxury. Nestled in the storied community of Trout Valley, this extraordinary estate blends timeless charm with purposeful design-perfect for living, working, and creating. Originally built in the 1890s, this mixed-use zoned property has been meticulously restored and reimagined over the past decade into a breathtaking modern farmhouse retreat. The 2,500 sq. ft. main residence, completed in 2020, was crafted with intention and quality-2x6 construction, high-efficiency mechanicals, spray foam insulation, and thoughtful finishes throughout. Featuring 4" white oak hardwood floors, quartz countertops, a first-floor primary suite with ensuite, and two additional bedrooms with 1.5 more baths, this beautifully landscaped home blends warmth with elegant function. Attached is a massive 1,300 sq. ft. 4-car garage and oversized driveway/lot with room for 12+ vehicles, ideal for entertaining, events, or business use. Also included: * Renovated 2,200 sq. ft. "Pony Barn", now a light-filled studio/showroom-perfect for a home business, workshop, gallery, or playroom. * A fully renovated 600 sq. ft. 1 bed / 1 bath Quonset Hut guest house, 5 Star Rated currently generating seasoned short- and mid-term rental income. The property sits on land once owned by John Hertz (Hertz Car Rental) and later Otto Schnering (Curtiss Candy Company)-the legacy of equestrian prestige and agricultural innovation lives on. Rumored to have housed prize ponies, triple crown thoroughbreds and bulls, this land is steeped in fascinating local lore. Enjoy access to Trout Valley's unique amenities: * Historic horse barn and swimming pool * Private Fox River beach, clubhouse and boat access * Trails, trout ponds, parks, and equestrian paths * Golf cart-friendly roads and a true small-town spirit Whether you're seeking a personal haven, creative business base, or multi-use investment opportunity, 204 Country Commons is a rare and remarkable offering. Come experience the story for yourself-this home is more than just a property, it's a legacy in the making.
