About this property

6 bd Country Estate on 28 Acres near Lk Geneva w/ Ponds, Trails, Fenced Dog-park

This newly renovated, 7,000 sf Tudor country estate is in Marengo near Woodstock and 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 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) and 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. Behind the house is a 1 acre, fenced-in dog park/woods. 2 huge master bedrooms on the second floor both have balconies and attached bathrooms which boast Jacuzzis and separate showers. There is a bedroom with a log cabin Queen bed and attached full bath on the main floor for those who don’t like stairs. Another full bath waits in the downstairs recreation area: a high ceiling walk out basement with a huge bar, 9 barstools and 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 and a huge bedroom with mirrored closets and 2 queen beds. Kids will love the full and twin log cabin beds situated in a 3rd floor loft with its own TV. In fact, each bedroom has a TV, as does one of the two 4 car garages (we subscribe to Dog TV) used as an enclosed dog recreation area with 5 dog beds and 2 large kennels, a/c and heat, a dog wash station and a doggie door leading out to an 6 x 12 ft enclosed dog relief area with yet another door leading out to the fenced in dog woods. We close this door at night. The updated, modern kitchen hosts all new appliances: an air fryer, a deep fryer, a bread machine, a blender, 2 toasters, a Breville espresso machine, a pressure cooker, a hot pot, 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. Yet another huge bedroom with a king sized bed on the 2nd floor has been made into an art studio with a wide assortment of art materials, paper, canvases, etc., for grown ups 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. Dogs are welcome so long as they remain in the dog garage, dog woods or outdoor areas. You can leave them for hours at a time in the enclosed dog quarters with access to the 2 acre outdoor dog park.
