The home sits high on a 2.5 acre lot ensuring privacy and peaceful quiet, with stunning views of the gorgeous Galena "Driftless" countryside.

The formal, main entrance is protected by a covered porch (with 2 Adirondack chairs, a perfect location to watch for the large family of wild turkeys that call our road home) and features massive, thick double wood doors and a stone foyer with large closet.
