Property description

All-brick 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 2,087 sq. ft. of living space, built in 1978 and lovingly maintained for over 30 years. Located just a short, easy commute to Springfield on a paved farm road, this property offers the perfect blend of country living and city convenience.

Set on 10 beautiful acres (with the option to purchase the house with 5 acres to suit the buyer’s needs), the land is fully fenced with a mix of maintained pasture and natural areas, offering open grazing space and native growth along the fence line. A dry creek bed runs through the back 5 acres, attracting abundant wildlife and adding natural beauty to the landscape.

The home is all electric, featuring laminate wood flooring throughout, a spacious 20×20 sunroom, and a cozy new gas log fireplace installed in November 2023 by Machino’s. A brand-new metal roof was added in fall 2024. The back deck has been freshly power-washed, stained, and with a new privacy fence for outdoor enjoyment.

Outbuildings include a storage shed and a large pole barn with four horse stalls and an enclosed hay room on the east side, plus an enclosed section on the west side ideal for tractors, mowers, or workshop space.

This quiet, rural neighborhood is part of a friendly community—perfect for raising a family or enjoying a peaceful retirement. The nearby town of Willard offers a highly rated school district and all the small-town amenities you need.

Buyer's agent commission 3%. If you represent a buyer with serious interest, I welcome a clear offer with proof of funds or pre-approval. Please do not ask me to sign a full listing agreement — I’ve committed to managing the sale independently. This property has been valued using a cost-based approach, which separates: House value, based on quality and comparable $/SF Land value, based on recent acreage sales This is a common appraisal method when no truly like-kind comps are available — especially in rural settings with mixed-use land and improved structures. Unlike blended PPSF methods, this allows the full market value of the acreage to be recognized. The Price-Per-Square-Foot approach discounts the primary land, which I do not accept as valid. All acreage — including the homesite — has value and is treated as such in my pricing.

Home Features

What we love about this home. This home has been the heart of our family for many years. It's where we raised our daughter, celebrated birthdays, holidays, and milestones—and built a life surrounded by nature, good neighbors, and the quiet beauty of the countryside. We’ve had horses here, a sweet old donkey, and more than a few pets who loved the open space as much as we did.
One of our favorite things has always been watching the wildlife right from the windows—deer, foxes, and birds coming right up to the house. My husband loved photographing them, and there was never a shortage of moments to capture. The peaceful setting makes you feel like you're in the country, but with the convenience of being just outside Springfield.
We’ve truly loved being part of the Willard community. It’s a small town with a big heart—great schools, friendly people, and a sense of connection that’s hard to find these days. Our daughter went to school here, and we’ve always felt it was the perfect place to raise a family.
This home isn’t just a piece of property—it’s been a place of deep joy, laughter, and love. It’s private and quiet, but never isolated. It’s where we watched sunrises with coffee, and stars with a blanket. It holds so many stories, and we hope the next family will find as much happiness here as we have.
