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.

Family + Country
The property is a gem. We wished the weather was better so we could enjoy time outside however the briskness of fall had arrived. We were constrained to the inside of the house which is very artistic with an interesting layout. The house was a bit tricky for the amount of guests we had for privacy. There were about 10 of us however two of the bathrooms did not have doors. Although these bathrooms have an extremely beautiful views, the missing doors were an issue. The only other problem were all the rugs. We have some seniors in our group and the shag rugs were causing some tripping. We placed some of the rugs on the side while we had our stay. Not a big deal. The only other issue or improvement we had were last minute instructions on what to do with our laundry and dishes etc..I wished she had left those "to do" on the instructions for the house upon arrival instead of given the morning of departure. Luckily we already accomplished those tasks so it was not an issue for timing. Even with these minor troubles, we had an enjoyable time in this home. It is on a magnificent piece of property. We have memories and stories that will last a lifetime and for that, we are extremely grateful.

Great for a large group!
Excellently stocked kitchen, the best by far in any rental we've stayed to date! We are a large group of friends who get together once a year to hang out, cook, and craft together, so this house was extremely well-suited to us. Lovely grounds, spacious bedrooms, and very communicative host! I recommend this location to any large group. As a note, the house is very open-concept and sound travels easily from bottom to top - just a note in case travelling with sensitive sleepers!

Great House for Big Group
We had a group of 14 and loved the house and property. It was bigger than we imagined and filled with wonderful touches. Great kitchen, grill and outdoor spaces. We were so happy that did not leave for the entire 3 days of our booking.

Family Reunion
We had a wonderful time staying on this property. The house provided us with many activities to do, from driving the golf cart, hiking on the trails, riding the electrical bike, kayaking, paddle boating and even fishing! The lay out of the house is very open, which great for gathering but harder for sleeping since the noise carries over. It was easy to communicate with Marcie and she was readily available to answers all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Property for a Fun Weekend
The property had an excellent space for yard games and spending time outside whether in the gazebo, on the large porch, or in the yard. The large house allowed my group to all spend time either in the kitchen/dining room or various living rooms on each floor.
