Property Description

Welcome to Meier Farms - a legacy estate of rare depth and quiet distinction on ~42.66 contiguous acres in McLean, Illinois, across two legally independent parcels, each with direct driveway access. Built by Funk Construction & Woodworking, the main residence was made to last: 36 doorframes, handcrafted solid oak trim, a Galena-inspired brick fireplace, Brazilian walnut floors, travertine stone, and a chef's kitchen with cherrywood cabinetry and granite counters. Three bedrooms and four full baths, plus two main-level office/den spaces that easily convert to bedrooms. The walkout lower level lives as a complete in-law suite - second full kitchen, hand-carved solid wood bar, billiards room, and expansive living space with egress to a pergola-covered stone patio and water garden. Live it as two separate quarters or a single 6-7 bedroom home - ideal for multi-generational and recreational living. A new geothermal HVAC system (2024) delivers efficient year-round comfort. The land is equally exceptional: over 21 acres of income-producing permanent pasture across thoughtfully graded terrain, sustained by a private well drawing from an abundant aquifer. A stocked ~2-acre lake - largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish - conveys with a lakeside cabin, pavilion, and recreational amenities, bordered by a natural creek corridor and a tree-line of fruiting and flowering species. Fully electric-serviced with running water, it's built for entertaining from day to night. Two open-sided steel shelters and a dual-pasture swing gate support rotational grazing or foaling operations. The CROWN JEWEL is an 18,000+ sq ft Shouse built by FBi Buildings - the midwest's premiere post frame builders (180'x100', 2023) - featuring radiant-heated sealed concrete floors, 20' clearance between cold storage and farm shop bays, separate metering, dedicated septic, and accessory quarters for guest, staff, or equine use. Fully independent from the main residence. Bordered by private preservation areas and minutes from Funks Grove Nature Preserve, Historic Route 66, and the extended Constitution Trail. Ideally positioned between Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis with nearly equal drive times, and ~20 minutes south of Bloomington-Normal - home to State Farm, Rivian, ISU, and Illinois Wesleyan. Rural seclusion with immediate access to employment, top-rated schools, and healthcare. Offerings of this caliber are extraordinarily rare. Contact the listing agent for a private showing.
