Timeless Farmhouse On Sprawling Estate With Stunning Views

SMOKE HILL FARM IS PERCHED ON THIRTY-EIGHT POINT FIVE ACRES OF THE SOUTHERN SLOPES OF THE VALPARAISO MORAINE, featuring hilly terrain and diverse habitats, on elevations of seven hundred to eight hundred feet above sea level. This restored 1920s farmhouse blends historic character with modern comfort updates. The residence spans approximately two thousand finished square feet and includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, highlighted by a spacious main-floor primary ensuite with walk-in closet. The updated kitchen with skylights, granite countertops, center island, pantry and stainless steel appliances! An adjacent three seasons room with a gas wood stove offers a cozy retreat, while authentic charm radiates from the classic wrap-around front porch and covered rear porch. Peace of mind is ensured by Anderson windows, interior painted in twenty twenty-six, a new furnace and central air system installed in twenty twenty-two and an asphalt and brick driveway. The estate’s infrastructure is equally impressive, featuring a three-car detached garage and a sixty by one hundred pole barn set up for immediate use as a small equestrian barn with three horse stalls, an indoor riding arena, outside paddock, and a dedicated well separate from the house. Approximately nine acres of the property remain in hay production, and a third outbuilding provides excellent storage or the potential for a chicken coop. The land itself is a natural moraine masterpiece defined by rolling hills and a lush canopy of mature oak, maple, beech, and walnut trees. Walking and riding paths meander through the acreage, which also features a site perfectly suited for the future creation of a pond. With two driveway permits providing access from both Division (approximately one thousand four hundred eighty feet frontage) and Smoke Road (approximately one thousand one hundred feet frontage), this secluded sanctuary offers unparalleled privacy and elevation while remaining just five minutes from the amenities of downtown Valparaiso and only an hour from the heart of Chicago.
