6475 Olive Branch Road

Overview

Welcome to Olive Branch Farm, a storybook setting with a charming fully furnished farmhouse, historic barn, inground pool and beautifully curated gardens on a peaceful, private 61+ acres. The cozy farmhouse has a beautifully updated eat-in kitchen overlooking the rolling farm fields and woods. The large dining area is great for entertaining and leads to a comfortable living area with a cozy wood stove. Step out to the screen porch to listen to the birdsong! Upstairs the generous primary suite has a private balcony overlooking the land, and 3 more bedrooms. The historic barn evokes a time gone by, with its tool bench, hay loft and plenty of space for tools, toys or hobbies. Out back is the sparkling private pool surrounded by picturesque gardens. The adjacent bunk house is great overflow space for lounging and extra guests. This is an extraordinary property that is just minutes from Harbor Country, about an hour from Chicago and feels like a world away from it all!

What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

1. 01

   Check the township zoning and whether the parcel is split-eligible

2. 02

   Confirm the township allows the intended number of animals

3. 03

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

4. 04

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
