725 Skyline Drive , Cobden, IL 62920(Union County)

Here is your secret hideaway in the middle of a Midwest paradise! From the roadside, you will see a welcoming home that is inviting, attractive, and cozy. Proceeding to the back of the house you will have to pick your jaw up off the ground when you get a vision of the absolutely magazine-worthy view. Watch the glory of the four seasons from the comfort of your spacious deck! Southern Illinois is one of the Midwest's most prized gems. There are tons of trails, rock climbing and bouldering opportunities, eclectic dining options, local artisans, tons of festivals, public hunting, fishing, kayaking galore, and live music that overlaps with the Nashville industry, just to name a few. Take in a D1 college game or seek out the other trails that are not just hiking trails! There's the very popular Shawnee Hills Wine Trail (the home is located right on the trail). There's also a beer trail, a pottery trail, a Christmas barn trail, and more. Plenty of historic landmarks like Bald Knob Cross and two 150 year old orchards provide the community with the freshest produce and farmstand.

The 3,500 square foot home was built in 2009 with smart renovations, including a new shingled roof in 2019. The renovations were completed in 2020 and provided an open concept creating the ideal gathering space for hosting friends and family and showcasing your pictureque location. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless appliances, crafted wood cabinets, and a built-in wine refrigerator in the island. Also on the main floor are two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. The master wing of the home provides a spacious master suite retreat and en suite with its own deck access and breathtaking view. The back of the house boasts the ideal view and access either from the open kitchen space or the master suite. Both have a 16'x20' deck that is joined with a 5'x20' walkway that bridges the two together.

The lower floor is waiting for your entertaining evenings or simply an ideal relaxing space. There's also an extra room that could be a fourth bedroom or home office. Walk out from this level to the backyard and start enjoying the forest. This view and location on the picturesque Skyline Drive is highly sought after and won't last long!
