What makes this property unique
Our house is one of only 4 houses to be this close to the Fox river. This special place creates many great moments and memories. Every moment my family spends at the river house is a moment of true magic. At our place you are surrounded by nature and you feel in harmony with life. The river flow down stream and somehow takes all the negative buildup down with it. To us this place is special and we believe that the right thing to do is share it so many others feel it’s magic.
