About this property
2-Acre Retreat on the Fox River with Spectacular Views & Hot Tub!
Experience the ultimate riverfront getaway at this stunning home that sets the standard for luxury and elegance along the Fox River. The interior spans 6,300+ sq. ft. across 3 levels of impeccably designed space and features 7 bedrooms, 6 king-size beds, and 4.5 baths to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests. Set on over 2 acres of wooded grounds, the estate features a long list of luxe amenities including a dock, hot tub, fire pit, 2 kitchens, entertainment room & parking for 10 cars.
THE SPACE
Unforgettable vacations begin with unforgettable homes! Escape to The Retreat on Fox River and enjoy a spacious, comfortable home designed for riverfront living. Set along the banks of the Fox River, the private 2-acre estate has direct access to the water and inside every corner of the residence has been expertly designed to provide guests with a remarkable stay.
Enter the three-story residence on the first floor where the social spaces impress with easy flow between rooms. You`ll love the expansive open floor plan with a light-filled living room graced by huge windows overlooking the Fox River and a stacked-stone two-sided fireplace that welcomes you on cool evenings. The perfectly appointed kitchen is a cook`s dream, with a large island that seats 4 and additional seating for 8 at the eat-in table. Ample counter space, a gas range with pot filler, plus a comprehensive housewares package make cooking a pleasure. The adjacent dining room seats 6 in an elegant, formal setting.
There are 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms conveniently located on this level as well, including the residence’s primary suite with a private balcony overlooking the river. This bedroom includes a king-size bed and gorgeous bath with a soaker tub, double vanity, and impressive walk-in shower with granite bench, 2 rain shower heads and a sprayer.
Head up the grand staircase to the 2nd floor which features 3 king bedrooms. One room is an ensuite and across the catwalk are the other 2 bedrooms that share a full Jack-and-Jill bath. The ground walk-out level is absolutely gorgeous with 12` ceilings, a great room, wet bar, 2nd kitchen, game room, 3-sided stone fireplace, bedrooms 6 & 7, and another full bath.
Ready for outdoor living at its finest? 2 acres of wooded grounds culminate at the edge of Fox River - swim, paddleboard, kayak and more right from the property’s edge! Spend afternoons enjoying river views and BBQs on the back deck. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing, while the spacious back yard offers plenty of space for kids to run, along with a cute kid`s clubhouse where they have their own space to hang out. Enjoy s`mores under the stars at the riverside fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs.
Delicious restaurants, shopping, museums, golfing, fruit picking, and fishing are all offered in the nearby towns and beautiful countryside! The Retreat on Fox River is just 1.5 miles from quaint downtown Yorkville, a place known throughout the region for riverfront festivals, outdoor adventure, an exciting nightlife scene, and home to the largest waterpark in Illinois. Make a splash at Raging Waves with 32 different styles of waterslides, test your skills at Marge Cline Whitewater Course’s quarter mile of rapids, or delve into the dining and pub scene at one of the many establishments located along a picturesque stretch of the Fox River.
