Eagles Crossing is a Newly Renovated 3-Bed Farmhouse with a Large Deck & Hot Tub

THE FARMHOUSE
Eagles Crossing, located in Anna, IL, was the original farmhouse in the Hickory Lake subdivision. Its name, Eagles Crossing, comes from the two eagles that patrol the two properties to the South and North of the house. E.C. is perfectly located just 1 mile East of Anna on 7 acres of land. You are a 10-minute drive to the Shawnee Wine Trail, a 15-minute drive to Fern Cliff, a 45-minute drive to The Garden of the Gods, and a 20-minute drive to SIU's campus.

Eagles Crossing was built in 1910 but, in 2025, we did a head-to-toe renovation. This is the 5th home that Misty Mae Designs has helped us renovate. The house, a mid-century hunting lodge, greets you with the main living area that boasts 14-foot vaulted ceilings and two massive live edge slab doors that my dad made from a local lumber company. This design makes this 1800 square foot home feel like it is twice as big as you also have a 75-inch flat screen mounted over a fireplace, large island bar, and stainless-steel appliances.

The "Tree House Master" bedroom was named because of the way the king size bed sits just below the four large windows that overlook the 7 acres of land. The "Back Bedroom" also has a view over the property and has two twin beds that we can make into another king size bed, if you prefer. The "Front Bedroom" has a queen size bed and faces the front yard. All the bedrooms have memory foam cool gel mattresses

The "Master Bathroom" has a stand-up tile shower and the "Main Bathroom" located off the main living area near the two bedrooms has a full bathtub/shower. In addition to the bathrooms, the "Mud Room" is fully loaded with supplies, extra towels, and full-size washer and dryer. We also added a 300 square foot deck to the back of the house with a 6-person sunk-in hot tub, massive gas grill, and seating for six.
