About 49w693 Hinckley Road

Some properties are about the house. This one is about the life you get to build around it. Set back down a maple lined driveway, this nine-acre property along Big Rock Creek offers something increasingly hard to find near Chicago's western suburbs: real privacy, real land, and real space to work with your hands. Over 50 mature oak trees frame a park like setting, and more than 300 feet of creek frontage runs through the property. There's an orchard and small pasture for anyone thinking about a big garden, or just room to spread out. The home itself was fully remodeled in 2025, so none of the big-ticket items are waiting for you. Three new furnaces and central air units, power blinds throughout, a fully remodeled master bath with a walk-in shower and walk in closets, a new living room fireplace, refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint on walls and trim, and a new washer and dryer. Move-in ready doesn't begin to cover it. Then there's the outbuilding, and it's the reason this property will make sense to a very specific kind of buyer. At 6,000 square feet, heated, and built from steel and masonry, it's not a pole barn. Three 14' by 14' overhead doors with 26' center height mean motorhomes, utility trailers, and heavy equipment can pass straight through. There's a built-in air compressor piped throughout the shop, tongue and groove pine floor to ceiling storage cabinets, and a tongue and groove pine loft that's ready to become a game room or workout space. Two separate glass display rooms with their own forced air heat are made for showing off cars the way they deserve to be shown. A full woodworking shop comes with workbenches, cabinets, a chop saw, and a drill press. There's a bathroom, a kitchenette with a refrigerator, an attached open-air secondary storage area, and a self-contained exterior tool shed for anything that doesn't fit anywhere else. This is a property for the person who's done commuting into an office and is ready to work from home for real, with acreage as the backdrop and a shop big enough to store the RV, restore the classic car, run the side business, or just finally have a place for every tool they own. It's not a fit for everyone. For the right buyer, it's exactly what they've been looking for and haven't been able to find!!!
