ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Welcome to Mirror Lake-one of the premier short term vacation rental properties in the Galena and Apple Canyon Lake area that sits on 13 +/- rolling acres with a private 2.5 acre stocked lake and incredible views of the Jo Daviess County countryside. Formerly a Christmas Tree farm, this property has been transformed into the ultimate retreat where up to 12 guests can enjoy peace and privacy just a short drive away from downtown Galena and all that it offers. The crystal clear water of Mirror Lake welcomes you from the second you pull into the driveway and approach this 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with nearly 4,000 square foot of living space. Immediately upon entering the home you will be greeted by an impressive kitchen highlighted by tall vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, black stainless appliances and custom Bader cabinetry made locally right in Scales Mound. Just off the kitchen is a massive great room again with tall vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams and floor to ceiling fire place with a gas insert. Rounding out the main floor is a dining room and breakfast bar with more granite counter tops and custom cabinetry, two bedrooms, and two beautifully updated full bathrooms. An additional bedroom and an open loft area can be found upstairs while the lower level features two more bedrooms, another full bath, an additional family room, as well as tidy utility, laundry and storage spaces. There is no shortage of outdoor space or activities for guests that include a private beach and gazebo right along the lake, a fishing and swimming dock, walking paths around the entire perimeter of the lake and meandering through the remaining Spruce trees, and of course a hot tub just off the lower level walkout. If that is not enough, an 864 square foot cottage sits just across the driveway packed full of games for all ages. Additional buildings on the property include a 3 car detached garage that can be heated, and an approximately 40 X 30 pole shed. The property is being offered turn key and mostly furnished, with major updates completed in 2023 including a new septic system, a new driveway, and a residential solar array to offset electricity costs. Not interested in renting but looking for your own personal property-no problem at all the house is set up and functions equally as well for private use! There are not nearly enough words to encompass all that this property has to offer so give your agent a call and come see firsthand the beauty of Mirror Lake! 13 acres is estimated and exact acreage is TBD by survey. Additional acreage may be available. Square footage is approximate. All required rental licenses are in place with Jo Daviess County.
