About this property

Family retreat! Comfortable Country Farmhouse 2 miles south of town.

Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space. You will feel right at home and enjoy the peacefulness of this country home that’s close to local Food, wine & breweries. This ugly duckling will transform to a beautiful swan as it is rented and renovated. 15 min to the World Shooting Complex and 40 min to DuQuoin Fairgrounds. The movie “In the Heat of the Night “ was filmed on the W.E. Baue farm that this acre of land was a part. The iconic scene of Jess’ Garage was filmed 100 feet away.
The space
Gathering Place. Invite the family for a day of yard games and cookout as you sit around the fire pit at sunset and listen to the frogs croak and watch the lights bugs glow.

Guest access
The master bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, front room and dining room on the first level. The bedroom on the second level.

Hunting Trip
Property was very comfortable. Jackie was very attentive to our needs. It was colder than normal and she provided an extra heater which made the teno in the house warm and cozy. We will definatly be back if we need to stay again in Sparta.

Good place to stay
House was like grandma moved out. Older but clean. Listing did show 2 queen beds in the living room but there were only a couple of standard couches. Not a big deal this time as there were only two of us.

Peaceful and Relaxing
We really enjoyed staying in the farmhouse. It honestly took me back to my childhood staying at my grandparents farmhouse. The house was very clean and cozy and we will return our next trip to Illinois!
