16 Farmstead Dr, Galena, IL 61036

Welcome to this exceptional end-unit 3-bedroom Farmstead in The Galena Territory—offering a rare opportunity to step into a fully furnished, thoughtfully updated, and truly turnkey property with an active guest accommodations license. This home has recently undergone an extensive refresh, with attention to detail in every corner. The current owner has gone all in—replacing all bedding, mattresses, and protectors, removing popcorn ceilings, painting the entire unit, and updating furnishings throughout with new couches, chairs, and TVs. Every space has been carefully curated to enhance both comfort and guest experience. Designed with today’s traveler in mind, this property is set up as a family-friendly rental, complete with high chairs, gates, and thoughtful touches that make hosting effortless. From smart thermostats and new curtains to alarm clocks and sound machines, no detail has been overlooked—creating a stay that guests remember and return to. The spacious deck offers a peaceful outdoor escape, perfect for enjoying the surrounding nature, while two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and charm inside. Even better—this is not just a property, it’s a fully operational system. The seller is exiting the rental space entirely, making this a seamless transition for the next owner. The VRBO account can be transferred, complete with multiple reservations already booked through the summer—offering immediate income potential from day one. Located within the Eagle Ridge Townhouse Association (ERTA), the monthly fee of $375 covers exterior maintenance including siding, roof, decks, chimneys, grounds, snow removal, parking, and trash—allowing for low-maintenance ownership. The Galena Territory Association ($1,404 annually) provides access to top-tier amenities including a clubhouse, indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball and basketball courts, trails, and more. Just minutes from historic Galena, and surrounded by four golf courses, a fishing lake, Shenandoah Riding Center, and endless recreation, this property offers the perfect balance of relaxation and activity. Whether you’re looking for a personal retreat, an investment property, or both—this is a rare opportunity to own a fully dialed-in, income-producing home in one of the area’s most desirable communities.
