    For Sale by Owner | 4140 Fort Daniel Rd, Decatur, IL Looking for a little peace and quiet? This 2.5-acre farmette in the Long Creek area has been a wonderful place for our family to call home. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow is in the Mt. Zion school district and has so much to enjoy inside and out. The spacious 24 × 24 sunroom is one of our favorite spots. It can be fully opened to let in the breeze while the screens keep the bugs out, and it has a gas heater for cooler evenings. There’s also a large back deck that’s perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Outside, you’ll find a beautiful creek, open space to explore, a mature pear tree, and an enormous oak tree that’s estimated to be over 200 years old. The property also has fenced horse pastures, stalls, a chicken coop, and several outbuildings. We’ve loved living here and would happily stay, but a job opportunity is taking our family to another state. Weekend showings are available by appointment. To set up a time or ask questions, contact Natalie Heise at 217-412-7910. Please note: The sale of this home is contingent upon us finding and securing our next home in Iowa.
