What if “home” came with fresh blackberries, backyard chickens, morning coffee on the porch and a wood-burning fireplace?

Welcome to 8309 Lebanon Rd, Troy, IL. 🌿🐓

Over the past few years, this property has been lovingly transformed into a little slice of homestead heaven.

The renovated kitchen is ready for cooking with what you grew outside.

The garden and established blackberry patch have actually produced enough for the owners to sell berries locally. Chickens have room to call the backyard home. Deer and wild turkeys regularly wander through the surrounding landscape. And when winter arrives, there’s a real wood-burning fireplace waiting inside.

You still get the convenience that makes the location work: Troy, Triad schools and easy access to Scott Air Force Base, while coming home to a property that feels decidedly more country.

And yes... the chickens are excellent spokesmodels.

📍 8309 Lebanon Rd | Troy, IL
🏡 OPEN SATURDAY 10-12
💰 $392,000

Come see what homestead living can look like when someone has already put years of love into creating it.
