Introducing the one you’ve been waiting for—the historic Star Prairie Trout Farm, now available and ready for its next chapter. Set on an incredible stretch of the Apple River with approximately 1,000+ feet of frontage, this truly one of a kind property offers unmatched natural beauty and endless potential. Whether you’re dreaming of a private retreat, hobby farm, or something entirely unique, the opportunity here is rare.
The property is currently zoned Conservancy and Agricultural, with the ability to rebuild on the existing footprint, allowing a future owner to create a stunning riverside residence in an unforgettable setting. The existing two story home features 3 bedrooms with the potential for a fourth, and while it requires a full remodel, the bones and location offer an exceptional canvas. Imagine waking up to river views from every bedroom and enjoying peaceful mornings on the screened in porch overlooking the water. In addition to the main home, the property includes a guest home with 1 bedroom and full living quarters, perfect for extended family, guests, or additional income potential. The outbuildings are just as impressive, with a total of five detached garage stalls providing ample storage for vehicles, equipment, or recreational toys. A dedicated workshop adds even more functionality, while one heated outbuilding still houses a commercial freezer, smoker, plumbing, and commercial sinks, opening the door to a variety of creative or business uses. Properties like this don’t come around often. With its rich history, breathtaking river frontage, and limitless possibilities, the Star Prairie Trout Farm is truly something you have to see to believe.
