Ever dreamed of a quiet life in the country while knowing reality required you to live in the city? Today, with the development of sustainable communities like Serosun Farms, you don’t have to make a choice.
Serosun Farms is located south of Huntley, near the towns of Hampshire and Burlington in Kane County—not far from Interstate 90 and the intersections of Routes 20 and 72.
“People like the idea of living in the country or the idea of being on a farm. But unless you farm as a profession, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the property and a working life elsewhere,” explains John DeWald, the developer behind Serosun Farms. “At Serosun Farms, you can live your life and enjoy the land to the level you want to engage—whether it’s farming or equestrian
activities.”
Serosun Farms blends peaceful, pastoral living with modern convenience. Centered around a working farm, it’s a progressive rural oasis that provides refuge from the city without sacrificing its comforts. Residents enjoy hundreds of acres of open space with restored prairie and woodlands while staying connected through the latest technology and being pampered by a wide range of amenities.
Those who choose to build at Serosun Farms will enjoy high-performance, custom homes with superior craftsmanship using the latest technology and green building practices. Lots consist of approximately one acre of land, and every home is personalized to perfection. Whether you envision a country cottage, a traditional farmhouse, or a sprawling estate, Serosun Farm’s award-winning development team will incorporate your life and style into your property.
Homeowners are intimately involved in the design and building of their homes. “I have this vision that people will drive through Serosun Farms to see the beauty and varied architecture of our homes,” says DeWald, whose team includes two award-winning architects.
Serosun Farms aims to “create a vibrant community that celebrates the beauty, natural elements, farming culture, and history of the site,” says DeWald. One of the most sustainable communities in the nation and the first of its kind in Illinois, Serosun Farms is setting the standard for new ruralism by preserving the countryside.
A 160-acre working organic farm will supply an on-site farmers market featuring fresh produce, flowers, farm-raised meat, and a variety of specialty items. Three hundred acres of open countryside with eight miles of trails provide a stunning backdrop for recreational activities along with sports facilities, an equestrian center, fishing ponds, a playground and a community center with a swimming pool, a game room, and event facilities. A variety of fine dining, entertainment, and shopping venues are minutes away in nearby St. Charles and Geneva, and Interstate 90 gives convenient access to everything Chicago has to offer.
“Whether you’re looking to raise your family on a farm or you’d like a weekend getaway from your city life, Serosun Farms has something to offer everyone,” says DeWald.
