Mclean, IL 61754 3076 N 400 East Road

Welcome to Meier Farms - a legacy estate of rare depth and quiet distinction, set on ~42.66 contiguous acres in McLean, Illinois across two legally independent parcels, each with direct driveway access. Built brick by brick by Funk Construction & Woodworking, the main residence was made to last. Thirty-six-inch doorframes, handcrafted solid oak trim, a soaring Galena-inspired brick fireplace, Brazilian walnut hardwood floors, travertine stone, and a chef's kitchen appointed with cherrywood cabinetry and granite countertops. The main level offers three bedrooms and four full baths (renovated guest bath, 2025), plus two generously sized office/dens - each fully bedroom-ready - that flex effortlessly into two additional bedrooms, bringing the home to five (5) bedrooms with additional room to grow. A brand-new geothermal HVAC system (2024) delivers efficient, year-round heating and cooling. The walkout lower level lives as a complete in-law suite: a second full kitchen, hand-carved solid wood bar, billiards room, and expansive recreation and living space, with direct egress to a pergola-covered stone patio and water garden - sheltered beneath the main level's expansive covered porch with beadboard ceiling and stone column base, and accessible directly from the kitchen and living areas. Configured this way, the residence offers as many as six private sleeping quarters across both levels. The land is equally exceptional. Over 21 acres of income-producing permanent pasture unfold across thoughtfully graded terrain in McLean County - home to some of the most fertile soil on earth - sustained by a private well drawing from an abundant aquifer below. A stocked ~2-acre lake - home to largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and chorus frogs - conveys with lakeside amenities and anchors a landscape bordered by a natural creek corridor and a purposeful tree-line of fruiting and flowering species, together forming a self-sustaining ecosystem of rare quality. Two open-sided steel shelters and a dual-pasture swing gate offer immediate functionality for rotational grazing, foaling, or birthing operations. THE CROWN JEWEL of the operational infrastructure is an over 18,000 sq ft shed building by FBi Buildings (180'x100', 2023) - engineered for serious capacity and large-format use, with radiant-heated, primed and sealed concrete floors throughout, 20' ingress/egress clearance between cold storage and farm shop bays, separate metering, dedicated septic, and accessory quarters thoughtfully appointed for guest, staff, or equine use. Fully sufficient and independent from the main residence, it is a cornerstone. Bordered by private preservation areas and minutes from Funks Grove Nature Preserve, Historic Route 66, and the newly extended Constitution Trail - now connecting Bloomington to St. Louis directly through McLean. Ideally positioned between Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis with nearly equal drive times. Approximately 20 minutes south of Bloomington-Normal, home to State Farm, Rivian, Illinois State University, and Illinois Wesleyan University - rural seclusion with immediate access to major employment, top-rated schools and universities, healthcare, and infrastructure. Offerings of this caliber are extraordinarily rare. Contact the listing agent for a private showing.
