About this home

Welcome to "The Orchard House", where timeless elegance meets the natural beauty of the Driftless Region in this extraordinary and meticulously restored Galena country estate nestled on 24.84 breathtaking acres just minutes from historic downtown Galena. Rich in history and overflowing with character, this quintessential Galena farmette blends the romance and craftsmanship of a bygone era with the comfort, updates, and lifestyle amenities sought today. Surrounded by rolling countryside, manicured open meadows, mature trees, private wooded trails, streamside picnic areas, flowering landscape, and panoramic ridge views, the property offers a setting that feels both cinematic and deeply peaceful. Originally part of a historic fruit farm spanning many acres, the stately Italianate farmhouse stands proudly as a lasting tribute to Galena’s storied past. From the moment you arrive, the winding drive, lush grounds, and ornate architectural details create an unforgettable first impression. Multiple revitalized porches and balconies invite quiet mornings with coffee, evenings under the stars, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside in every season. Inside, the home exudes warmth, charm, and sophistication with beautifully preserved historic details, soaring windows, rich hardwood floors, intricate millwork, and light-filled living spaces throughout. The spacious country kitchen is designed for gathering and entertaining with adjoining butler’s pantry and prep area, while formal dining and parlor spaces offer timeless elegance accented by a decorative fireplace, built-ins, and period character. A light and bright living room with access to cozy fenced yard space and paver sitting area, and inviting screened porch beautifully blur the line between indoors and out. The upper level features spacious bedrooms filled with natural light, one of which features private balcony access and another with balcony access just off the hall, both balconies overlooking the pristine acreage, wooded ridgelines, and rolling hills beyond. Extensive recent improvements include interior paint (2022), exterior paint (2023), upgraded living room windows and doors (2022), remaining first floor window upgrades (2023), new living room flooring (2025), updated main level bath flooring (2023), redesigned front walkway (2025), improved parking and side walkway (2023), new water softener (2022), and more. High-speed fiber internet access provides modern convenience while preserving the tranquility of country living. Beyond the home, the acreage unfolds into a truly magical landscape featuring private trails winding through forest and meadow, peaceful streamside retreat areas ideal for campfires and gatherings, a large historic barn, metal pole shed with overhead door, charming rustic shed building with two distinct sides, mostly new windows, and a partial loft all sitting ready for creative repurposing, and abundant room for recreation, hobbies, events, gardening, or simply enjoying the incredible beauty surrounding you. Just a few miles outside of Galena, and located near Chestnut Mountain, The Goldmoor Inn, and within easy reach of Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa and The Galena Territory, this one-of-a-kind estate offers an unmatched opportunity to own a piece of Galena history while embracing a refined and restorative country lifestyle in a location that cannot be beat!...
