About 378 Contentment Road

Tucked beneath the trees in Midland Hills Country Club, 378 Contentment Rd. offers a peaceful setting that feels like a true Southern Illinois retreat. Midland Hills is a private 300-acre community located along the edge of the Shawnee National Forest, where wooded surroundings, wildlife and lake living are part of everyday life. This home sits just a short walk from the lake and is located in the sought-after Unity Point School District. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath raised ranch offers approximately 2,108 square feet and was designed to bring the outdoors in. Open-beam character, generous living spaces and views of the surrounding trees give the home a warm, relaxed feel. The spacious main-level living room features a wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room provides plenty of space for gathering. Step onto the private back deck and enjoy the quiet of the wooded setting, where watching wildlife can easily become part of your morning routine. The walk-out lower level offers a large family room with a second wood-burning fireplace, creating another cozy space to relax, entertain or spread out. Here, you can enjoy the feeling of being tucked away without giving up convenience. The property is near the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, Southern Illinois University, Makanda and Carbondale, with easy access to everything that makes Southern Illinois such a unique place to call home. And for those traveling from farther away, Southern Illinois is just a short flight from Chicago. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a weekend escape or simply a place with more nature and a little less noise, 378 Contentment Rd. offers a setting that's hard to replicate.
