Rustic luxury meets remarkable seclusion at 3975 Somerset Road in Harrisburg. Set on approximately 31 acres of Southern Illinois countryside, this custom-built, three-bedroom, two-bath home brings together distinctive craftsmanship, refined comfort, and the privacy of a rural retreat. A welcoming covered porch, rough-sawn cedar accents, stone detailing, and a standing-seam metal roof create an impressive introduction, inviting you to settle in and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Inside, rich wood finishes capture the warmth and character of an upscale lodge. Wood-clad walls and ceilings, beautifully grained flooring, solid-core knotty pine doors, and substantial pine trim create a cohesive interior with lasting appeal.

The open kitchen pairs handsome wood cabinetry with gleaming countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island with raised seating, making everyday living and entertaining equally comfortable. The primary suite provides a relaxing escape with a walk-in closet and a bath featuring a spacious soaking tub beneath a large window overlooking the trees. An attached garage with loft storage adds practical space, while a dedicated steel safe room offers additional peace of mind. Thoughtful construction includes 2-by-6 exterior walls, low-E clad windows, R-49 attic insulation, and closed-cell foam at the crawl space and rim board.
