Formerly known as Farmington Grove Church, this gorgeous historic building can be yours! With beautiful stained glass windows, and the original church bell dating back to approx 1865, along with numerous updates including a new roof in 2019, a brand new kitchen in 2020, living space with 2 potential bedrooms or office space in the basement, and open main floor, the possibilities are endless! The space is currently set up as event space with capacity for 40-50, though it could be modified into one of a kind living space, or taken back to it's roots as a country church and community gathering space. Ample parking, outdoor space for events or private living, modern amenities including all new appliances, fresh paint, new wiring and plumbing installed. Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site is less than 1 mi away, and Historic Moore Home is right across the road. Don't miss your chance to check out this one of kind property and own a piece of Coles County History!
