Welcome to your own private slice of country living at 4734 Drda Lane in Edwardsville—stunning property situated on 5 pristine acres where space, scenery, and convenience all meet. Tucked just minutes from it all (approx. 6 minutes to both downtown Edwardsville and interstate access), this property delivers the rare blend of country living with city amenities right at your fingertips. The acreage is well-suited for outdoor enjoyment. The outdoor living space includes a newer composite deck and a fenced yard — perfectly positioned for sunset evenings around the pool, with a view of the pasture and wide-open landscape. Equestrian-ready, the property includes a barn with a run-in shed for the horses and ample storage, an all-weather dry lot paddock with geotextile fabric under lime, a large, flat fenced grass pasture with a private pond and wood dock, and a lean-to for covered trailer parking or equipment storage. A chicken coop and covered run, a garden area, and multiple outdoor storage options support the self-sufficient lifestyle this land offers. Inside, the home offers a spacious, inviting layout highlighted by a large eat-in kitchen featuring solid wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, a generous pantry, and an adjoining breakfast area. Main level bathrooms were updated in 2024. Fresh paint, updated lighting and fixtures, brand-new carpeting, Anderson windows, and faux wood blinds bring a clean, updated feel throughout. The oversized 2-car attached garage includes storage cabinetry, a refrigerator, and attic access for added convenience. The finished lower level expands your living space with a recreation room, a 3/4 bath with ceramic tile, and a versatile bonus room, with built in shelving and a large walk in closet - ideal for a non conforming bedroom, office, or flex space. A cozy fireplace with electric logs and additional storage complete the lower level. Additional highlights include a tankless water heater, a radon mitigation system, and a well-maintained/regularly serviced aeration system. What truly sets this property apart is a combination of the useable acreage, functional improvements, and rare proximity to the city - offering a lifestyle that feels private and rural without sacrificing convenience. A one-of-a-kind Edwardsville retreat, ready to be lived in, loved, and fully enjoyed.
