498 Gleanings Drive

Set on 1.44 private, wooded acres in The Gleanings one of McHenry's most quietly coveted enclaves 498 Gleanings Drive is a substantial log-sided mountain residence offering 4,070 finished square feet across three living levels, with an additional 900 square feet of unfinished lower-level space held in reserve. The home pairs scale with seclusion in a way the current Deep Creek market rarely delivers. Four bedrooms and four and one-half baths accommodate large gatherings without compromise; an expansive deck and screened porch extend the living space into the tree canopy; and a detached two-car garage an increasingly rare commodity in this subdivision adds practical value that directly distinguishes the property from its closest competition. What truly sets this home apart is the depth and quality of investment made by the current owner. Since acquisition, virtually every major system has been replaced or upgraded: new roof (2020), new hot water heater, HVAC with full re-ducting on main and second floors, and mini splits on the ground floor (all 2021). The exterior was professionally stained, the interior repainted, and a new dishwasher and kitchen appliances added (20222023). A French drain and professional-grade dehumidifier protect the lower level. The deck was reinforced and wired to support the hot tub. Both bathrooms were fully renovated with new flooring in 2025. A new, enlarged septic tank and drain field were installed in 2025, and a top-of-the-line water treatment system was added in 2026. The result is a move-in ready mountain retreat with the bones of a classic Deep Creek lodge and the infrastructure of a brand-new home. Offered fully furnished simply arrive and enjoy.
