About this home

Introducing one of Ottawa's most distinguished and storied residences-"Valley View," located at 2011 Caton Road. Nestled on 4+ private acres atop the North Bluff, this extraordinary estate blends rich American history with modern luxury, all within close proximity to Ottawa's charming and vibrant downtown. Located just 90 minutes southwest of Chicago, Ottawa sits at the scenic confluence of the Illinois and Fox Rivers, serving as the gateway to Starved Rock Country-a region renowned for natural beauty and outdoor adventure. Originally constructed in 1842, prior to the Civil War, for T. Lyle Dickey-a prominent attorney and eventual friend of Abraham Lincoln-the home holds remarkable historical significance. According to Dickey's descendants, Lincoln himself visited Valley View on multiple occasions. Today, subtle nods to this legacy remain, including curated historical photographs and preserved architectural details throughout the sprawling 5,500 square foot, 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom
