If you are looking for that perfect property to build your dream home on, this might be the one you have been waiting for. There are a few tremendous possible building locations with the opportunity to overlook Indian Creek. East County Road 1325 is a dead-end road, so it will also offer you a lot of privacy, and you will not have traffic driving by all day. There is currently a 16x40 portable building on the property that the current owner uses as a hunting cabin and weekend getaway. There is also an old basement foundation that somebody could build on. Rural water and electricity run to the property. The electricity would need to be hooked back up, as the current owner uses a small generator when he is there to run the cabin. There is also an old septic system and a propane tank that the seller does not own. A smaller, portable building sits off the cabin's edge, which the owner uses as a bathhouse. An older lean-to is also located on the property and would be suitable for storing equipment or hunting gear, such as tree stands and blinds.
Most of the property comprises thick creek bottoms and rolling hardwoods. Everything on both sides of Indian Creek is very dense and provides excellent bedding cover for the local whitetail. There is a little over a half mile of trails that help you navigate around the property. The main trail starts at the cabin and goes down over the hill. From there, it parallels the creek, leads to the quarter-acre plot, and continues to the northwest corner of the property. There is also another trail that will split off and meander to the northeast corner. All the ridgetops are primarily open, with several large white oaks and other hardwoods on them. Indian Creek is a larger creek and appears to have running water year-round. A couple of smaller creeks feed in and out of the main channel. This property is large enough to qualify for landowner tags. The current owner has also received information from the State of Illinois to sign the property up for a Conservation Stewardship Program to help lower the taxes.
