Nostalgic Hunting And Recreational Farm With Secluded Building Sites
798 Arena Lane Sparland, IL 61565
Description
Privately tucked away just outside the village limits of Sparland, this picturesque hunting and recreational farm is sure to catch your eye and definitely offers something for everyone! Entering the property, you’ll cross the dam of an older pond, and you’ll immediately start to feel the seclusion this entire farm has to offer. At the front of the property, there are two older mobile homes, a shelter house, and a historic horse stable/barn. Steeped in nostalgia, the property was once called “Hilltop Arena” where they held large sanctioned quarter horse shows, and held races on their approximately quarter-mile bush track, and its location is still visible today on the west side of the farm. Hearing a few stories of what the property once was makes a person really go back in time and wonder how many lives were positively impacted by the camaraderie and friendly competition on this very farm! The barn has seen better days, but there is enough left to really tell the story and imagine what it was like several decades ago! The bulk of the vacant land consists of rolling timber, pastures and a gently rolling large field consisting of grass and lush clovers, most notably mowed for hay in 2024. For the hunter and outdoorsman, the property boasts diverse wildlife habitats, food plot locations, natural water sources, forest cover, and excellent connecting habitat, making it a proven destination for deer, turkeys, and small game and ensuring successful hunting seasons year after year. Dreaming of building now or in the future? Due to its private location and being set well off the main road, this property offers a secluded building site and the perfect canvas for your dream hunting cabin, weekend retreat, or forever home. Whether you're looking to unplug, explore, build, hunt, or invest in legacy land, this property offers a sense of peace, privacy, and permanence that’s hard to find. Don’t miss your chance to create new memories on this timeless piece of land, where the past meets your future in the quiet of the countryside.
