Property Description

If you’ve been looking for your own 40-acre property in the hills of northwest Illinois, look no further. This property has it all including wooded acres, tillable acres, spring fed pond, ranch home, and much more! Located in the rolling hills of northern Carroll County in beautiful northwest Illinois, you’ll find this 40-acre paradise. Turning off of Elizabeth Road onto the blacktop driveway you’ll first come to the 3,150 +/- square foot ranch home and 25’ x 45’ workshop. The home is complete with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths including a finished basement and two stall attached garage. The upstairs of the home features a large living area, kitchen and attached dining room, as well as the three bedrooms, one full bath, and an office space. Downstairs, you’ll find another kitchen, living area with wood fireplace, and the second bathroom. The downstairs leads out to an attached two stall garage with plenty of room for storage and/or workspace. The garage also features a working wood stove to heat the area. Next to the house you’ll find a well maintained 25’x45’ workshop complete with a wood smoker, plenty of space for storage, and room to work on equipment or projects. Behind the workshop, you’ll notice a 25’x25’ concrete pad which would make a fantastic space to relax or camp during the summer with excellent sunset views over the pond! Speaking of the pond, the next thing you can’t help but notice is the beautiful ½ acre spring fed pond located at the bottom of the hill. This pond is stocked with bass and bluegill and comes complete with a jon boat, aerator, and fish shack with electricity! Also located near the pond is a 30’ x 50’ three sided pole shed, perfect for keeping machinery and equipment out of the elements. Moving onto the land, you’ll find 40.36 +/- acres of classic northwest Illinois countryside. 12 +/- acres of the property are made up of tillable acres and are currently verbally leased to a local farmer on a year-to-year basis for $1,800. The timber on the property has been selectively harvested in recent years, however some marketable timber remains. Predominate hardwood species include black walnut, white oak, and cherry. Walking through the property you’ll notice a large amount of young black walnut trees which will likely provide significant timber value once mature. For the hunter, the whitetail and turkey hunting on the property is fantastic. Both species have high densities in the area and the property provides an excellent mix of open fields, hardwood timber, thickets, and rolling terrain perfect for hunting. For the whitetail enthusiast, the property is a blank slate to transform and design the whitetail hunting paradise you’ve dreamed about. The tillable acres have the potential to be converted to food plots or bedding cover to further enhance the hunting on the property. The timbered acres already provide a good balance of bedding cover and mature timber. The selective harvest that have taken place in several spots have opened up the canopy and provide optimal bedding habitat that will continue to improve as years pass. In addition, the mature oak trees scattered throughout the property provide an easy food source for whitetails in the fall and the rolling terrain creates numerous pinch points and funnels. Whether you are looking to move to a private and secluded setting in the country, wanting a weekend getaway, or a property with recreational opportunities, don’t miss this property!
