Union County IL 89+- Acres / 3006A

This is an amazing property that offers so much.  As you drive down the tree-lined driveway, you are greeted by a rustic two-story home and barn. The home is well taken care of, and even though it is an older home, it was constructed and architecturally matches the wooded surroundings.  Homeowners coined the property “Bella Vista.”  The owners were true stewards of this beautiful setting. They added a two-story barn, a 4-acre lake stocked with bass, crappie, and bluegill.  The lake is 20+ feet deep with a 16’ x 23’ pavilion, boat dock and a floating swimming dock.

Located near local vineyards and Wine Trail area. At one time there were 5 acres of vineyards; currently there is quarter acre of vineyards.  The rolling hills are perfect for a new owner to expand the vineyard back to the original 5 acres or more.

Most of the property is wooded and rolling hills with several acres of tall fescue suitable to cut hay off and run a few head of cattle on. There are several ATV trails that takes you to the heart of some good deer and turkey hunting. For many years in the past and until recently, the owners have leased out deer hunting.  The area can easily accommodate 6+ hunters. There are 357 acres of Shawnee National Forrest to the north and east that borders this property that expands the hunting area.  There is a cave and waterfall on the property.  Close by is a Zipline facility and cabin rentals.  This property has all the beauty of Union County's hill country and vast forests, yet it is just a few minutes from Interstate 57.

Property can be used as primary residence, hunting lodge, Airbnb property. You could expand the vineyards, raise livestock, great for horseback riding, or use for your own private hunting preserve or rent out the hunting rights. Sincerely, a property like this seldom comes up for sale.
