Property Details

This 25.5-acre property is situated in a highly sought-after, scenic section of the Shawnee National Forest, located near the second-highest elevation point in Illinois. The site offers a unique combination of permanent residency potential and immediate, turn-key income opportunities. The acreage includes space available for future development of a custom home. The property features six state-approved campsites ready for immediate operation. These sites are strategically located on the Shawnee Wine Trail and the renowned River to River Trail in the Bald Knob Wilderness. Five of the six sites are fully equipped with electric and water hookups, plus a shared dump site. The final site includes its own separate electric, water, and dump site connections. All campsite infrastructure is new and requires no upgrades. The newly remodeled, 1,088-square-foot residential home is discreetly positioned away from the campsites to ensure privacy. This furnished, two-bedroom, two-full-bath home features upgraded appliances and a comfortable, rustic aesthetic. It is currently generating income as a vacation rental but is equally suitable for use as a primary residence. Notable features include an 8'x32' screened-in front porch that offers views of the surrounding wildlife and low traffic on the private access road. A repainted 40'x50' barn stable, originally designed for equestrian use, is also on the property. This structure offers significant flexibility for various uses or conversion. The home is prepared as a turn-key rental, offering convenience for incoming guests. The access road leads directly to the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, a major, highly visible regional landmark that attracts international visitors. The property is steps from the Godwin Trailhead and offers convenient access to major hiking destinations such as Pomona Natural Bridge and Little Grand Canyon. The area is a destination for outdoor enthusiasts, including bicyclists, rock climbers, and hunters, with ample public hunting grounds nearby. The Shawnee Wine Trail, a significant visitor draw, is easily accessible, with three of the twelve wineries located within a five-mile radius. Additional regional amenities include two 150-year-old legacy orchards, local artisans, musicians, farm-to-table dining options, and a major university, collectively contributing to the area's strong destination appeal.
