Located on the western edge of Charleston, just north of West Hayley Avenue and south of IL-16, this remarkable property offers nearly endless possibilities for development, recreation or a private retreat.

Spanning a diverse landscape, the southeast corner of the property - approximately 1.5 acres - has its own Parcel Identification Number. This section presents an ideal opportunity for annexation into the city, which could open the door to city utilities and make it a fantastic site for building your dream home or a cozy hunting cabin. There is currently a small 8x20 storage container with a lean-to there for storage.

If you're seeking a more secluded and private building location, the property offers several scenic options. One standout spot, perched above Riley Creek, could be cleared to create a stunning homesite with breathtaking views over the bottoms - particularly vibrant in the fall.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the property is a dream come true. It's loaded with wildlife, especially deer and turkey. The terrain features thick ravines, hardwood-covered ridge tops and a network of well-worn trails used by game traveling between bedding areas and nearby crop fields. A high bank along the creek provides the perfect turkey roost, with strutting grounds in the spring right below.

Recreational opportunities abound, especially for those interested in developing an intricate trail system for UTVs, ATVs or dirt bikes. With several large hills, creek crossings and varied terrain, the property offers endless adventure.

Approximately 37 acres are currently in row crop rotation and planted in corn for the year, providing additional income potential and open space. The current owner has done extensive cleanup around the edge of the crop field to help maximize the yields. There is approximately 10’ between the woods and the field, and all the washed-out areas have been fixed as well. A tremendous amount of work has gone into this project. He has also run a few tile lines to help drain a few areas that tend to hold water in a wet year.

Whether you're looking for a private hunting haven, a stunning build site, or a multi-use recreational property, this unique piece of land checks all the boxes.
