Property description

This 90 acre property is accessed by 1/2 mile of private, tree canopied township road, continuing along a 1200 foot private lane. Ten wooded acres, adjacent to the 80, can be accessed by the township road allowing separate development easily. The property features 2 stocked ponds that attract migratory birds each year. Hundreds of white tail deer thrive and roam the land as well as wild turnkey and bob cats. A bald eagles nest is hidden in the woods. There is a 25 acre hay field that has well maintained, rich soil. Riding trails are abundant on the acreage or take a short trailer ride to nearby Giant City State Park or Shawnee National Forest. The 10 wooded acre parcel can be developed separately with access by continuing along the township road at the green gate, where the drive continues to left. The 10 acres are currently under a forestry management program & taxed at 1/6 agriculture land. The home and barns are connected to under ground power and city water is provided by underground lines with plenty of pressure.
