Where Hawks Soar High and the air is free and clear you will find this hidden paradise. This unique, one-time "borrow pit" property could be a dream location for an organic farmer, nature lover, bird watcher, or someone that loves fishing, sailing, boating or swimming. There are approximately 41.5 acres , which includes a 22.5 acre aquifer spring-fed lake and a small test pond at the northern end of the property. The lake was stocked circa 40 years ago with blue gill, bass, crappie and catfish. The lake is now surrounded by mature trees which allow for privacy and damper sound from I-72. There is a rustic, 2-story cabin (on skids)with a propane refrigerator and stove. There is a storage building and an outhouse on the property. About 10 acres have been used for hay leasing income and 8 acres are in a set-aside program. This could be rolled over to the buyer(circa additional 5 years remaining). No fertilizers or chemicals have been applied on the property for 35+ years because of the lake. This is a very special place so make it yours by setting an appointment to view this wonderful property. You can see this property on YouTube also.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
