Whether you're looking to restore, renovate, or reimagine, this is your chance to create a home that reflects your lifestyle and dreams. Beyond the home, the property shines with a detached 2.5-car garage, a 60x30-foot pole barn perfect for storage or livestock, a tranquil pond, and an unfinished carriage house with endless possibilities- think guest quarters, studio, or income-producing space, the possibilities are endless. There's room here for pigs, goats, chickens, gardens, and whatever else your heart desires. Wilmington offers small town charm with big personality. From antique shops and cozy diners to the iconic Gemini Giant and the scenic Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, this community is rich in character and outdoor adventure. This isn't just a place to live-it's a place to grow, create, and thrive. Come walk the land, feel the breeze, and imagine what's possible.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
