Open House Saturday, September 12th 9 AM to 11 AM

Bidding Ends Wednesday, October 7th at 10 AM

The views from this home are the kind that stop people in their tracks. Set on top of a hill overlooking the Kaskaskia and Mississippi River bottoms, it takes in one of the finest vistas in Illinois.

The two-bedroom, one-bath home has been well maintained and would serve equally well as a primary residence, a weekend cabin, or a short-term rental. With 7.415± acres, there is ample room to add on if you need more space. Storage is covered by a 1,568-square-foot garage, a 20x40 pole barn, and a 20x12 shed.

In the spring, the sellers listen to turkeys gobble and watch them strut across the yard. In the fall, they watch big bucks chase does through timber turning red, orange, and gold. This property has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Located 11 miles north of Chester, Illinois, and 31 miles south of Waterloo.
