The property showcases clean woods with abundant hardwoods, featuring rolling topography, and trails throughout, making it an exceptional recreational property. With 23.27 tillable acres, there is also potential for income. Notably, there are existing outbuildings and a structure on the premises (formerly a home) that the current owner has commenced rebuilding from top to bottom. The reconstruction includes a new roof line, giving it a charming gable barn feel, as well as new water lines. Plumbing and electrical systems have been updated as well. The home itself is unfinished, presenting a blank canvas for the prospective owner to create their desired space with approximately 2800 square feet on the main level plus the basement and 2nd level that could be finished, possibly creating a 5000 sq ft home. The home has three large decks, including a partial walkout basement with a 28 x 40 footprint and 9-foot ceilings. Complete with an egress window and roughed-in plumbing, this space offers versatile potential. The current layout comprises a striking great room with 23-foot ceilings measuring 28 x 40, along with a sizably proportioned common area measuring 38 x 27 with 11-foot ceilings. A loft on the second floor provides an excellent vantage point to admire the expansive land, made even better by an adjacent outer deck. Additionally, a large cupola atop the structure offers panoramic views. Given the vast remaining area to be finished, the possibilities are limitless. A full-time residence, spacious cabin, or even an event center could be envisioned. Whatever the ultimate purpose of the structure and outbuildings, the setting is truly exceptional, teeming with whitetail deer and turkey. Moreover, the property's location is conveniently within minutes of Carbondale, IL. Please note that this property can only be viewed by appointment and realtor accompaniment is mandatory. The possibility of a division might also be considered by the seller.
