S. County Road 199 W. , Brook, IN 47922(Newton County)

If you are in the market for what would be a great building site out in the country of northwest Indiana, this is a property which would nicely suit a variety of buyer’s needs. One of its best features is has great road frontage with the several possible building locations for a house, barn or cabin. If building is in your future and you like seclusion or privacy, there is a nice high section of the property which tapers off to a lower small wetland in which you can envision your home or cabin overlooking an ideal pond location. Adjacent to that, acting as a buffer between you and the country road is several acres of trees and brushy area with excellent deer and wildlife habitat. As for hunting opportunities, this property has those as well. Although never hunted by its current owner, there is an abundance of deer sign as well as other small game such as pheasants, doves, rabbits, squirrels and the seasonal turkey sightings. Goose and Duck hunting is also a possibility as the property has an abundance of surrounding agricultural fields around it as well being near waterfowl flyway and Kankakee River and several state conservation areas. In addition to great road access and an existing hard packed gravel driveway on the property, electric utilities are already on site. This 10 acres is part of a larger 40-acre parcel which may be one of the most unique pieces of development, recreational, investment or income producing properties you with find listed with Whitetail Properties. About 5 acres of the adjacent land was operated as a private Astronomy & Telescope Farm and observation facility for Amateur Astronomers and with good reason. With its peaceful and serene setting, just far enough away from the noise, lights and pollution associated with a large city, it was a perfect location for amazing and clear viewing of the star filled sky. These are the same views you could enjoy as your “star gazing” off the deck of your new house or cabin or when camping on this property in your RV, tent or sleeping bag.  These are just a few of the countless enjoyable uses the new owner can experience. It’s easily accessible location from Northeast Illinois (Chicago) and Northwest Indiana off of US 41 so it makes a convenient location for a full-time resident who may need to commute or just a weekend retreat. A few acres are currently being farmed, and more which could be tilled or left in grass or pasture. The property hosts several ideal building sites and enough room for your house and barn for you to start your own hobby farm. The back part of the property gently slopes down to a small wetlands/drainage area and you can almost picture the pond next to a house with a walkout.  Whether you are looking for a hunting location, a place in the country to shoot or ride ATV’s, a future building site, crop production or income, horse or livestock property, you are going to want to check this property out. The low wetland depression area would be a great pond location or water source whether you build a house or not.
