11721 North Showers Road , Orangeville, IL 61060(Stephenson County)

This Showers Centennial farm has not been available to the public for over 125 years and was first homesteaded in 1897 by Karland Johannah Schablion. The farm has since been passed down through four generations. Farmland in this area of Stephenson County is a tightly held asset with ownership often transferring from generation to generation and rarely comes up for sale. This farm is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional farm in northern Illinois. This high-quality farm would make a great addition to an existing farming operation, an investment-grade quality land purchase, or a long-term investment for the buyer looking to diversify their portfolio.

Located along each side of N Showers Road and the north side of W Orangeville Road, this highly desirable farm includes 117.88 FSA cropland acres carrying a Productivity Rating of 98.4, with the primary soil types being the highly sought-after Dodgeville silt loam and Nasset silt loam. A spacious 1,792+ square foot 3-bedroom, 2-bath Ranch-style home overlooks the one-acre pond. Consider yourself lucky, as real estate of this stature rarely reaches the market.
