Recreational Paradise - 46.5 Acres Bordering the Little Vermilion River. Welcome to one of Central Illinois' most breathtaking recreational properties-46.5 acres of pure opportunity located just outside of Catlin, IL. Bordered along the east by the tranquil Little Vermilion River, this versatile tract offers something for everyone-whether you're looking to build, hunt, relax, or invest. This land is loaded with natural beauty: mature oak flats, towering 100-foot pines, and scattered walnut trees create a stunning wooded backdrop. A small creek winds through the property, flowing into the Little Vermilion and adding to the serene charm of the setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the fully accessible, well-maintained trail system that leads to all corners of the land. Wildlife is abundant-deer, turkeys, box turtles, and more make frequent appearances, offering exceptional hunting or wildlife viewing. It's been described as a "petting zoo" for deer thanks to the ample bedding and nearby food sources like surrounding corn and bean fields. A cleared build site is ready for your dream cabin, home, or getaway retreat. This is a perfect spot for a hobby farm, family camping trips, or even a series of short-term rentals like Airbnbs. With local attractions including nearby wineries, breweries, and a popular wedding venue, there's income-generating potential too. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape, a multi-use recreational haven, or a long-term investment, this one-of-a-kind property delivers it all-just 40 minutes from Champaign.
