Tucked away down a quiet gravel lane, this 3-acre wooded property offers incredible versatility and potential. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, an investment opportunity, or a place to build your dream home, this location checks the boxes. The property features four existing structures - one with approximately 500 sq. ft. of livable space plus a 400 sq. ft. workshop/garage area, giving you a functional base for your vision. Two of the other three structures are in need of significant repair, making this a great opportunity for someone ready to reimagine the space. With Lake of Egypt just minutes away, you'll have easy access to all the recreation the area is known for - boating, fishing, golfing, and hunting. Its proximity to Marion and I-57 also makes it ideal for those who want the privacy of a getaway without sacrificing convenience. Whether you envision a cozy cabin retreat, a VRBO vacation rental, a hunter's hideaway, or a new home surrounded by nature - this property offers the flexibility to make it happen. Opportunities like this don't come around often... seize it while you can. Property being sold AS-IS only.
