Typically ground in Effingham County is either sold through auction, or pocket listings. It is rare for bigger recreational acreage to hit the market. What makes this piece even better?.the location. A geographical oddity that seems to be 5 minutes from everything. 5 minutes from Effingham hotels & restaurants, 5 minutes from Lake Sara and all it has to offer, 5 minutes from Ballard Nature Center, and so on. Nestled between Highway 40 and Interstate 70, makes it a breeze for people from all over the state, and country for that matter, to get to with no problem. Take exit 169 at the I57 & I70 Junction in Effingham, head west on Highway 40 and you will be there in you guessed it, 5 minutes.
