Located in the heart of Winnebago County, this property offers a wealth of possibilities. The current home sits on the west side and presents a great building site for your dream home that allows you to utilize existing infrastructure such as underground power and a well. This area boasts good elevation, offering beautiful views of the property from the home site.Down the lane from the house site is a 24 x 36 concrete floor outbuilding equipped with heat, water, and electricity. It currently houses 15 indoor/outdoor kennels, which could be removed if not needed. This flat, elevated area has potential for livestock or other uses.Exploring the land, you'll find 12-13+/- acres up by the house that was historically row crop farmed, which could be converted back into farm ground. Freshly mowed trails traverse the property, with the main trail leading from west to east, passing by a current pond and over a culvert where the main branch of the creek flows.Approaching the northeastern side of the property, it transitions into early successional forest and timber. Within this timbered area is an open 1.5-acre field, ideal for a food plot coming off the surrounding timber and agricultural properties. The creek meanders through this timbered area, and as you travel south, additional timber and open pockets provide further opportunities for food sources.The trail system also provides a route to the southeast side, where a small stand of timber would make an excellent location for an elevated box blind. This spot offers a vantage point over the potential food plot location nestled off the timber in the southern corner. While touring the property, it's common to see deer, turkey, and pheasants.The potential of this property is endless, whether you're looking for a hunting property, a potential build site, a place to run livestock or to add a larger pond.
