Located north of Capron in eastern Boone County, Illinois, this 13 acre recreational property combines a private setting, established fishing, mature timber, wildlife habitat, and an off-grid cabin in a manageable acreage. A private lane leads from the road into the interior of the property, creating separation from the surrounding area before opening to a rustic cabin positioned along the edge of the pond. Whether the goal is a weekend retreat, hunting property, fishing getaway, or a potential future homesite, the property offers several ways to enjoy the land. The pond is one of the property's central features. Its irregular shoreline includes small coves and an island, creating visual interest as well as varied structure for fishing. Professionally managed by McCloud Aquatics, the pond has been maintained to provide established bass and bluegill fishing. The shoreline and cabin location make it easy to spend a morning fishing, launch a small non-motorized watercraft, or simply enjoy the water from the large deck overlooking the pond. The rustic cabin sits near the water and provides a functional starting point for recreational use. Inside, the off-grid cabin includes an open main area with space where a wood stove could potentially be installed. A separate bedroom provides sleeping space, while a potential loft area offers an opportunity for additional finishing. Some electrical wiring is already present, and the cabin could potentially be powered with a generator. The large deck extends the usable outdoor space and places the pond immediately in front of the cabin. Beyond the pond and cabin, the acreage features a mature and diverse stand of timber. An established trail system provides access around the property for walking, wildlife observation, hunting, and property maintenance. The combination of timber, water, cover, and openings creates quality habitat, and deer and wild turkey frequent the property. Additional areas could potentially be opened or managed for wildlife food plots, providing another option for a buyer interested in developing the property's hunting opportunities. The property also offers room for vehicles and parking near the cabin area, an advantage when bringing equipment to the property or gathering for recreational activities. With 13 acres, the tract provides enough ground to create a true outdoor escape while remaining a size that can be efficiently maintained. For buyers considering something beyond recreational use, the sellers have completed extensive preliminary work related to the property's potential buildability.
