0.5 acres in Clay County, IL

Opportunity, character, and potential all come together with this unique former church property located between Clay City and Flora. Situated on approximately 0.50+/- acres atop a hill, this 1,200 square foot church building offers a solid structure, recent improvements, and endless possibilities for its next chapter. The property has seen updates including a newer metal roof and updated basement windows, helping preserve the integrity of the building while maintaining its original charm. Upon entering, you'll step into an entry foyer with a convenient half bathroom located just off to the right. Through the double doors, you'll enter the main sanctuary room featuring tall open space, a raised front platform where the podium once stood, and a charming arched alcove area that adds character and architectural appeal. The full basement provides additional usable space and includes a small kitchenette area.
