Welcome to an extraordinary private estate situated at the end of a long, dead end road,
Offering 135 acres of breathtaking land paired with a custom home built in 2021.
The land offers approximately 50 acres of open prairie and over 85 acres of hardwood ridges
with mass producing oak trees. A meandering creek runs through the hardwoods, serving as a
natural funnel for deer, turkey and other wildlife. Many large white tail bucks and eastern wild
gobblers have been harvested here. Large tracts of the land haven’t been hunted in over 10
years and serve as a sanctuary for wildlife. The property is adjacent to a large tract of
Shawnee National Forest, adding privacy and additional hunting opportunities. Located within
the open prairie are two bodies of water, a 2 acre pond and a 4.5 acre lake, both stocked and
both with fishing piers. The land is a natural flyway to Shawnee Bay, with the lake attracting
much waterfowl.
The 3,770 sf modern farmhouse was designed by Carlton Edwards of Nashville, TN and built
by Tim Anderson Construction of Southern, Illinois. The homes striking exterior features three
covered porches, oversized windows and sliding doors, maintenance free siding, and a metal /
