Address: 810 Soldiers Way, Evansville, IL 62242
Think beyond its former use. Located at 810 Soldiers Road in Evansville, Illinois, this 23.6± acre property in Randolph County offers approximately 30,000± square feet between two substantial steel-frame buildings, along with ample parking, outdoor space and room for semi access and circulation. Conveniently located just off Illinois Route 3 between Chester and Red Bud, the property is approximately an hour from the St. Louis metro area and just over an hour from Carbondale.
The first building offers approximately 15,000± square feet and is currently configured with offices and former classroom spaces. With steel-frame construction and concrete floors, the existing layout provides immediate usable space while also offering the opportunity to rework the interior for a completely different purpose.
A second approximately 15,000± square-foot multipurpose building brings another level of possibility. Originally designed around a gymnasium, the building features a large open floor area with an upper-level entrance overlooking the main space. An overhead door at the rear and room for semis to maneuver around the building add practical potential for storage, warehouse, shop, equipment or other commercial uses.
Could it become an educational facility again? Absolutely. But that is only one direction this property could take. Warehouse or storage space, a shop or business operation, light manufacturing, a training or recreation facility, event venue, private museum or collection, retreat or camping concept—the existing buildings, acreage and flexible layout invite you to look beyond what the property was and consider what it could become.
Most of the property lies within the Evansville city limits, while its Southern Illinois location provides access to the broader Randolph County region and major markets beyond.
The seller may also consider dividing the property, creating even more options for the right buyer.
