GENERAL INFORMATION
33.43 surveyed acres • 2 tracts
The two tracts represent excellent building locations with Mississippi River views, as well as great recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiasts. Tract 1 is currently in hay production but could easily be sub-divided and made into multiple building locations which would offer some of the best river views along Great River Road. Tract 2 offers open field with a mix of timber along Sheridan Creek. These smaller potential development and recreational properties along the Mississippi River are very rare to the market in Hancock County, Illinois. Both tracts offer endless possibilities!
