About this land
Rarely does a property of this size offer this combination of lakefront recreation, productive tillable acreage, hunting opportunities, multiple stocked water features, existing improvements, and development potential. Located in Franklin County, Illinois, just 2 miles from Rend Lake, this exceptional property offers a beautiful park-like setting with scenic views, excellent privacy, and endless possibilities for the new owner. Accessed by a long private drive, the property offers a sense of seclusion and privacy while still being conveniently located near Rend Lake and the surrounding recreational amenities. The beautiful park-like setting overlooking the lake creates an ideal backdrop for a permanent residence, private cabin, weekend retreat, or potential recreational development. The centerpiece of the property is an impressive 15-acre private stocked lake, offering outstanding recreational opportunities right out your back door. The lake is stocked full of fish and features a private rock boat ramp, making it easy to launch a boat and enjoy fishing, boating, and other water activities. Adding even more recreational appeal, the property also features a separate 2-acre stocked pond, providing another excellent fishing opportunity and additional water habitat for wildlife. Approximately 42 acres are currently in soybean production, providing an existing agricultural income component while also creating excellent wildlife habitat and open acreage. The combination of crop ground, timber, multiple water features, and edge habitat creates an attractive environment for wildlife and offers some excellent whitetail deer and waterfowl hunting opportunities. Waterfowl hunters will especially appreciate the property's location. With Rend Lake and the surrounding waterfowl refuge areas only several miles away, this property is ideally situated along an important regional waterfowl flyway. The peninsula of the private 15-acre lake would make an excellent location for a waterfowl pit or blind, offering the potential for some outstanding hunting right on your own property. The property includes a 30' x 50' pole barn equipped with electric and water, providing excellent storage and utility space for farm equipment, boats, recreational vehicles, or future projects. A 15' x 50' lean-to adds additional covered storage, while a camper hookup and concrete pad make it easy to enjoy the property immediately. There is also an additional smaller pole barn complete with numerous dog kennels, adding another valuable improvement for someone with hunting dogs, sporting dogs, or other outdoor interests. The combination of the two outbuildings provides an impressive amount of storage, workspace, and utility for a property of this type. The scenic setting overlooking the lake provides several potential locations for a custom home or private cabin. For those looking beyond personal use, the property offers an intriguing investment and development opportunity. With its proximity to Rend Lake, lake views, recreational amenities, private access, and existing infrastructure, there is potential to explore the development of multiple rental cabins, vacation accommodations, or numerous campsites, subject to county approvals and applicable regulations. From the private drive and park-like setting to the productive farmland, 15-acre stocked lake, additional 2-acre stocked pond, hunting opportunities, and existing improvements, this property offers a rare blend of agriculture, recreation, hunting, fishing, privacy, and investment potential. The location near Rend Lake provides convenient access to fishing, boating, hunting, camping, golf, and other recreational attractions while still allowing you to enjoy the privacy and space of your own 91-acre property. Whether your vision is a private lakefront estate, hunting and fishing retreat, family getaway, farm investment, or a potential recreational rental development, this deserves a close look.

Questions to ask before you buy
Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
- Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
- What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
- How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
- What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
- What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
- How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
- How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
- What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
