This is an incredible opportunity to own a property that offers a variety of recreational amenities in a very secluded setting at the end of a dead end road. Bordered on east, west and south sides by the Shawnee National Forest, this property consists primarily of dense rolling woods that provides for great whitetail deer and turkey hunting. From riding the trails on horseback or riding through on an atv the trail riding possibilities are endless on the already established trails. There are open fields when entering the property that are relatively flat and could easily be turned into a camping area, if desired. From hunting to trail riding, camping to grand stand events, the possibilities are endless on the usage of this 221 acre property. The 6,826 square foot main building/lodge is a renovated barn that provides seven guest rooms with private baths, a kitchen, dining room, a covered front porch, an enclosed back porch with concession area, men and women’s public restrooms, and a utility and storage area all on the first level. The second level provides a recreation room and an office. The third level of this renovated barn provides living quarters that include a bedroom, full bath and closet area. Adjoining the lodge on the west side is a large stone courtyard and fountain with a gazebo overlooking a large fishing pond. The concession area at the back of the lodge opens up to the patio area to serve during events. On the east side of the lodge there is an above ground swimming pool that is surrounded with a wood deck. Directly in front of the lodge is a small 9 hole miniature golf course. A 2,976 square foot stable is located adjacent to the lodge across the gravel parking lot. The stable has an open construction, with only one wall on the front of the building, a metal roof and gravel throughout. Located several yards behind the stable is a grand stand and arena with seating for approximately 1,000 to 1,500 people. The bleachers overlook an outdoor dirt arena that has been utilized for an outdoor recreational field. This property might qualify for the Illinois Office of Tourism's TAP grant program, which provides match funding to promote tourism activities in Illinois.
