21617 Emerald Rd, Carlyle, IL 62231

Absolutely secluded multi-home property located 1000 feet off county road on 8.73 acres. Fully finished 1 bedroom/1 bath pool house can serve as a party place, guest quarters, or a separate mother-in-law suite. Ample space for horses, chickens and perhaps a beef cow or two. Grow a garden in the rich soil. Want some additional income without any work? You have the option of renting out about 2 acres of crop ground out to our local farmer friends. RV/boat parking in the large workshop. In addition, there is a full RV hookup with 30 amp electrical service, water and sewer just west of the house. Incredibly private and rural, but only an hour to Lambert International Airport. Commuters to Scott AFB and Edwardsville have a 50 minute drive in the country. Effingham is an hour to our east. 1.5 miles from the Keyesport IL Boat Ramp to Carlyle Lake. City water services the two houses, while a well is available for additional water needs.
