MOTIVATED SELLER -- PRICE REDUCED $10,000!
A 1542 sq. ft. 2-bedroom, 1-bath house with 1-car attached garage and a 400 sq. ft. 2-car detached garage/pole barn are situated on 15.76 acres only .25 mile from highway and accessible by way of a private entrance road. Property is bordered on all sides by other private rural property and adjacent at its northwest corner to Shawnee National Forest land in Pope County, IL in an area known for its scenic beauty, equestrian riding and camping activity, and huge seasonal migration of bow and shotgun deer hunters. Property is only 2-1/2 miles by highway from River to River Trail, 6 miles from Garden of Gods Recreation Area, 22 miles from Golconda Marina on the Ohio River, 15 miles southeast of Harrisburg, IL on IL Route 34, 35 miles southeast of Marion, IL (I-57 & airport), 50 miles north of Paducah, KY (I-24 & airport), 65 miles southwest of Evansville, IN (I-64 & airport), 155 miles southeast of St. Louis, 200 miles northwest of Nashville, TN and 300 miles south of Chicago. Property is unique in that it offers a great deal of seclusion and exposure to wildlife in spite of its close proximity to highway, and the house has a rustic feel in its surroundings.

The house has a spring-fed deep well and a lateral-type septic system. There is public water access at the intersection of the entrance road and the highway. I built a virtually maintenance-free entrance road from the highway to the property, as well as a service road on the property that ends at the structures, in 1989. Improvements to the structures include the following: 1) New 200 amp electrical entrance in 1996; 2) New roof on house in 1999; 3) New vinyl siding, vinyl clad windows, entrance (2) and garage (1) doors, concrete porch and patio slabs, and HVAC system (heat pump) for house in 2007; 4) New window, entrance (1) and garage (2) doors, and partial replacement of metal siding and roof for detached garage/pole barn in 2007; and 5) Electrical enhancements to both structures in 2007. I have made every improvement from the perspective that I was going to Powered by LandsofAmerica.com, #1 in Rural Real Estate Online. THIS INFORMATION BELIEVED ACCURATE BUT NOT WARRANTED

15.76 Acres in Pope County, IL Greg Barnett Investments | 618-518-8765 | [email protected] own the property indefinitely. The attached garage and a portion of utility room could be easily converted into a master area. The great room accesses the small uncovered porch on the front of the house and the patio at the back. The interior of the house needs minor improvements including replacing the outdated carpet and linoleum throughout, and I HAVE PRICED THE PROPERTY TO MORE THAN ALLOW FOR UPDATING THE INTERIOR WITHOUT EXCEEDING MARKET VALUE. The kitchen cabinets are handmade from oak, and the counter tops are tan wood-grained (butcher block) Formica. There is paneling on the walls throughout the house. Also, I would consider selling some of the furnishings with the house. With the exception of the areas surrounding the structures and the service road, the property is covered in timber. To the best of my knowledge, the timber has never been cut. I bought the property which included the existing structures in 1983. The property was surveyed in 2007 and is narrow east/west and long north/south. The house faces west and is located close to the east property line on the northernmost 5.5 acres of the property. 2013 property tax payable 2014 is $1,569. APPRAISED VALAUE as of October, 2010 was $129,000, and a verbal update from the same appraiser in December, 2013 indicated a LOW VALUE of $129,000 and a HIGH VALUE of $135,000. There are at least 3 suitable cabin sites in the wooded areas close to the house and service road on the northernmost 5.5 acres and, of course, numerous cabin sites on the southernmost 10 acres of the property. The most natural access to the southernmost 10 acres is by way of the area between the house and the detached garage/pole barn. A neighboring land owner has told me several times since he became a local resident that "The people that buy your house will know they're going to buy it as they drive up the road the first time before they ever get out of the vehicle."

Driving Directions Go south out of Harrisburg, IL on IL Routes 34/145 for approximately 8 miles to Mitchellsville. Turn left to continue on Route 34 for approximately 6 miles to Herod. After the speed limit reduces for Herod, there is a small cave in a hill just off the highway to the right. Immediately before the next house on the right, there is a lane (next to a water hydrant) that goes up a hill and disappears. That lane is the entrance road for the property. At the fork in the entrance road turn left onto the service road that goes to the structures at the top of the hill as shown in the Main Photo.
