Here is your chance to own a hard-to-find 5-acre parcel with a great mix of partially wooded acreage, open ground, and beautiful views. The property features a spacious 60’ x 40’ shed with overhead doors on both ends, plus a car lift that will remain with the sale. A concrete patio with attached deck off the back of the shed offers a nice space to relax or entertain, and there is an RV plug-in already in place. Electric is currently the only utility serving the property. This versatile parcel offers plenty of possibilities, whether you are looking for a future homesite, recreational getaway, boat or equipment storage, hobby or gardening space, or a potential small business location. Due to Jo Daviess County zoning requirements, any buyer wishing to build a home on the property will need to go through the special use permitting process. Buyer should verify zoning, permitted uses, and utility availability with the appropriate county offices.
