Listing Description
If you've been searching for a beautifully wooded property with cleared acreage suitable for residential development, all near the Fox Chain of Lakes, read on! Located between Johnsburg and Spring Grove in unincorporated McHenry County, this stunning property pairs two adjoining parcels, totaling approximately 60 acres. The primary 40-acre parcel, zoned R1, begins along Broadway Street and runs north where it meets the northern 20-acre parcel, zoned R1&E1, which together form a nicely squared-off rectangular shape. The beautiful rolling hills of this area seamlessly carry into this property which sets the stage for incredible potential building sites. Approximately 8 acres of tillable land is located on the southernmost end of the property with about one acre currently being transitioned from outdoor storage back to open land. Mature hardwoods consisting of oak, hickory and cherry frame the tillable field along its north and eastern sides. The topography of the land gives way to a tranquil stream meandering through the middle of the wooded portion of land feeding Nippersink Creek. The property rises back up on the north side of the stream and gives way to hardwood ridges along the property's northern boundary. An established trail network allows for easy access through the woods and provides a sense of discovery as it twists and turns through various woodland habitats. A host of wildlife species call this property home including whitetail deer, waterfowl and numerous varieties of migrating songbirds. This is a dream property only made better by its location being about one mile from the Fox Chain of Lakes spanning over 7000 acres! Enjoy a day on the water paired with the dining and shopping the area is known for, then return home to the privacy of your wooded oasis. With the highlights mentioned above and so many more, this property is a must-see!
