Longhollow Legacy Farm - 108 +/- Acres with Cabin, Income, Scenic Views, & Hunting
Property Description
Located in one of the most desirable areas of Jo Daviess County, this 108 +/- acre property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a farm that provides multiple income streams while providing an exceptional recreational and lifestyle experience.
Spend the weekend hiking your own trails, watching wildlife move through mature hardwoods, gathering around the firepit, playing golf at The General, or dining and shopping in historic downtown Galena just minutes away. With tillable income, hunting lease income, Airbnb income, and two spectacular building sites, this property works as both a retreat and a long-term land investment.
Located at 3340 West Longhollow Road, Elizabeth, Illinois, just 10 minutes from downtown Galena, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and income-producing potential. The farm features approximately 60 tillable acres carrying a weighted Productivity Index of 104, 10 acres of pasture, and a secluded balance of mature hardwood timber featuring black walnut, oak, and hickory.
The property also includes a beautifully finished 400-square-foot Airbnb cabin designed for comfort and efficiency. Features include custom granite counters, a 65-inch TV, king bed, Liebherr refrigerator, microwave, two-basin stainless steel kitchen sink, electric range with oven and cooktop, electric baseboard heat, wood-burning stove, full bath with Kohler vanity, custom ceramic tile shower, outdoor patio, firepit, and park-style BBQ grill. The cabin is available furnished and also features wireless internet, electronic keypad, ring cameras, and EV charging station.
The recreational qualities of this farm are exceptional. An established road/trail system provides access throughout the property, winding through timbered ridges, creek corridors, and scenic overlooks. The diverse habitat supports strong populations of whitetail deer and wild turkey, while springtime morel mushroom hunting adds yet another seasonal attraction. Whether your interests include hunting, hiking, ATV riding, wildlife observation, horseback riding, or simply enjoying the outdoors, the property offers year-round enjoyment.
This is not just a scenic property - it is an income-producing recreational asset. Current or recent income sources include approximately $5,000 from hunting lease income, about $16,500 from tillable land lease income (or more from custom farming), and about $10,000+ gross Airbnb income.
Perhaps the most unique feature of the farm is its collection of elevated ridge-top locations that offer sweeping 180-degree views across the surrounding countryside. These sites provide compelling opportunities for a future home, family retreat, or legacy estate while maintaining privacy and seclusion.
Whether you envision morning coffee overlooking the valley, afternoons on the golf course, evenings around the firepit, hiking through your own hardwood forest, or creating a private Galena-area retreat, this property offers a combination of location, beauty, usability, and income that is rarely available on the market.
An additional contiguous 38.5 acres is available, including tillable bottom land, secluded hardwood forest, and Furnace Creek.
