Your Private Wooded Sanctuary: Build Your Dream Home Near Seneca

Property Description

Looking for a private, wooded setting to build your country home near Seneca, Illinois? This 22.1 +/- acre parcel combines approximately 17 acres of mature hardwoods with about 5 open acres, including a hay field along the road that puts your future home site up front, with the timber rising behind it for privacy.

The woods hold mature oak, maple, and walnut, offering both potential timber income and outstanding wildlife habitat for deer and turkey hunting. Just off the north boundary, a picturesque ravine cuts east to west, giving the property dramatic views and a true sense of seclusion that’s hard to find this close to town. Along the southern property line, two open areas of about 0.75 acres each are tucked into the timber, ideal spots for food plots. The wooded acreage may also qualify for enrollment in the Forestry Management Program, offering potential property tax savings.

The roadside ground is gently rolling hay with approximately 450 feet of frontage on E 2850th Road, giving you a natural building site and easy access without a long driveway through the woods.

Utilities are already at the road, including electric, natural gas, and high-speed internet. Natural gas access is a rare and valuable find for rural acreage. Located within the Village of Seneca and served by the highly desirable Seneca school district, the property is close to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences while still offering true rural seclusion.

Recently split from a larger 44 acre tract; current tax records are still being updated.
