Escape to the peace and privacy of Southern Illinois with this rare opportunity to own 18.5 acres just minutes from the breathtaking Little Grand Canyon and the renowned Shawnee Wine Trail. Whether you're looking for a mini-farm, recreational retreat, or the perfect place to build your dream home, this property offers endless potential. The acreage is completely fenced and was previously used as a horse pasture, making it ideal for livestock or hobby farming. A small creek winds through the property, adding to the natural beauty and serene setting. Surrounded by mature trees, you'll enjoy privacy and the quiet tranquility the sellers have cherished for years. A 40x40 pole barn with electric provides ample space for equipment, storage, or animals.
