1940 70TH Avenue, Aledo, IL 61231 For Sale

If you've been searching for the perfect place to build in the country without sacrificing convenience, this 11.3-acre property deserves a look. Located just 3½ miles from downtown Aledo, this picturesque tract offers gently rolling pasture and hay ground that is fully fenced for horses or cattle. A gated entrance leads into a thoughtfully designed corral and livestock handling area, allowing equipment and trailers to enter and exit without turning animals loose. Just above the entrance, an elevated and level building site overlooks the property below, creating an outstanding location for a custom home, barndominium, or weekend getaway. Mature shade trees are scattered across the landscape, adding beauty, character, and shelter for livestock. What truly sets this property apart, however, is its remarkable topography. Three natural draws converge near the center of the farm before narrowing between two hogback ridges at the road frontage. This unique landform creates an exceptional opportunity to construct a dam and develop a private lake exceeding three acres in size with the potential for more than 20 feet of water depth. Opportunities like this are difficult to find on acreage of this size. Whether your vision includes horses, a hobby farm, a country home overlooking the water, or simply owning a beautiful piece of rural Illinois, this property offers outstanding versatility in an ideal location. Situated within the Mercer County School District and only minutes from Aledo
