Description
Located in the quiet countryside near Tennessee, IL, and just a short drive from Macomb, this property offers the rare opportunity to own a spacious and adaptable estate with deep roots, modern enhancements, and revenue possibilities. This small-acreage property holds a big punch when it comes to infrastructure. It is a functional and highly adaptable property situated on 6.43 acres in a rural area of west-central Illinois. Previously operated as a commercial outfitting business, the property is set up with infrastructure and facilities that support ongoing or new business use. The layout is well-suited for short-term rental, hunting operations, or group lodging. Built in 1920, the main home includes approximately 2,850 square feet of finished living space with five bedrooms, one full bathroom on the main level, another full bathroom upstairs with two showers, and an additional half bath. The layout supports larger groups or family use with flexible sleeping arrangements. A full, unfinished basement includes the laundry area and provides additional storage or workspace. Outside, an expansive front porch serves as a picture-perfect spot to take in quiet sunsets or enjoy a morning coffee with views of the farmland around. The interior is designed with durability in mind, with wood floors that suit a variety of uses, including personal residence, rental setup, or outfitter basecamp. This property is tailor-made for those seeking a turn-key commercial opportunity, a hunting lodge, a VRBO or Airbnb site, or even a serene personal residence with the space to support multi-family living or retreats. Several outbuildings expand the property's utility and livability, starting with a massive 30’ x 64’ three-sided pole barn constructed in 2020—ideal for storing equipment, ATVs, boats, or recreational gear with a 3” rock floor. A 23’ x 11’ storage shed with a concrete floor provides secure space for tools. Now the showstopper structure is a 2,700-square-foot utility building. Of that, approximately 1,085 square feet has been finished into private guide quarters, complete with two bedrooms, a full bathroom featuring double showers, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. This bonus living space makes the property exceptionally attractive for multi-family setups, guests, outfitting operations, hunting clients, or vacation renters. Adding even more value and potential are two prefabricated tiny cabins situated on the property. Each features a durable rubber roof and is already hooked up to water, sewer, and electric—ready to be finished into unique guest accommodations, long-term rentals, or private retreats. With utilities already in place, converting these cabins into income-producing spaces would require minimal effort, offering yet another stream of revenue or flexibility for extended family or guests. Whether you want to run a business, host vacationers, or simply enjoy the country lifestyle with room to expand, this property can accommodate your vision. The land is open, flat, and functional—perfect for recreational use, hobby farming, livestock, or simply enjoying the privacy of rural life. The possibilities here are nearly endless. The school district includes West Prairie Elementary and High Schools, and local roads make for easy access to nearby amenities while still offering a rural living escape. This property fits anyone looking for practical, usable space with room for expansion or business opportunities. Its existing features make it suitable for a variety of personal or commercial applications without major changes or additional investment. Whether you're operating a recreational business, developing short-term rentals, or simply want more land and living space, this piece offers value and flexibility.
