Are you searching for nearly 5 acres to build your dream home and outbuilding? This gently sloping, lightly wooded 4.55-acre lot is part of a spacious 16-lot subdivision. The wooded conservation area on the south side creates a natural buffer between your home and neighboring properties, leaving you with about 2.65 acres of usable land. Homes must have a minimum of 2,350 square feet, and while you can add an outbuilding, it must not have steel sides or roofing, and all proposed structures require approval. The low annual association fee of $465/year covers street maintenance, snow removal, common insurance, and mailbox services. Lot owners are responsible for mowing their own lawns, including easements. With most lots ranging from 3 to 5 acres, there's ample space to spread out. The location is close to town with easy access to I-57, yet remains away from busy streets, and there are no high-tension power lines nearby. You'll be just a short distance from the Des Plaines Conservation Area and Kankakee River State Park, and about an hour from downtown Chicago. There are some freshwater emergent wetlands in the northeast corner near the road, but most of the lot is high and flat, suitable for a private well, septic system, and propane heating. A walk-out basement is likely feasible. Check the survey and proposed homesite in the additional information.
