Escape to the peace and privacy of Southern Illinois with this 4.933± surveyed acre, all-wooded property tucked deep in the timber. Located within walking distance of the vast Shawnee National Forest, you’ll have direct access to thousands of acres offering miles of horseback riding trails, exceptional hunting, and scenic hiking opportunities.
Even better, this property directly borders the renowned River to River Trail, making it a dream setup for horseback riders and outdoor enthusiasts looking for immediate trail access right from their own land.
The property is predominantly covered in mature hardwood timber, creating a beautiful natural setting and ideal habitat for wildlife. A well-maintained walking trail winds through the timber, leading from one side of the property to the other, allowing you to fully enjoy the landscape. There is also a designated gravel camping pad, perfect for pulling in a camper or hosting additional guests.
Set well back off a quiet dead-end road, the newer off-grid cabin offers true seclusion and a place to unwind. Powered by solar energy, the cabin is designed for simple, self-sufficient living and includes a water storage system and an outhouse.
Whether you're searching for a private hunting basecamp, a trail rider’s retreat, or a peaceful off-grid getaway, this property delivers the perfect blend of direct trail access, proximity to public land, and complete privacy in a stunning wooded setting.
