Description

RARE 20+ ACRE HILLTOP EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY! Located in an equestrian-friendly community and directly adjacent to the "Head of the Trail" leading into the expansive 3,006-acre Lakewood Forest Preserve. Enjoy immediate access to a network of approximately 25.1 continuous miles of trails throughout the preserve, offering opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking and more. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling and ice fishing. The preserve trail entrance is conveniently walk-on ready from the property. This exceptional parcel is situated at one of the highest elevation points in Lake County offering beautiful views and a unique opportunity to create a private estate, equestrian property or potential residential development. The property is currently zoned Estate/Agriculture and stands dividable into approximately 5-7 two-acre parcels, subject to Lake County parcel design approval and applicable zoning and subdivision requirements.
