With more than 30 acres of water spread across three main lakes, diverse surrounding habitat and convenient access to some of northern Illinois' best-known outdoor destinations, this LaSalle County property offers a broad range of recreational and potential investment uses. A major feature of the property is the existing Airbnb. Designed to accommodate larger groups as well as weekend stays, the lodging sleeps up to 16 guests and provides gathering spaces suited to extended stays at the property. Interior features include a bar, dining room table with seating for 10, fireplace and a deep soaking tub. A screened-in porch provides additional space to relax while enjoying the property's outdoor setting. More than 30 acres of water are located across three primary lakes, creating significant fishing and recreational opportunities within the property. The lakes are reported to be stocked with a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, white crappie, black crappie, catfish and panfish. Whether the goal is fishing from shore, spending time on the water or simply enjoying a property where water is a central part of the landscape, the lake system provides recreational options throughout much of the year. The property's position in the Illinois River bottom also places it within an area known for waterfowl activity. Waterfowl use the broader Illinois River corridor during seasonal migrations, giving hunters another recreational component to consider. The combination of lakes, surrounding habitat and the property's location within the river-bottom landscape creates an appealing setting for those interested in waterfowl hunting and wildlife observation. Deer hunting adds to the property's recreational diversity. The topography and surrounding habitat provide opportunities for whitetail deer, while small game adds another dimension to the land. At nearly 200 acres, there's room for hunters and land managers to evaluate travel corridors, bedding cover, feeding areas and access strategies as part of a long-term wildlife and habitat management plan. Buyers interested in an Illinois hunting property can combine deer hunting, waterfowl hunting, fishing and other outdoor pursuits with numerous options of recreational use. Wildlife viewing is equally notable. The Illinois River corridor is recognized for birdwatching opportunities, including opportunities to observe bald eagles. The property's combination of open water and river-bottom habitat provides an attractive setting for birdwatchers, photographers and anyone who enjoys spending time around wildlife. Beyond the property boundaries, the Ottawa area provides access to some of northern Illinois' most recognizable outdoor attractions. Starved Rock State Park is located along the Illinois River and offers hiking, scenic overlooks, canyons and other outdoor activities. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources also identifies fishing, boating, kayaking and canoeing among the recreational activities available in the Starved Rock area. Additional state parks and public recreation destinations in the region further expand the outdoor opportunities available within a drive of the property. The combination of substantial acreage, three stocked lakes, more than 30 acres of water, existing lodging and diverse wildlife habitat makes this property suitable for a range of ownership goals. It could serve as a private recreational retreat, hunting and fishing property or a group gathering destination. It's location near Ottawa and the Illinois River, together with proximity to Starved Rock State Park and other regional recreation, rounds out a distinctive northern Illinois recreational land offering.
