This unique property is a rare find in Sycamore School District. Half of the lot has beautiful mature Oak trees and has meticulously maintained lawn, and the other half has old growth mature forest with a creek curving through it. There is a small 1 bed 1 bath ranch home on the property as well. This is a rare opportunity to place your dream home under the shade of already mature trees and have plenty of room on your property to enjoy it's natural setting. Or maybe you don't want a big house and you want that custom outbuilding you have been daydreaming about? County Zoning allows for outbuildings and the existing home would allow for immediate construction after closing. Ask your agent for more information on exact rules and regulations.
