Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire 14.98 expansive acres along Checker Road in the highly sought-after community of Long Grove. Approximately 10.05 acres east of Buffalo Creek have been confirmed by the project engineer as elevated, dry and outside the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), offering exceptional potential for a private custom or equestrian estate. The property features a picturesque mix of mature wooded and open acreage, with Buffalo Creek running through the western portion. Ideally positioned adjacent to Hillcrest Country Club and the Lake County Forest Preserve, the property offers remarkable privacy while remaining convenient to Downtown Long Grove, neighboring Kildeer, shopping, dining and award-winning Stevenson High School. Horses, chickens and other permitted animals provide additional possibilities for creating a truly unique estate. Extensive prior development planning and engineering have been completed by the previous owner and developer, significantly streamlining a potential development. Completed items include preliminary and final engineering, and a FEMA-issued Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA), which corrects the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to remove the designated portion of the property from Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). FEMA LOMA determination letter available upon request.
