Property Description

This 13.41-acre timbered property located in Stephenson County offers a manageable piece of ground with access, cover, and flexibility for a range of uses. Situated north of Freeport near the Northern Hills subdivision and Willow Lake area, the property provides a quiet setting while still being within a short drive of town and nearby amenities. Access to the property is provided from Jay Street, where a gated entrance helps define the entry point. From there, a trail system runs through the property, allowing for easy navigation across the land. The established trails make it simple to walk or ride through the property and access different areas without needing to clear additional paths right away. The majority of the acreage consists of timber, creating a natural setting that supports wildlife and offers privacy from surrounding areas. The wooded terrain provides cover and a setting that can be used for recreation, such as hiking, wildlife observation, or seasonal use. The presence of timber also allows for potential management or clearing projects, depending on a buyer's plans and local guidelines. On the western side of the property, there are areas that open up compared to the heavier timber. These spaces could be further cleared with basic equipment to create room for camping, outdoor gathering areas, or a potential building location. The layout of the property gives a buyer options to shape the land based on how they intend to use it. According to county records, the property is zoned E1 Estate Residential and is considered a buildable lot. This provides an opportunity for residential use, subject to local approvals and requirements. Buyers should verify building plans, utilities, and zoning details with the county to ensure the property fits their intended use. This property can appeal to a variety of buyers. It may suit someone looking for a recreational getaway, a place to spend time outdoors, or a nearby landowner looking to add additional acreage. The size makes it manageable, while the location near existing residential areas provides access without being fully exposed. The combination of timber, trails, and access gives this property a functional layout for its size. Whether used for recreation, a future building site, or simply additional space, it offers a setting that can be adapted over time. Its proximity to Freeport and surrounding communities allows for convenience while still maintaining a sense of separation from town.
