A Legacy Recreational Estate Unlike Any Other. Imagine owning your own private island in the heart of Southern Illinois. Tucked away behind a gated entrance and approached by a paved drive, this extraordinary 117.36 +/- acre estate offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, recreation, and impressive craftsmanship. At the heart of the property is an approximately 8 +/- acre island, surrounded by a beautiful 15 +/- acre private lake and accessed by a land bridge crossing the water. It's a setting that truly must be experienced to appreciate. The centerpiece of the estate is a magnificent Town & Country log home, constructed with white cedar hybrid logs, beautiful ornamental stonework, solid cherry interior doors, and quality finishes throughout. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the home offers four bedrooms, spacious gathering areas, and an abundance of character. Inside, you'll find multiple fireplaces, a dedicated home theater room, a walk-in safe/gun room, and a primary suite designed for comfort and relaxation. Thoughtful features include a lake-fed water purification system and zoned heating and cooling. Outdoor living is just as impressive. Above the attached garage, an expansive entertaining patio that overlooks the lake, creating an unforgettable setting for gatherings, celebrations, or quiet evenings watching the water. The surrounding acreage and peaceful lake views provide a sense of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. Beyond the island, the estate includes 38.31 acres of tillable farmland, adding an agricultural component to this exceptional recreational property. With a combination of water, farmland, and expansive acreage, the opportunities for outdoor enjoyment are abundant. Could this be your family's legacy property? A place where generations gather, holidays are celebrated, and memories are made? Or perhaps an exclusive corporate retreat where colleagues and guests can escape the everyday and reconnect in a truly remarkable setting. Whether envisioned as a private residence, recreational getaway, multigenerational family retreat, or corporate gathering destination, this property offers something increasingly rare: the space, privacy, and setting to create a legacy of your own. Property also includes parcels 20-04.0-100-008, 20-04.0-100-003. 117.36 +/- acres. A private island. A 15+/- acre lake. One extraordinary opportunity.
