Property Description
11.3 Acres with Build Site and Private Lake Potential | Mercer County, Illinois
Located just 3.5 miles from downtown Aledo in Mercer County, Illinois, this 11.3-acre property offers an elevated building site, fenced pasture, and exceptional potential for a private lake. The property provides a versatile setting for a custom home, barndominium, hobby farm, horse property, or weekend retreat.
A gated entrance leads into a thoughtfully designed corral and livestock handling area that allows equipment and trailers to enter and exit without releasing livestock. The gently rolling pasture and hay ground are fully fenced for horses or cattle, while mature shade trees provide beauty, character, and shelter throughout the property.
Just above the entrance, an elevated and level building site overlooks the surrounding acreage. Three natural draws converge near the center of the property before narrowing between two hogback ridges near the road frontage. This unique topography creates an excellent opportunity to construct a dam and develop a private lake exceeding three acres, with the potential for more than 20 feet of water depth.
Situated within the Mercer County School District, the property offers peaceful country living close to Aledo's restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and community amenities. Whether your plans include livestock, recreation, a country residence, or a home overlooking the water, this acreage offers outstanding flexibility in a convenient rural location.
