Property Description
216± Acre Private Lake Estate with Homes and Hunting | Henry County, Illinois
Tucked away at the end of a half-mile private drive, this remarkable 216± acre Henry County estate offers exceptional privacy, private-lake access, hunting, and year-round recreation just 5.5 miles north of Geneseo, Illinois. Located in the Geneseo School District and within easy reach of the Quad Cities, the property sits along Shadow Lake, an approximately 95-acre privately owned lake shared by only a handful of neighboring landowners.
The property includes an impressive 52± acres of water and more than 1.5 miles of shoreline. Shadow Lake offers outstanding opportunities for boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and summer recreation. During the fall, the lake becomes a proven waterfowl destination, while the surrounding timber provides strong whitetail habitat and consistent deer hunting. The land is predominantly wooded with mature hardwood timber, established hardwood plantings completed over the past 20 to 30 years, an extensive UTV trail system, and three established food plot locations.
At the heart of the property is a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath main residence built in 1990 beneath towering mature oaks. The 6,480-square-foot home features an open kitchen with a large island, adjoining dining area, expansive windows, full-length glass doors, and a walk-out lower-level family room. An open staircase connects the lower level to the main floor, while a large rear deck overlooks the surrounding woods and private landscape.
Further down the drive is a 930+ square-foot guest or caretaker’s residence with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a breezeway or foyer, and an attached two-car garage. A 30'x60' equipment shed provides ample storage for tractors, UTVs, tools, and recreational equipment. Private well and septic systems, two owned 1,000-gallon LP tanks, lake frontage, and convenient access to Geneseo and the Quad Cities make this property well suited for a full-time residence, legacy family retreat, or premier recreational estate.
