00 Il Route 64, Mount Morris, IL 61054

Description

This 10 +/- acre tract in Ogle County, Illinois sits along Route 64 just outside Mount Morris and is located next to the Ogle County Airport. Few properties in northern Illinois combine highway frontage, residential zoning, and direct runway access in a single parcel. The land is flat and square, which makes it straightforward to lay out and easy to picture with a home, a hangar, and a driveway system. With 700 +/- feet of road frontage on Route 64, the property offers visibility from the highway and a clear point of entry. The main draw is the airport. The property will have direct access to the 2,600 +/- foot grass runway, which opens the door to development tied to aviation. The property is zoned R1 Residential, so building a house plus a hangar is a possibility. It also offers the possibility of splitting into two buildable 5 +/- acre parcels. The setting is convenient to the region. The site is outside Mount Morris and near Oregon, Byron, and Rockford, with Beloit, Wisconsin and Chicago within reach by highway. Route 64 is the same corridor that runs east toward the Chicago area. The property is located in the heart of the Rock River Valley, a part of northern Illinois known for its rolling countryside and the Rock River winding through it. Outdoor recreation is close by, with Castle Rock State Park, Lowden State Park, and White Pines Forest State Park all within a short drive, offering hiking trails, river views, and paddling on the Rock River. Golfers have several courses nearby, including Sunset Golf Course in Mount Morris, Silver Ridge Golf Club in Oregon, and PrairieView Golf Club in Byron. Quaint towns such as Oregon and Mount Morris add local restaurants and small-town character, and White Pines Forest State Park has its own lodge restaurant. Buyers should confirm intended uses, any parcel split, utility availability, and runway access terms with Ogle County zoning and the airport before purchase.
