Description
RARE 20+ ACRE HILLTOP EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY! Located in an equestrian-friendly community and directly adjacent to the "Head of the Trail" leading into the expansive 3,006-acre Lakewood Forest Preserve. Enjoy immediate access to a network of approximately 25.1 continuous miles of trails throughout the preserve, offering opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking and more. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling and ice fishing. The preserve trail entrance is conveniently walk-on ready from the property. This exceptional parcel is situated at one of the highest elevation points in Lake County offering beautiful views and a unique opportunity to create a private estate, equestrian property or potential residential development. The property is currently zoned Estate/Agriculture and stands dividable into approximately 5-7 two-acre parcels, subject to Lake County parcel design approval and applicable zoning and subdivision requirements. A truly rare opportunity to own 20+ acres in a desirable equestrian setting with direct access to one of Lake County's premier forest preserves. The property includes an existing habitable home but needs updating, and a barn that is not suitable for use in its current condition. Please do not enter the home or barn. EXCEPTIONAL EQUESTRIAN LOCATION! Beyond the immediate access to the Lakewood Forest Preserve trail system, this property is conveniently located within reach of numerous established equestrian clubs, riding centers and polo facilities throughout the greater Chicago area. Nearby and regional equestrian destinations include Broken Arrow Horseback Riding Club, "Equstria" at the University of Chicago, Saddle & Cycle Club, Freedom Woods in Morton Grove, Memory Lane Stables in Willow Springs, Chicago Polo Association facilities including Oak Brook Polo Club, Barrington Hills Polo Club and Blackberry Polo Club, Chicago Polo Academy and Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton.
