Potential galore! County cabin could be a real money maker as a vacation rental, or turn it into your relaxing riverfront retreat. Here's the scoop: sale includes three PINs. The parcel with the cabin and garage is across the street from the Kankakee River, and per FEMA has a LOMA which removed the home and garage from the mandatory flood insurance zone. The other two parcels are on the river side of the road, with wonderful level areas for recreational use, 300+ feet of waterfront and direct access to the river for fishing, canoe, kayak, float trips...but cannot be built on. The cabin is about 600 square feet and consists of a large great room (living/kitchen/dining combo), one bedroom w/vaulted ceilings, full bath and a generous utility/laundry room that could be sectioned off to make another sitting area or den. Updated electric panel. Natural gas forced air heat. Detached 20x18 garage w/one car overhead door. Extra pod-type shed in back yard for more storage. It all needs work: bring your power tools and your vision! The waterfront parcels offer incredible views up and down river, right across the way from Shamrock Golf Course and close to the Rt 17 bridge. There is an existing set of steps (needs work too) to access the water. Clear away the scrub brush and open up that view! If you thought you couldn't afford your own little place, on the river...this just might be your sweet spot.

This is an As Is Sale. Seller will not provide any inspections/ survey to close. Utilities are not on. All room measurements are estimated, buyer/ buyers agent responsible for verifying.
