Located just minutes from beautiful downtown Crystal Lake, this property offers quick access to all of the urban amenities you desire without sacrificing the seclusion and peacefulness that rural settings offer.

This gorgeous 14+ acre farm has approximately 350' of frontage along one of McHenry County's historic Scenic Drive roads. Tucked away next to a serene park and an undeveloped portion of school-owned property, in addition to its unique topography, this farm is quite literally a hidden gem. The expansive acreage offers space for trail riding, fishing in one of the two ponds, or relaxing in the shade provided by the many mature trees.
