Rare opportunity to own 7.17 acres in unincorporated Johnsburg with desirable A-1 Agricultural zoning and endless possibilities for future use. Whether you're looking to establish an agricultural operation, create a private estate, or explore one of the many permitted uses under A-1 zoning, this property offers exceptional flexibility and privacy. Permitted uses include agriculture, animal care shelter, cannabis craft grower or cultivation center, conservation uses, educational facility, greenhouse and nursery, horse arena and stable, landscape business (with no outside storage), and more. Alternatively, take advantage of the secluded setting and build your dream home surrounded by nature and open space. The property currently includes an approximately 1,600 square foot residence. The home requires significant repair and updating and is being conveyed in its current condition. Due to the condition of the property, financing options may be limited to cash buyers or renovation loan programs. The home will not be emptied prior to closing, and not all areas of the residence are accessible for viewing. A unique opportunity for investors, developers, hobby farmers, equestrian enthusiasts, or anyone seeking acreage, privacy, and potential in a desirable McHenry County location.
