Presenting an excellent opportunity at quality farmland in a highly desirable region of Lake County, just miles from the shores of Lake Michigan. This highly productive farm is located along the northern fringe of the Village of Wadsworth. The farm benefits from outstanding visibility, positioned on the corner of heavily traveled Rt. 173 and Delaney Road, with a traffic signal-controlled intersection. This nicely squared off tillable tract is easily accessible along Rt. 173 and Delaney Road both offering over 1200ft of road frontage. Electric utility is also available along both roads. The tract's collective topography is level to slightly rolling. Soils primarily consist of Ozaukee silt loam and Ashkum silt loam, with an average Productivity Index of 119.2. Farm tenancy is already in place for 2026, however, it remains open for the 2027 crop year. The tract currently sits within the Village's zoning, "B" for business use. Refer to the Village of Wadsworth's webpage for a comprehensive chart of permitted uses. Being located only a couple miles east of I-94, commuting north to Wisconsin or south to Chicago couldn't be made more convenient. This exceptional corner lot boasts a desirable square shape and impressive road frontage, making it an ideal candidate for future development. It's strategic location not only enhances visibility but also maximizes accessibility while offering immediate utility and long-term appreciation.

E
Estate District
The E, Estate and R-1 Districts are intended to accommodate low-density, large-lot residential development and to ensure the protection of areas that develop in such a manner. These districts are a higher density version of the very-low density RE District. Like the RE District, the E and R-1 Districts are expected to accommodate only a very small amount of the county’s overall housing needs. These districts primarily serve those households who desire to live in low-density estate areas and are willing to assume the costs of doing so. Because of the relatively sparse population in E-zoned and R-1-zoned areas, the county will not give high priority to the provision of public services in the areas. Instead, public service provision by the county will be concentrated in areas where more intense future development is called for by the Regional Framework Plan. The low densities permitted in the E and R-1 Districts generally permit in accordance with applicable Lake County Health Department rules; see Chapter 171 on-site, individual sewage disposal systems and wells, thereby reducing the need for inefficient public expenditures. The E and R-1 Districts are intended to implement and correspond to the Regional Framework Plan’s Residential-Medium Lot future land use designation.
