Herod house diagram Details about the Land County: Pope Type: Acreage w/House Acres: 15.5 Address: 949 State Hwy 34 City: Herod State: Illinois Zip: 62947 Price: $120,000.00 Status: Available Bedrooms: 2 Baths: 1 Square Feet: 1542 Description of the Land Dream Property for Hunters and Outdoor Enthusiasts A 1542 sq. ft. 2-bedroom, 1-bath house with 1-car attached garage and a 400 sq. ft. 2-car detached garage/pole barn are situated on 15.5 acres only .25 mile from highway and accessible by way of a private entrance road. Property is bordered on all sides by other private rural property and adjacent at its northwest corner to Shawnee National Forest land in Pope County, IL in an area known for its scenic beauty, equestrian riding and camping activity, and huge seasonal migration of bow and shotgun deer hunters. Property is only 6 miles by highway from the Garden of Gods Recreation Area, 22 miles from the Golconda Marina on the Ohio River, 15 miles southeast of Harrisburg, IL on IL Route 34, 35 miles southeast of Marion, IL (I-57 & airport), 50 miles north of Paducah, KY (I-24 & airport), 65 miles southwest of Evansville, IN (I-64 & airport), 155 miles southeast of St. Louis, 200 miles northwest of Nashville, TN and 300 miles south of Chicago. Property is unique in that it offers a great deal of seclusion and exposure to wildlife in spite of its close proximity to highway, and the house has a rustic feel in its surroundings. See VIRTUAL TOUR for additional pictures of property. The house has a spring-fed deep well and a lateral-type septic system. There is both a fire hydrant and public water access at the intersection of the entrance road and the highway. I built a virtually maintenance-free entrance road from the highway to the property, as well as a service road on the property that ends at the structures, in 1989. Improvements to the structures include the following: 1) New 200 amp electrical entrance in 1996; 2) New roof on house in 1999; 3) New vinyl siding, vinyl clad windows, entrance (2) and garage (1) doors, concrete porch and patio slabs, and HVAC system (heat pump) for house in 2007; 4) New window, entrance (1) and garage (2) doors, and partial replacement of metal siding and roof for detached garage/pole barn in 2007; and 5) Electrical enhancements to both structures in 2007. I have made every improvement from the perspective that I was going to own the property indefinitely. The attached garage and a portion of utility room could be easily converted into a master area. The great room accesses the small uncovered porch on the front of the house and the patio at the back. The interior of the house needs minor improvements including replacing the outdated carpet and linoleum throughout. The kitchen cabinets are handmade from oak, and the countertops are tan wood-grained (butcher block) Formica. There is paneling on the walls throughout the house. Also, I would consider selling some of the furnishings with the house. With the exception of the areas surrounding the structures and the service road, the property is covered in timber. To the best of my knowledge, the timber has never been cut, and a conservative harvest of the timber would create revenue to offset the cost of purchasing the property. I bought the property which included the existing structures in 1983. The property was surveyed in 2007 and is narrow east/west and long north/south. The house faces west and is located close to the east property line on the northernmost 5.5 acres of the property. 2009 property tax payable 2010 is $1,572. Appraised value as of October 2010 is $129,000. There are at least 3 suitable cabin sites in the wooded areas close to the house and service road on the northernmost 5.5 acres and, of course, numerous cabin sites on the southernmost 10 acres of the property. The most natural access to the southernmost 10 acres is by way of the area between the house and the detached garage/pole barn. A neighboring land owner has told me several times since he became a local resident that "The people that buy your house will know they're going to buy it as they drive up the road the first time before they ever get out of the vehicle."
