About This Home

As of March 2026

Welcome to your private 22+ acre retreat in Gardner, IL - 7035 East Scully Rd & 7000 Scully Rd! Where unmatched privacy, outdoor adventure, and endless potential meet. This expansive property features 10-12 acres of mature wooded land, complete with established trails perfect for hiking, off-roading, horseback riding, or scenic nature walks. A private pond and a creek running along the property line offer seasonal fishing and add to the serene natural beauty. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the prime hunting grounds, abundant with local game, and the convenience of an already-built hunter's blind and game-cleaning station. The wooded acreage also provides incredible opportunities for paintball courses, camping, or additional recreational uses. Beyond the woods, the property includes large flat open areas, ideal for future barns, stables, pastures, or other agricultural uses. A barn is already on site, offering immediate functionality for storage, equipment, animals, or hobby use. Located at the end of a quiet, dead-end road, there is zero through-traffic, and the nearest neighboring property is a mile or two away-providing rare, true seclusion for anyone seeking space, freedom, and privacy. The single-family home on the property is currently undergoing renovation and offers an excellent layout with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a full basement. Buyers have a unique opportunity to purchase the home AS-IS at this special price, allowing you to complete the renovations to your own style. Properties like this are extremely rare-22+ acres, a single-family home, garage, and barn, all in a private setting with limitless outdoor potential. A true one-of-a-kind opportunity in Gardner, IL.
