About This Home

As of November 2025

For the first time in over 33 years, this remarkable 404 +/- acre estate near Tiskilwa, Illinois, is available-a meticulously crafted sanctuary blending natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and investment potential. Established by the Chidgey family in 1991, this property features rolling hills, mature hardwood forests, and a 6-acre spring-fed lake, creating an ideal retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. With 125 acres of income-producing farmland, extensive ATV trails, and thriving wildlife populations-including trophy whitetails and wild turkeys-this estate is a rare find. Just two hours from Chicago, and 30-45 minutes from Illinois Valley Regional Airport (VYS) and Quad Cities International Airport (MLI), it offers both seclusion and accessibility. The heart of the property is a private barndominium compound, featuring a 1,500 square-foot rustic cabin with a wood-burning fireplace for cozy gatherings, alongside a heated 30'x60' workshop perfect for equipment and storage. High-speed Starlink internet ensures connectivity, making it perfect for remote work or a peaceful escape. The land's diverse topography-high ridges, creek bottoms, and a pristine lake-invites exploration, whether hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the scenic views. Thoughtfully managed trails provide easy access to every corner, from food plots to secluded wildlife areas, ensuring endless opportunities for adventure. Beyond its recreational allure, this estate offers strong financial potential with 125 tillable acres generating steady farm income, plus marketable timber and opportunities for conservation programs. For over three decades, the owners shaped this land into a legacy, raising their family amid its woods and waters. Whether you seek a hunting and fishing haven, a family retreat, or a lasting investment, this property delivers. Private showings are available for qualified buyers only; proof of funds or pre-qualification is required to experience this extraordinary sanctuary. This land has been cared for and cherished with a focus on stewardship, wildlife, and legacy. As the saying goes, "It's not ours, it's just our turn." Now, your turn is next-to write the next chapter of this remarkable Bureau County estate.
