Situated north of Freeport near the Northern Hills subdivision and Willow Lake area, the property provides a quiet setting while still being within a short drive of town and nearby amenities.

The majority of the acreage consists of timber, creating a natural setting that supports wildlife and offers privacy from surrounding areas. The wooded terrain provides cover and a setting that can be used for recreation, such as hiking, wildlife observation, or seasonal use.

These spaces could be further cleared with basic equipment to create room for camping, outdoor gathering areas, or a potential building location. The layout of the property gives a buyer options to shape the land based on how they intend to use it. According to county records, the property is zoned E1 Estate Residential and is considered a buildable lot. This provides an opportunity for residential use, subject to local approvals and requirements. Buyers should verify building plans, utilities, and zoning details with the county to ensure the property fits their intended use. This property can appeal to a variety of buyers. It may suit someone looking for a recreational getaway, a place to spend time outdoors, or a nearby landowner looking to add additional acreage. The size makes it manageable, while the location near existing residential areas provides access without being fully exposed. The combination of timber, trails, and access gives this property a functional layout for its size. Whether used for recreation, a future building site, or simply additional space, it offers a setting that can be adapted over time. Its proximity to Freeport and surrounding communities allows for convenience while still maintaining a sense of separation from town.

10 Acres

Capron, Illinois, 61012

If you've ever dreamed of owning a piece of Northern Wisconsin but didn't want the long drive north, this 10-acre property in eastern Boone County deserves a look. Tucked away on a lightly traveled hard-surfaced road north of Capron, this tract offers a private setting surrounded by mature pines, timber, agriculture, and abundant wildlife while remaining conveniently located near major roadways and everyday amenities. From the moment you pull onto the property, it's easy to appreciate the work that has already been completed. A newly installed 30-foot-wide lane welcomes you onto the property and guides you through rows of planted pine trees. As you travel deeper into the acreage, the driveway opens into a thoughtfully cleared interior area that serves as the heart of the property. Approximately two acres have been cleared and prepared, creating a strong foundation for future plans. Whether you're considering a custom home, barndominium, or country retreat, the groundwork has already been started. The cleared area offers multiple potential building locations, allowing future owners the flexibility to choose the setting that best fits their vision. Several mature trees have been left standing throughout the opening, providing natural shade and helping maintain the character of the landscape. One of the most attractive features of this property is the mature pine cover that surrounds much of the acreage. The pines create a natural visual screen around the property and contribute to the quiet setting that makes this tract feel much larger than its 10 acres. The combination of established pines, interior clearings, and surrounding habitat creates an environment that supports a variety of wildlife throughout the year. The property is zoned Ag-1 and is a buildable lot. A perc test has already been completed, helping simplify the planning process for future construction. Natural gas and electrical service are available at the road, providing access to important utilities when you're ready to build. Whether your timeline is immediate or years down the road, the property offers flexibility for future development. Wildlife sign can be found throughout the area, and the surrounding mix of timber and agricultural fields creates quality habitat for deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. The property's layout provides opportunities to enjoy nature right out your back door while maintaining the privacy many buyers are looking for in a rural setting. Location is another major advantage. While the property feels secluded, it remains conveniently positioned near Route 173 and Interstate 90. Commuters can reach Rockford, Beloit, and the greater Chicagoland area without sacrificing the quiet country setting that makes this property special. Whether you're heading to work, running errands, or traveling for recreation, the road access makes getting there straightforward. The property is located within the North Boone School District. Finding a buildable acreage with mature pines, completed site improvements, utility access, and a setting that feels removed from the hustle of everyday life can be challenging.

Whether you're ready to build now or planning for the future, this is a property worth walking to fully appreciate everything it has to offer.
