01About this home

If you have ever dreamed of owning a significant slice of land without the high price tag or overwhelming maintenance, this is your rare opportunity to secure a 2.5-acre private retreat in unincorporated Manhattan. Perfectly positioned to offer a balance of open space and secluded nature, this split level home is fully livable and ready for you to move in today while you bring your long-term vision to life. The heavy lifting has already begun with brand-new windows and exterior doors recently installed throughout the main level, providing a solid, energy-efficient foundation. Whether you imagine creating a sleek modern farmhouse or a cozy rustic getaway, the interior is a clean slate where you can tackle projects at your own pace, transforming the existing floor plan into the ultimate entertaining space. The lifestyle appeal extends far beyond the home itself, featuring a massive detached garage in addition to the attached unit. Equipped with 220-amp service-which is also mirrored in the home-this is the dream setup for car enthusiasts, tradespeople in need of a full-time shop, or hobbyists seeking a dedicated "tinker" space. Here, you can live the farm dream without the sunrise-to-sunset chores; the front portion of the lot is easily maintained, while the back half transitions into a winding, private forest that provides a serene, low-maintenance connection to the outdoors and total privacy. Because this property is zoned E-2 and nestled within a township surrounded by A-1 agricultural land, you benefit from "Right to Farm" protections that ensure your rural landscape remains preserved. Living in unincorporated Will County offers a sense of freedom and flexibility for property customizations and larger outbuildings that you simply won't find within village limits, often coupled with the benefit of lower property taxes. Bring your tools, your vision, and your dreams to a property where the possibilities are truly endless. Schedule your tour this weekend and see how this unique acreage can become the backdrop for your new lifestyle.
