Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a 14+ acre farm just minutes from downtown Crystal Lake. This horse property was the former Shamrock Red Top Farm and zoned A-1 Agricultural! The expansive acreage offers space for trail riding, fishing in one of the two ponds, or relaxing in the shade provided by the many mature trees.This property offers major income potential with its SIX BUILDINGS. It boasts a 21-stall wood frame stable, including two mare and foal stalls. Most of the stalls contain large, sliding windows, and individual lighting. The stable features over 2,500 sq ft of hay loft space, a concrete center aisle, grain room, tack room/office, wash rack, and a viewing room that overlooks the massive indoor arena (approx 60' x 150'). There are four fenced pastures, as well as an additional field that offers plenty of room for outdoor riding, added pasture space, or use as your own hay field. With its hand-hewn beams and almost 30' ceilings, the vintage bank barn possesses the same rustic charm showcased in many popular wedding/event venues and highly sought after converted "barndominiums." The big, red bank barn features a concrete lower level, natural gas, electric, heat, and a newer roof. This farm also includes a 40' x 60' metal pole barn with concrete flooring and electric. There is also a wood frame pole barn/garage with concrete flooring, electric, propane and heat as well as an area for chickens adjacent to the the two barns on the property. There are two homes on this property. One is 3-bed/2-bath, and the other is 2-bed/1-bath. This property consists of two parcels. Property lines in photos are approximate. This property offers quick access to all of the urban amenities you desire without sacrificing the seclusion and peacefulness that rural settings offer. The Metra train, dining, entertainment, a brewery, shopping, and hometown favorites- The Raue Center and Veterans Acres- are all accessible by bike path. This gorgeous 14+ acre farm has approximately 350' of frontage along one of McHenry County's historic "Scenic Drive" roads. Tucked away next to a serene park and an undeveloped portion of school-owned property, in addition to its unique topography, this farm is quite literally a hidden gem. This property will be sold AS-IS.
