Land for Sale in Golconda, Illinois

This 28-acre tract is a great spot to build your home and start a mini farm. The land has gentle, rolling terrain and sits along two county roads-Clark Road and Coonhunters Road-just outside of Golconda in Pope County. From the highest point, the views are beautiful and really show off the countryside. City water (Millstone) and electric are available along both roads, making it even easier to get started. Coonhunters Road is an oil-and-chip road located between the Eddyville Blacktop and Illinois Route 146, so getting around is simple and convenient. The area feels rural and private, but you're still close to Golconda and the Golconda Marina. Golconda is a quiet small town that hosts popular events like the Pope County Deer Festival, the Shrimp Festival, and other gatherings on the historic courthouse square. You'll find local favorites like the Dari Barr, Diver Down, and Lusk Creek Bar and Grill in Golconda, or you can take a short drive to Eddyville and grab a bite at Shotgun Eddy's. The town also has a nice hardware store, a pharmacy, and a Dollar General-so everyday needs are close by. It's true country living with the convenience of town just a few miles away. The area is well known for whitetail deer hunting, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding, with the Shawnee National Forest nearby. Pope County Elementary and High School are also a short drive away, making it easy to get to school events and ballgames. This is a great piece of land that's ready for you to make it your own.
