Land with Home for Sale in Cantrall, Illinois

Imagine ending the day on your porch overlooking your own 1 acre pond, watching the sunset over the water while your boat waits at the dock. Just minutes from Springfield, this rare 16 acre Cantrall property offers the kind of country lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. The professionally engineered, stocked pond features bass, bluegill and catfish, two aeration systems, excellent water quality, a dock, and is beautifully positioned as the centerpiece of the property. Beyond the pond, explore timber, a creek, wooded trails and wildflower prairie, with approximately 10 acres of tillable ground providing annual cash rent. For the hobbyist, collector or outdoor enthusiast, the outbuildings are exceptional: a massive machine shed with a second level loft offering future finishing potential; an oversized detached garage/workshop with room for multiple vehicles, a wood burning stove and space to entertain; plus an additional machine shed/potting area with covered patio. The home offers a walk in pantry, poured concrete foundation, generator and reverse osmosis system, along with Anderson windows (2025), new septic (2025), covered porch and concrete patio (2024), new roof on garage (2026), and a 2013 steel roof on the shop. A horse shelter with its own cistern adds even more versatility. This isn't simply acreage with a house...it's a private recreational retreat, hobby property and country escape, with STUNNING views, all within easy reach of Springfield.
