Cook County, IL land for sale

At over 1 million acres, Cook County is the largest county in Illinois, although around 441,000 acres are water thanks mostly to Lake Michigan. The Forest Preserve District protects over 69,000 acres of natural land or 11% of Cook County's total area. Waterways, prairies, and woodlands provide opportunities for outdoor recreation such as hiking, biking, and bird watching.

Although a large portion of Cook County land has been developed, especially in Chicago, you can still find medium-sized parcels including farmland, development sites, and residential estates. The majority of land for sale in Cook County will be smaller residential lots and commercial properties.
