Description
Are you seeking a tract that is near some of the best hiking and horseback riding trails in Southern Illinois? You can own a tract within a short hike to Sand Cave. This 10-acre tract is located just of Cedar Grove Road on Sand Cave Road in Pope County, Illinois. The property is mostly open with some trees disbursed throughout. There is a pond near the back of the property. With some cleanup, this tract will be beautiful and in a great location for a horseback rider or hiker. There are maps shown in the photos which depict how close this property is to the hiking and riding trails. Plus, there is access to city water, electricity and high-speed internet. Here is an excerpt from a Shawnee National Forest web site describing this area, "Check out Sand Cave, a little-known historical gem of Shawnee National Forest! Take in a unique sampling of the original landscape of Illinois, while hiking an easy walking trail to what is known as the largest sandstone cave in North America! The mouth of Sand Cave is nearly 30 feet wide and set into the rock approximately 100 feet constituting a jaw-dropping experience for any hiker or equestrian." I have personally been to Sand Cave many times throughout my life, and it is beautiful. There are so many things within a short drive of this property, which includes, Lake Glendale which offers fishing and a sandy beach, Dixon Springs State Park with a beautiful public pool and beautiful rock formations, Ferne Clyffe State Park, Bell Smith Springs, Jackson Falls and so many more. Call to schedule your appointment to see this tract.
