Property Description

Not every piece of ground is meant to be developed - and this one makes no secret of it. If you've been watching this ground and waiting for the right opportunity, it's here. Whether you're a neighboring landowner looking to expand your footprint, an organization seeking outdoor space in an established community, or a government entity or nonprofit with an eye toward green space, trails, or natural stormwater management, this parcel deserves a hard look. Mule Creek and a tributary wind through the property, the property has a tree canopy, and city utilities are already available to the site. The floodplain designation limits traditional development - and that's exactly what keeps this ground natural, quiet, and buffered from the surrounding city. Twenty acres of wooded ground in the Marion, IL area, offered as land only. The majority of this parcel lies within FEMA-designated flood zones, including Zone AE and a mapped floodway corridor - buyers and their lenders should review current FEMA flood maps and consult with their insurance agent prior to purchase. An area of higher ground is located in the mid-west portion of the parcel. The property features woods, Mule Creek and a tributary, and road frontage on E. Everett Street. Additional access is available via S. Fair Street and E. Pickett Lane; note that these secondary access approaches are also within the floodplain. City utilities available to the site include electric, gas, water, and public sewer. Well-suited for recreational use, wildlife habitat, or long-term land investment. Seller will satisfy all outstanding tax obligations from sale proceeds at closing to convey clear title. Sold as-is. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding flood zone classification, zoning, and permitted use.
