McHenry, US
Prime 174 +/- acre tillable farm offering the best of both worlds: immediate high-quality row-crop income and exceptional long-term commercial/industrial development potential. Located at the highly visible northeast corner of Rose Farm Road and US Highway 14 (Route 14) between Woodstock and Harvard, this property delivers outstanding dual-road frontage, highway access from both directions, and heavy traffic exposure. The land is currently operated as clean, building-free row-crop farmland in active agricultural production. Terrain is level to gently rolling with predominantly high-quality silt loam soils and strong PI scores (119.6 average) that support excellent corn and soybean yields with reliable income and minimal inputs. A small pond and wooded buffers enhance the northern portion, which also features quality waterfowl hunting with two established duck blinds in a natural wetland/flood-prone area. Strategically positioned between two growing communities just 12 miles apart, this prime corner location is ideal for a gas station, convenience store, retail center, light industrial park, or mixed-use development. There is currently no fuel or convenience retail along Route 14 between Woodstock and Harvard, creating a rare opportunity to capture significant highway traffic. Whether you are a farmer, developer, or investor, this versatile property provides immediate farm income today while holding substantial upside in one of northern Illinois' most desirable growth corridors. Easy access to Chicago Rockford International (45 mi) and O'Hare (49 mi). Do not miss this rare combination of productive farmland and prime commercial location.
