Property Overview
This 75± acre offering (final acreage by survey) lies in Section 17 of Wilton Township, Will County, with frontage on West Arsenal Road. 68.75 tillable acres carrying a weighted Illinois State Productivity Index of 118.1 with a scenic, wooded creek corridor along the south and southwest of the farm.
- 75± total acres across two parcels; ~68.75 tillable (final by survey)
- Weighted PI 118.1; productive Varna, Ashkum, Ozaukee, Pella & Elliott soils
- Wooded creek corridor — recreation & hunting appeal
- Frontage on West Arsenal Road; I-55 Arsenal Rd interchange (Exit 245) ~4.5 mi
- CenterPoint Intermodal (Elwood) ~5.8 mi; Manhattan & Metra ~5–6 mi north
- Minerals convey; possession at closing; survey by seller
Soils are led by Varna, Ashkum, Ozaukee, Pella, and Elliott on level to gently rolling ground (elevation 643–692 ft). Woods and Creek are adding genuine recreational and hunting appeal not captured by the productivity index. West Arsenal Road runs west to the Interstate 55 Arsenal Road interchange (Exit 245) about 4.5 miles away, and the CenterPoint Intermodal Center at Elwood — North America’s largest inland port — is roughly 5.8 miles away.
Beyond near-term farm income, the property offers a long-term development opportunity given its position in the growing I-55 / CenterPoint logistics corridor. Minerals convey and possession is delivered at closing. This is a strong fit for the farmer-operator expanding a quality land base, the recreational buyer who wants tillable income with a creek and timber, or the investor positioning ground in a high-growth Will County corridor.
