69± AC Florence Township Farm

** Under Contract **

Property Overview

This 68.82±-acre tract in Florence Township is a quality addition for an area grain operation or land investor: a PI ~125.9 soil package, quiet paved-corridor frontage southeast of Wilmington, and quick access to I-55 and the Joliet employment corridor.

• 68.82± acres (tax record, two parcels; final by survey) in Florence Township, Will County
• Weighted productivity index ~125.9 (Illinois Bulletin 811) — Elliott, Ashkum & Symerton soils
• Gently rolling ground (avg slope ~1.2%); majority FEMA Zone X with a mapped Zone A band along the creek drainage
• S Old Chicago Road frontage; ~4 mi to Wilmington and ~9 road mi to I-55 (Exits 238/240)
• Adjacent to the Wauponsee Glacial Trail corridor; Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie ~5 mi; Kankakee River ~4 mi
• Boundary survey to be provided; mineral rights convey to buyer

The farm. Elliott silt loam (~57% across two phases), Ashkum silty clay loam (~26%) and Symerton silt loam (~17%) combine for a weighted PI of ~125.9 (Illinois Bulletin 811) — comfortably above the county norm for a tract of this size. Elevations run 605–625 ft with an average slope near 1.2%. About 73% of the mapped boundary is FEMA Zone X (minimal flood hazard); the balance is mapped Zone A (100-year) along the Forked Creek drainage corridor, with a small NWI riverine feature (~0.5 ac).

Location & access. The farm fronts S Old Chicago Road — the historic Route 66 corridor — with the Wauponsee Glacial Trail running along the road corridor. Wilmington and IL 53/IL 102 are about four miles northwest, and I-55 access at Exit 238 (IL 129) or Exit 240 (Lorenzo Rd) is roughly nine road miles, putting the Elion Logistics Park 55 and the greater Joliet intermodal corridor within an easy drive.

Area strength. Florence Township sits in a durable farm neighborhood ringed by long-term demand drivers: the 20,000-acre Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie to the northwest, the Kankakee River to the south, and the I-55 logistics corridor at Wilmington. The proposed South Suburban Airport site lies ~17 miles east — long-horizon context for patient land capital.
