9.92± AC Manteno I-57 Frontage Farm

** New Listing **

Property Overview

9.92± acres of Kankakee County farmland with genuine dual road frontage — approx. 794 feet along Interstate 57 and approx. 742 feet along N-1000E Rd — in Manteno Township, Illinois, at the north end of the Kankakee-Bourbonnais-Bradley metro area and minutes from one of the fastest-growing logistics corridors in the Chicago Southland.

• 9.92± tax-record acres; final acreage by survey
• Approx. 794 ft of I-57 frontage (visibility/exposure) and approx. 742 ft of frontage and access on N-1000E Rd
• Currently row-crop farmland; Productivity Index 126.5
• Soils led by Tallmadge sandy loam (57.8%) and Pella silty clay loam (34.0%)
• Minutes from I-57 Exit 322 (IL Route 50, downtown Manteno) and the newer Exit 318 industrial corridor
• Near Manteno’s expanding logistics/industrial base — Diversatech Industrial Park, an active TIF district, and a designated Enterprise Zone
• All seller-owned mineral rights convey; possession at closing
• 2024 real estate taxes: $433 total

The tract is essentially level — 653.5 to 657.5 feet of elevation, just 4.0 feet of relief — and carries a weighted Productivity Index of 126.5, led by Tallmadge sandy loam and Pella silty clay loam. Per FEMA panel 17091C0205E, the majority of the parcel, 7.81± acres (81.4%), lies within the mapped 100-year floodplain (Zone A); the remaining 1.78± acres (18.6%) sit in Zone X, outside the 500-year floodplain, concentrated in the northeast corner along the N-1000E Rd frontage. No wetlands are mapped on the property per the National Wetlands Inventory.

Highway visibility is the standout feature. The property fronts the I-57 right-of-way directly; because the interstate is limited-access, that frontage is exposure rather than a driveway cut, and day-to-day access is from N-1000E Rd, a paved county road running the full east boundary. The nearest interchange is I-57 Exit 322 (Illinois Route 50/Locust St), Manteno’s main interchange and retail core, approx. 1.7 miles away; Exit 318 (Bourbonnais Parkway), opened in 2018 specifically to open access to more than 1,000 acres of industrial land, sits a short distance south.

Manteno anchors the north end of the Kankakee-Bourbonnais-Bradley, IL metro area and has become an active distribution and logistics node along the I-57 corridor, anchored by the Diversatech Industrial Park, an active Tax Increment Financing district, and a designated Enterprise Zone. With the large majority of the tract mapped within the 100-year floodplain, the property’s near-term value is its I-57 visibility and continued farm income; the higher ground fronting N-1000E Rd offers a starting point for buyers exploring longer-term road-frontage uses, subject to floodplain and zoning review. Schools are in Manteno CUSD 5 (Manteno Elementary, Middle, and Community High School).
