A Creek Runs Through It

When I first stepped foot on this property I literally fell to my knees in awe of the beauty. There were many offers on it but I had to have it so I offered well over asking price. It has been an adventure making it my own over the past 4 years. I even got a pet pig - Alice! I love sharing this beautiful piece of land with other nature lovers. It's rare to have property of this size with this beauty in a Chicago suburb. You feel like you're out in the middle of the woods yet if you drive 5 minutes to Randall road there's any restaurant or store you could ever need. I look forward to sharing this space with you!

Rehm Acres

Offering a great little spot to overnight as a rest area between Chicago and Milwaukee only 2 miles off of 294.  Nothing special but a low cost option to park and relax.  Do have a donkey and peacocks that can make noise and do have morning traffic, but the area is indeed rural and the property is relaxing.
Site is close to house but our property is your property during your stay.

The Commons Oak Savanna

Learn more about this land:
(NOTE) Greenwood Rd and Illinois Rt 120 are the same...Google uses Greenwood Rd, and the State prefers Illinois Rte 120)

Get away from it and commune with nature in a pre-settlement natural oak savanna with oaks and hickories of 200-400 years. 25-acre woodland completely fenced and surrounded by cropland and woods with no homes or roads within a half mile.  Experience the land as the nomadic Indian tribes saw it.  Trails cross the property. Hawks, owls, turkeys, and occasional bald eagles, along with finches, woodpeckers, doves, and martins fill the sky; while deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits roam the grounds.  Only two camps are available to keep the setting pristine and primitive and a third site can be used behind the sheds if you encounter unexpected weather.

Escape to Nature

This property is located on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Huntley.  It is only an hour west of Chicago.  

Our ducks, geese, turkeys and chickens will visit you, and you'll see likely see deer, raccoon, opossum, wild turkey, sandhill cranes, falcons, hawks, woodpeckers, coyotes and cardinals, all right from your seat in the backyard.

What to do here: 

Hike all over our six acres of wooded countryside and nearby forest preserves and conservation district parks.

If relaxation is your goal, order breakfast from our menu and skip the cooking.

Downtown Huntley hosts an assortment of festivals, free concerts, and celebrations throughout the year.  The Farmer's Market and antique shops are worth the visit. 

The Illinois Railway Museum, within 10 miles, is the largest railway museum in the United States. Enthusiasts come from all over to ride on steam, diesel, and electric trains.   Kids love Thomas the train and Percy too!

When you're ready for a faster pace, head into Chicago, where the city offers unlimited attractions, museums, and amazing restaurants.

We do not have full electric and water sites available.  Try the Kane County Forest Preserve for this at https://kaneforest.com/location/paul-wolff.
