Due to the long triangular shape of the parcel, there is nearly a half mile of river frontage. The farmhouse and several outbuildings could be cleaned up to act as field dry labs and storage areas. Located about 25 miles east of the UIUC campus. Only partial fencing remains on the east and north side of the property. Vehicle access to the property and buildings nearly year around and marginal, dry weather vehicle access to the river bottom.
Agricultural land abuts to about half of the eastern boundary and across the river on the west side.
Woods abut to the rest of the property. Acquired in 1989. The steep south facing slope is denser, young, successional growth. There is an artesian spring on the wooded slope in the southwestern corner of the property. A system of marked grid posts, at 50 meter intervals, is in place.
