Overview

This 5-acre parcel includes a spacious 60' x 40' shed with overhead doors on both ends, plus an included car lift. Off the back of the shed, a concrete patio with an attached deck provides outdoor space. An RV plug-in is already in place, and electric is currently the only utility serving the property. The acreage features a mix of partially wooded ground and open areas with views.

The property is located in Galena, Illinois at 283 Pilot Knob Road. The listing notes that Jo Daviess County zoning rules apply to any home construction on the site, which would require a special use permitting process. The information provided emphasizes that buyers should confirm zoning, permitted uses, and utility availability with the appropriate county offices.

Designed for flexibility, the combination of shed space, outdoor improvements, and RV hook-up supports a variety of practical uses such as storage for boats or equipment, hobby and gardening space, or a recreational getaway. For those considering a future homesite or a potential small business location, the zoning requirement should be reviewed early to understand the path to development and the range of allowable uses.
