The property includes approximately 120 feet of river frontage protected by a solid sea wall, along with piers for use from the water side. Outdoor amenities already on site include a custom 10x12 shed and an outdoor pizza oven, supporting both day-to-day recreation and informal entertaining. The layout also provides an outdoor area geared toward boating, fishing, kayaking, and relaxing by the water.

The property is located at 5065 Browns Beach Road in Rockford, IL on a quiet dead-end private road with very little traffic, offering a private setting for building. Parking area is available for boats, trailers, campers, and recreational equipment, which supports a lifestyle centered on weekend and seasonal use.

For buyers planning to construct a residence, the site is set up to support water-related activities while maintaining a secluded feel.
