Description
This unique property sits on 13.78 M/L acres of pure undeveloped rural land in Macoupin County, and includes approximately 7-8 acres of flat, level terrain. The remainder of the property includes a large hill viewable from I-55. Once the site of the No. 7 Staunton Mine, one of the longest continuously operated underground coal mining sites in the region, it was actively mined from 1881 to 1952. Mine reclamation was performed in 1984 by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and you can still find several old vintage tractors on the property, telling the story of this incredible piece of history! There were originally 2 mine shafts located on the property, which were sealed and buried many years ago. Seller does not know their precise locations. The possibilities are limitless. Use it for ATVs, paintball, storage, RV parking, salvage...there's many options available to a savvy investor, as this property is outside of city limits and subject to no city ordinances or restrictions, to the best of seller's knowledge. Notice to Buyers: Those who seek to build permanent structures on this site should perform their own due diligence. The water in the pond to the north of Herman Rd is fenced off by the IL DNR, as it contains red algae and mine runoff. Ameren has advised that electricity is available at the SW corner of the property at Herman Rd. Likewise, Staunton water and sewer are also available at or about the property line.
