625 E 1250th Ave, Oblong, IL 62449 - Crawford County

This unique Amish-owned property, located north of Oblong, Illinois, offers a rare combination of residential living, equestrian facilities, workshop space, and hunting ground. The modular home features 1,680 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms and two bathrooms. While the house is currently off-grid, utilizing well water and a generator for power, it is fully wired and equipped with a complete HVAC system that has not been used in several years. Rural water and electricity are available along the road, providing an easy opportunity to connect if desired. The property spans a diverse and functional landscape, including approximately 10 wooded acres to the west of the home. This area has served as a successful deer hunting spot for the current owners, aided by Willow Creek, which winds through the land and provides both a natural water source and a travel route for wildlife. Several fruit trees have been planted on the property, along with a strawberry patch and a large area designated for gardening, making it ideal for homesteading or sustainable living. Behind the main horse barn lies a stocked pond that not only adds to the property’s charm but also serves as a water source for livestock. Several smaller outbuildings offer additional storage and house the generator that currently powers the property. The main building is expansive and is divided into several functional areas. The west end contains a woodworking shop and office, heated by a wood boiler, and includes a small bathroom. Adjacent to this space is a laundry room and an area for storing canned goods. Beyond that is a large finishing room for woodworking projects, which is heated with in-floor radiant heat supplied by the wood boiler. Continuing through the building, you will find the impressive 200 ’ x 35’ main horse barn. It houses 26 stalls, a foaling stall with an adjoining bedroom for monitoring, hay storage, and multiple exits that lead to various pastures and paddock areas. In front of the barn is a fenced training area with a limestone track, perfect for conditioning horses. Additional storage space is available in a 126’x 33’ area past the stalls, and a 12’ wide lean-to runs along most of the barn’s north side, providing even more covered space for equipment or feed. This property is an excellent opportunity for someone with multiple horses, a desire to operate a boarding facility, or simply looking for a spacious and self-sufficient rural homestead. It offers the infrastructure and flexibility to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles and business ventures in a peaceful, natural setting.
