Price listed is Starting Bid Only. Bidding starts closing 6/30/2026 @ 5 p.m. Rare opportunity to acquire these 74.62± acres of wooded land offering residential development potential, income generation through harvesting mature timber, or exceptional recreational use in Columbia, IL! The property is accessed off Wiltshire Drive within the highly sought-after Stonehenge Subdivision, conveniently located between Columbia and Millstadt and just minutes from IL-3 and IL-158. This scenic tract features waterfront frontage along the subdivision lake along with a cleared path providing access through the acreage, making it ideal for exploring, hunting, or future residential development. Public water, public sewer, and connection to the community propane system are all available to the property, enhancing its development potential and reducing infrastructure costs for future improvements. The property is zoned A-Agriculture and falls within the St. Clair County zoning jurisdiction. Any use not currently permitted under the existing zoning classification would require approval from St. Clair County authorities. An annual HOA/LOA assessment of approximately $4,173 applies for lake maintenance and is prorated based on shoreline frontage. The property also benefits from a shared easement for dam maintenance utilized by the Stonehenge LOA. Because the dam is owned and maintained by the LOA, access across the easement is required periodically, typically once or twice per year, to allow for inspections and maintenance activities. This easement may be vacated in the future if streets are constructed as part of a development plan, and any future roadway layout would not be required to follow the existing easement alignment. The property presents significant development opportunities, including a proposed subdivision layout that was approved by the City of Columbia in 2023. Updated approval from the Columbia Plan Commission and City Council would still be required prior to development. Any prospective buyer should be aware that development of this property will require initiation of a new subdivision approval process, including submission of a new preliminary plat, review by the Columbia Plan Commission, and approval by the Columbia City Council to ensure compliance with all current zoning regulations, subdivision ordinances, and comprehensive planning objectives. While county approval would also be required, the proposed concept conforms to current zoning regulations and applicable state and local requirements and would not require zoning variances. Buyers should also note that a bridge serving the area is not located on this parcel; however, St. Clair County has previously indicated that inclusion of the bridge within the National Bridge Inventory may be required before any future parcel splits are approved. A recent bridge inspection report is available for review. The bridge provides access to the dam maintenance area and is associated with the Stonehenge LOA's ongoing inspection and maintenance obligations. Conveniently situated within Millstadt Community Consolidated School District 160 and Belleville Township High School District 201, this property combines natural beauty, privacy, waterfront amenities, available utilities, and substantial future development potential in one of the area's most desirable locations. Any prospective buyer should be aware that development of this property will require initiation of a new subdivision approval process, including submission of a new preliminary plat, review by the Columbia Plan Commission, and approval by the Columbia City Council to ensure compliance with all current zoning regulations, subdivision ordinances, and comprehensive planning objectives. Property will sell under auction terms and be sold AS- IS, WHERE-IS. Buyer will be required to sign an Auction Purchase & Sale Agreement if final bid is accepted by Sellers.
