Price listed is Starting Bid Only. Bidding starts closing 6/30/2026 @ 5 p.m. These 95.71± acres of tillable and recreational land in Columbia offer outstanding residential development potential along with income generation opportunities through farming operations, potential harvesting of mature timber, and/or hunting leases. A rare opportunity for developers and investors alike, 63 residential lots encompassing the lower 39± acres were permitted and approved by the City of Columbia for construction in 2023. In addition, all 95.71± acres have completed soil boring reports, archaeological studies, and approvals from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for creek crossing access, making this property truly ready for development. The property is accessed directly off Rueck Road and Hoffman Estates Lane with convenient access to Illinois Route 3, I-255, and downtown Columbia. Three parcels — 11-03.0-300-035, 11-03.0-300-031, and 11-03.0-300-032 — are zoned R-3 Residential and fall within the City of Columbia zoning jurisdiction. The remaining two parcels — 11-03.0-300-004 and 11-03.0-100-021 — are zoned A-Agriculture and fall within the St. Clair County zoning jurisdiction. A proposed development plan over the full 95± acres outlines the potential for 116 residential lots. Expansion beyond the currently approved 63 lots would require annexation of the upper approximate 55± acres into the City of Columbia along with subsequent municipal approvals. The property also offers multiple homesite possibilities for building your dream home, subject to zoning regulations. Public electricity is available and can be brought onsite by the new owner, with private water and sewer systems best suited for development. Any use not currently permitted under each parcel’s zoning designation would require approval from the applicable municipalities and/or governing zoning authorities. Five parcels selling as one! Property will sell under auction terms and be sold AS- IS, WHERE-IS. Seller, will not make any repairs as a result of any building, occupancy, or environmental inspections. Buyer will be required to sign an Auction Purchase & Sale Agreement if final bid is accepted by Sellers.
