23.4± Acres in Two Tracts: 40’ x 60’ Pole Barn Shop on 18.4± Acres and 5± Acres of Farm Ground or Building Site, Eldorado, IL 1145 Karel Park Rd, Eldorado, IL 62930 Begins to End: December 10, 2026 Thursday 2:00 pm Call us today to schedule a showing 1-800-272-9791 This online-only, multi-par real estate auction offers 23.4± acres on Karel Park Rd between Eldorado and Harrisburg, being sold as two tracts or together. Tract 1 has a 40’ x 60’ pole barn shop with water, power, gas heat, a half bath and septic already in place. Past the yard, 8.55± acres of woods wrap around the back, and 7.62± tillable acres lie to the north. Across the road, Tract 2 offers 5± acres to farm or build on, with utilities available along the road. Neighbors are close enough to wave to and far enough to give you room to work. Buy the shop, buy the building site, or buy both and keep the view across the road yours. For twenty-five years, this was Jerald’s shop, where he kept his lawn mower running and turned out carpentry projects. Linda still laughs about it. Reception inside a metal building isn’t great, so he’d leave his phone outside to catch her calls, then forget all about it while he worked. More than once she drove out to check on him and found the phone right where it belonged while Jerald was busy inside. She’s also learned just how much a 40’ x 60’ barn will hold. With storage overhead and in every corner, she didn’t realize how much was out there until it came time to sort through it. Now it’s ready for its next owner and their projects. Multi-Par Bidding: Bid on either tract individually or on both as a 23.4± acre combination. At the close, the property sells whichever way brings the highest total.
