1561 W Longwood Drive

Build where the woods are the view. The Sanctuary of Bull Valley is a conservation-minded community of rolling hills, restored prairie, protected woodlands and walking paths, lined with custom and semi-custom homes. It has small-town charm and an easy commute: 7 minutes to the Woodstock Square and the Metra, 13 miles to I-90 and about an hour to O'Hare. Tired of city living? Trade traffic and rooftops for open sky and a wooded view, with the historic Woodstock Square just minutes away. The Square is the heart of town: locally owned shops and restaurants, the 1889 Woodstock Opera House, the Old Courthouse, a seasonal farmers market and the streets where Groundhog Day was filmed. This is one of the few lots left in the Sanctuary where you can bring your own builder. It's about 2.14 acres, two lots (formerly 31 and 32) combined into one parcel, and it backs to a large private wooded estate, so you look at trees, not rooftops. There's room for a home on one side and a pool on the other, and a future owner could potentially split it back into two lots. The hard part is already done: an engineered soil report (suitable for foundation support, no groundwater found), a survey, topo maps and a signed site plan for a ranch home, all included with the lot. Utilities to the site, a paved street and District 200 schools. Your builder, your design, your timeline.
