Default 1,371 acres @ Auction - Knox Co., IL

The "North Creek Preserve" is going to auction on Saturday, July 31, 2010. This is an unbelievable property, where no expenses were spared, in the making.
Here's what Dr. Grant Woods has to say about the property:

"North Creek Preserve is a wildlife wonderland with ample water, food, & shelter. So few properties in West Central Illinois truly have it all-North Creek does!"

Of course, he should have good things to say about the property, as he played a major role in the planning of its' design, and development of its' management plan.
This property is absolutely unbelievable! Offered for sale, in 24 subdivided tracts, varying in size and characteristics. Improvements are too numerous to list. Click this link for complete details, with hundreds of photos, and you will be mesmerized, by the intricacy of this phenominal wonder. If you are in the market for a prize piece of Illinois realestate, this is the last stop you will need to make...

PS> I have no interest in the sale of this property, other than I would be pleased if the future owners were QDMA afiliates.

That is one heck of a piece of dirt!! Part of the fun is taken out of it tho since everything is already set up.

Most of it looks like a golf course.

Word is this auction was started and then pulled because it wasn't bringing what the sellers hoped. Any additional info on this by anyone that went? I was not able to make it.
