A few hundred posts back I made mention of what I believe to be the best kept secret in central Illinois, if not the entire state. There is a great little lake community (600 acre lake to be exact) called Oak Run that is just about 40 minutes west of Peoria in a little area called Dahinda. Along with all of the boating activities that take place there, you'll find a golf course, tennis courts, beaches, 2 marinas, a restaurant/bar, general store and a club house. Yearly dues run about $188 and there are some additional fees for a boat sticker, etc, but they are nominal. The association website is www.oakrunpoa.com and my blog for the area is www.myoakrun.com . I've lived in central Illinois my entire life and I've always known about this place but had not been there for probably 20 years. Then about 4 years ago I had a client call to ask me to show him some properties out there and we fell in love with it. To get our feet wet, literally and figuratively, we went in with another family we are friends with a bought a vacant lot, which gives us the lake rights. There is no demand to build and many people just own a vacant lot for the rights that go along with it. After about a year we liked it so much we went in with the same family and found the worst house in the whole subdivision, bought it, fixed it up, and now it's our own little time share with them. So....if you...or you and a friend...or you and ten friends...would be interested in maybe doing the same, give me a call and I'd love to show you around the lake sometime! It is by far, without question, the best purchase I've ever made, and the best investment in our family as well.
