Some places just feel different the moment you turn down the dirt road. The noise fades. The pace slows. And suddenly, the only thing across the road is wilderness — several hundred acres of U.S. Department of the Interior land that nobody is ever going to develop, subdivide, or crowd with neighbors. That is what waits for you at 3993 Teddybear Lane.
From the main road, Pine Hill Play Court looks like a small, quiet subdivision — because it is. And 3993 Teddybear Lane? You cannot even see it from there. You have to know it exists. You have to want to find it. Once you turn down that dirt road and the trees close in around you, you will understand exactly why.
This auction offers eight lots — Lots 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 52, and 53 of Pine Hill Play Court Subdivision — combining to form an approximately 0.92-acre, level, cleared site in Williamson County, Illinois, situated between Marion and Carbondale. Public water is in place. The original home has been removed, leaving two concrete pads, a wired shed, and a nearly fresh canvas to build exactly what you want.
Tucked between Marion and Carbondale — close enough to both for everything you need, far enough from either to actually exhale. Pick your poison for shopping, dining, or a night out, and then come home to this. Out here the neighbors are the kind that give you space. This is Southern Illinois the way it is supposed to be — quiet, green, and wide open. If you have been looking for a place to start over, start fresh, or simply start breathing again, this is it.
