Welcome to the village of Mettawa, winding trails, and timeless charm create the perfect backdrop for your custom home. This 1.03-acre vacant lot offers a rare opportunity to build in one of Lake County’s most picturesque communities. An adjacent 1.03-acre parcel is also available-purchase one or combine both for a stunning 2.06-acre estate. Utilities are ready to go with city/lake water, gas, and electric available-buyers or builders simply need to add a septic system. Living in Mettawa comes with wonderful perks, including a Village Tax Rebate for all residents and access to miles of scenic trails just steps away, ideal for biking, running, hiking, and even horseback riding. Residents also receive beach passes to Lake Forest beaches, just 10 minutes away on Lake Michigan. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away feel, Mettawa is incredibly convenient-close to three Metra lines, multiple downtown shopping districts, dining, and hotels, with easy freeway access. You’re just 25 minutes from O’Hare Airport and 30 minutes from the Wisconsin border. Preserved open space, equestrian-friendly paths, and a strong connection to nature make Mettawa truly special. This is more than a lot-it’s the beginning of something beautiful. Buyer pays Mettawa Transfer Tax.
