Realtor Comments
This charming and unique A-frame house is ready for its next owner. Will consider Land Contract. $35,000 down; $750 a month plus taxes and insurance. Will payoff in less than 5 years at 10% Interest. The cozy loft bedroom features two skylights, offering plenty of natural light by day and a view of the stars at night. Inside, you’ll find a tongue-and-groove wood interior, cathedral ceilings, and one-of-a-kind furnishings, all included with the home. The wood stove is perfect for keeping the entire space toasty and inviting. The property sits on a 75′ x 150′ lot, with an additional adjoining 75′ x 150′ lot that includes a two-car garage with a new metal roof and garage door. Address for the garage lot is 5882 Woodland Dr (Id 014-420-327-00). The property is being sold “as is,” and both lots have their own well and septic systems, though the septic’s origins are unknown. Located in the Hill Haven Subdivision, this property provides lake access to Halfmoon Lake Bertha, and just down the road, you’ll find Bear Lake, which offers a boat launch, dock, pavilion, and beach area. You even have the option to purchase a yearly gate key for additional access. This property offers a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to make it their own or explore its investment potential.

Pros
- Beautiful views & scenery year-round: Lakefront sunsets, beaches, parks, and a generally “vacation-like” atmosphere.
- Strong outdoor lifestyle: Boating, kayaking, fishing, walking trails, biking, and in many places more winter activities than you’d expect.
- Events and tourism can mean better amenities: Restaurants, festivals, seasonal markets, and entertainment are often more abundant in lakefront towns.
- Cooling effect in summer (for many areas): The lake can moderate extreme heat compared with inland spots.
- Potential for walkability/quality-of-life in some neighborhoods: Especially in parts of Chicago/Evanston where neighborhoods cluster around lakefront access.
Cons
- Winter wind + “lake effect”: The lake can add chill and wind, making cold feel sharper—some areas also get more snow depending on local conditions.
- More seasonal wear and tear on properties: Moisture, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings can affect siding, windows, basements, and landscaping.
- Higher costs in popular lakefront neighborhoods: Demand for views and proximity to the water can mean higher rents/home prices and taxes.
- Storms and flooding risk (depends on location): Coastal flooding/erosion can be a concern in certain spots; some properties may require special mitigation (drainage, elevation, etc.).
- Crowds in peak season: Beaches and popular areas can get busy—parking, noise, and traffic can be annoying in summer.
