Bunker Hill Farms

Land

Bunker Hill Farms spans approximately 490 acres of thoughtfully transformed former McHenry County farmland in northern Illinois. Through visionary design and extensive earthwork, including the movement of over 1 million cubic yards of soil, the original terrain has been meticulously sculpted into a dynamic, resort-quality landscape of gently rolling hills, dramatic mounds, engineered lakes, restored prairies, and expansive mature woodlands.

The layout balances a variety of recreational zones with serene natural areas, connected by gravel roads, timber bridges over streams, and miles of groomed multi-use ATV trails. Elevated vantage points offer sweeping views, while dedicated features like the legendary sled hill add seasonal excitement.

Vegetation reflects decades of intentional enhancement: Twenty thousand planted hardwoods, evergreens, fruit trees, and sugar maples form dense timber stands for privacy, beauty and wildlife habitat; native prairie restorations and lush botanical gardens frame key amenities; and meticulously maintained turf delivers park-like grounds throughout.

Improvements

Bunker Hill Farms features luxury structures built to the highest standards, creating a fully self-sufficient private resort compound in excellent condition. With high end technology throughout the facilities, comfort and control is just a click away.

The main living area features dramatic 20-foot ceilings with stone fireplaces that create a grand, airy atmosphere, complemented by a gourmet kitchen with high-quality quartzite countertops, Viking and Subzero appliances, formal dining room, expansive 3 season room and several bedroom suites.
