Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve Luxury  Homes, Oak Brook, Hinsdale, DuPage,Il

 

There is a lovely area just north of Odgen Avenue that has some of the woodsy homes in Hinsdale and Oak Brook. It is surrounded by the Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve. This area is home to many wildlife and an abundance of fawn and flora. It is  a woodsy area and quite a peaceful environment to have a home. Yet you are only 20 minutes from downtown Chicago.

 

The lot sizes of this area are large ,usually .5 - 8.0 acre of land. The Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve is owned by the government and now includes a wonderful walking path. The  path is approximately 3-3.5 miles. It is a very easy walk and ends at the south end of the path with the Graue Mill. It should take about 3 hours to walk and a very flat surface.

 

Nearly this entire hike accompanies Salt Creek as it meanders next to a bluff and winds around a couple of islands on its way to the historic watermill at the south tip of the park. Nestled against the communities of Hinsdale, La Grange, and Oak Brook, the 222 acres of Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve have been a popular spot since opening to the public in 1920. While visitors have always been drawn to the creek and its environs, more recently the historic mill and visitor center have served as added attractions.

 

There are many homes that are new construction and some orginal ones dating back to the early 1900's. The price points range from 200,000 to 7,000,000. It is a very small and nature filled area. If you enjoy the outdoor land scaping this is your refinement of living. It is located North of Odgen in Hinsdale and south of 31st street in Oak Brook. Wildlife and water and plants abound. There are coyotes, rabbits, possums, raccoon's, and white tail deer.
