Questions · 8595 US Highway 51, Cobden, Illinois

The dimensioned floor plan measures 4,228 sq ft of interior floor (3,520 main + 708 loft) and deliberately excludes the 468 sq ft enclosed porch, storage, the fireplace, low-ceiling and open-to-below areas. The assessor records 4,117 sq ft for the main structure plus two porches of 320 and 638 sq ft. The listing's 'approximately 6,000 sq ft of entertaining space' has no stated basis and most likely counts porch and deck areas. Treat 4,228 sq ft as the conditioned interior until a measured survey says otherwise.

The listing says 26.10 acres. The owner of record holds three parcels totaling 27.14 acres (23.23 with the lodge, plus 3.16 and 0.75 acres of farmland east of the highway). Listing sites still quote retired parcel numbers from before a 2025 split. Ask for the legal description in the contract and a plat.

Unknown. Listing feeds disagree ('R-2', 'OTHER'), and the tax bill suggests the parcel sits outside the Village of Cobden, in unincorporated Union County. Obtain a written zoning determination and the permitted-use list before committing to an operating plan, and confirm assembly capacity, fire and life-safety, accessibility, health, liquor and outdoor-sound requirements for the use you intend.

Listing portals show a February 2025 sale at $515,000. That transfer was the adjacent 42-acre parcel with mobile homes and farmland — not the lodge. The lodge parcel's last recorded transfer was a bank-owned sale on 1 March 2021 at $525,000 (26.10 acres at the time).

No. They are illustrative directions built from the property's physical assets. Every rendering is labeled as a concept, is paired with the original photograph it was drawn from, and implies no approval, capacity, cost or performance.

The kitchen equipment, bar fixtures, stage, pond and outbuildings are visible in the photography but their inclusion in the sale has not been confirmed in writing. Request an inventory of what conveys.

No reliable published count exists, and none is inferred here. The 5,800 vehicles-a-day figure describes US 51 at the access point, not visits to the property.
