798 Karbers Ridge Rd (new address as of 2017). We are 3 miles east of Karber's Ridge Illinois on Karber's Ridge Rd (which turns into Pounds Hollow Rd just east of our property). PLEASE watch for Deer on the roads particularly on Karber's Ridge/Pounds Hollow road and particularly from dusk until dawn.
​
One of the only bad things about of being in the middle of nowhere is there is not anywhere close to stock up on grocery items. There is a small market about 8 miles away (Harbison's at intersection of Karber's Ridge Rd and Hwy 34) and even smaller market 5 miles away (Garden of the Gods Outpost) but the closest "full" grocery store is in Harrisburg or Eldorado (20-25 mins away)
