Why Build a Log Cabin in Illinois?
From farmlands and forests to rolling hills and wetlands, Illinois is for nature lovers. It’s why so many people choose to site their new log home in “The Land of Lincoln”—named after our 16th president and America’s most famous log cabin dweller.
Illinois boasts 5 million acres of forestland and 87,000 miles of streams and rivers. Deciduous trees like ash, red oak, and sycamore dominate, putting on a brilliant display in the fall.
There are dozens of state parks and nature preserves in each region of the state, from Lake Le-Aqua-Na in the northwest to the enchanting Cache River wetlands in the south. Whether you love boating, fly fishing, snowmobiling, or hunting, opportunities in the great outdoors abound.
And if your goal is to stake out a piece of land for your dream cabin, you can do it on a budget in Illinois. Land goes for as little as $3,000-$5,000 an acre in many parts of the state.
