This is a beautiful mobile home park that is adjacent to Lake Wildwind in a relaxed rural setting, located on approximately 40.00 acres in rural Metamora, IL. Metamora is 15 miles away from Peoria, and is one of the largest population bases in the state of Illinois; with recent figures indicating 373,590 residents in the greater Peoria metropolitan area. This park has 134 pads of which 66 are currently occupied (49% occupancy level). The park was built in approximately 1970 and currently has 14 POH’s renting for $550/month, and 52 TOH’s with the pad rent currently set at $300/month. The park also has an additional 8 POH’s that will sell with the park (two currently rentable, six needing rehabbed). 33 pads are vacant and ready to rent. 20 pads are vacant and need utilities. 7 pads are smaller or irregular sized and future use may be limited as a result. The park brought in a new 3 bed/2 bath trailer in 2017 and it rented quickly for $800/month. The majority of pads will accommodate 70’ trailers. The owner put over $150,000 into the park with capital expenditures in 2016, 2017, & 2018.
The park is on well water and has its own waste water treatment plant. Each pad has its own electric meter. The road is asphalt and is in average shape (a few potholes that will need to be addressed).
