Formerly the well-known Pioneer’s Cabin, this rare and versatile property sits on 2.04 acres and offers multiple potential uses. Rich in history and rustic character, the building is ideally suited for a hunter’s and fisherman’s retreat, private lodge, or income-producing Airbnb catering to duck, goose, and deer hunters as well as anglers. Located near Pyramid State Park and just 20 minutes from the World Shooting & Recreational Complex, this property is positioned in the heart of Southern Illinois outdoor recreation.
The property also presents the opportunity to revive Pioneer’s Cabin as a destination restaurant, bringing back the family-style dining experience it was once known for. Alternatively, the space could be reimagined as a single-family residence or transformed into a standalone bourbon room or rustic entertaining venue, preserving the lodge-style atmosphere. These uses are presented as separate options, allowing a buyer to tailor the property to their vision.
Equipped with extensive commercial-grade features, the property includes one walk-in freezer, two walk-in coolers, Ansul fire suppression system, salad bar prep table, two 5-steam-burner tables, metal prep tables, fryer, 6-burner commercial stove, Turbo Air freezer, three-door commercial refrigerator, and two three-tub sinks. Recent updates include new plumbing and a new deck, with three sheds providing additional storage.
With its strong recreational draw, established infrastructure, and flexible potential, this unique property is ready for its next chapter.
