O'Neil Property Group
Live St. Charles listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Acreage is the west side’s specialty and one of the strongest reasons buyers choose St. Charles over closer-in suburbs. Wild Rose puts 1960s–80s customs on roughly 0.7 to 1.6+ wooded acres with no mandatory HOA. Foxfield offers acre-plus lots where horses are allowed, on well and septic, with recent sales from $500K to $650K. The Windings of Ferson Creek averages over half an acre with common grounds beyond. Persimmon Woods and Silver Glen Estates extend the estate tier to three-plus acres. All of it sits within ten minutes of downtown — land without exile.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect custom homes — there’s no production acreage product here — from roughly 1,800 to 9,500 square feet, built anywhere from the 1960s to the 2000s. Most acreage sits in unincorporated St. Charles and Campton townships: private wells and septic systems are standard, some areas use private water utilities, and township roads and the Kane County Sheriff provide services. Pricing runs from the low $500Ks in Foxfield and Wild Rose to $2M–$4M in the estate tier.
The acreage map is essentially everything west of Randall Road plus pockets north and east: Wild Rose off Route 31 north of downtown, Foxfield southwest off Route 64 toward Campton Hills, The Windings at Empire Road and Arboretum Drive, and Silver Glen Road’s large lots to the north. School service varies out here — most of it is D303, but The Windings area is Central CUSD 301 — so verify the assignment for any specific address with the district.
Acreage diligence is its own discipline: well flow and water quality tests, septic inspection and locating, drainage and floodplain review (Ferson Creek corridors carry mapped floodplain), and survey verification on larger parcels. Horse buyers should confirm zoning and any deed restrictions parcel by parcel — ‘horses allowed’ varies even within neighborhoods. We coordinate all of it as part of the purchase.
Acreage listings move slower than subdivision homes — the buyer pool is narrower — which creates genuine negotiating room, especially on properties that have sat past 30 days. But the well-priced, well-maintained ones still disappear fast because supply never really replenishes. Patience plus daily monitoring is the winning posture; that’s what we provide.
