“It was sure a pleasure to work with you on the purchase of our new Home. Tracy knew as soon as she contacted you that you would be the one to find us our new home. She had contacted several agents in the Bloomington – Normal area but one responded with as much enthusiasm, and care for what we were looking for as far as a new home. You took the time to show us a lot of nice properties and your knowledge of the area and the real estate market was a great help knowing exactly where and what to show us. We love our new home and neighbors and could not be happier with our decision not only in the choice of our home but in the choice of our realtor. We really appreciate everything you did for us.” Thank You so much, Dan & Tracy

Situated on 58 rolling acres, King's Mill Subdivision offers 23 single family lots ranging from one to two acres in size. Each lot was carefully positioned to provide no backyard neighbors - allowing each homeowner complete privacy. Most lots have a nice, gradual slope allowing for walk-out construction. A walking trail (which in the future will connect with Constitution Trail) runs behind the two ponds at the South end of the subdivision - providing a safe environment for a leisurely stroll with family and friends. All lots have city water, Northern Illinois Gas. Corn Belt Electric utilities. The school system is Unit 5 School District.

King's Mill Subdivision offers the best of both worlds, peaceful country charm, yet all the benefits of city living.
