There's no place else on earth quite like Starved Rock Country and owning property here is one of the great privileges of life. I love this area and once I show you around, I'm convinced you will love it too! Whether you are looking for that perfect vacation home or full-time low maintenance living you will find the charm and beauty of Starved Rock Country will fit all your needs. I believe that you deserve the best service and buying experience, so I am always available to take your calls. I have had the opportunity to share my love of the area with many residents as the VP of Sales and Marketing at Heritage Harbor Ottawa, a marina resort community since 2006. As an Elite Homesmart Licensed Broker I can list and sell the beautiful properties Heritage Harbor and Starved Rock Country has to offer from single-family homes, condos and townhomes to villas and cottages. As a certified Resort and Second Home Specialist I recognize the desires and concerns people have in owning a second home and can help educate you on making the best possible decision. What makes Starved Rock Living so unique? People ask me all the time what do you love the most about being part of Illinois' Natural wonder of Starved Rock? I can only sum it up by saying that it offers me the best of all worlds.... natural beauty, outdoor activities, history, year-around fun, less than 90-mintues to Chicago and most importantly it's small town charm. It's a place where they still carry your groceries out and won't except tips, it's the butcher shop owner that knows my name, it's my favorite ice cream shop and the constant reminder that life should be 'simply' lived. What is hard to describe in words is the 'heart' of Starved Rock Country, where everyone 'shows up' to help those in needs or to just say hello. One of the core values I was raised with as one of 14 children in Dubuque, Iowa, was that we all could give back of our time and talent to our community...Starved Rock Country allows me that opportunity to be involved as a Chamber Ambassador, a fundraiser, an event planner for non-profit to the Women's Inspired Network. Not to mention the area is not short on amazing restaurants and boutique shops. After you experience the charm of Starved Rock Country you won't be asking Why anymore but Why Not Starved Rock Country.
