The Estates
Magnolia Estates consists of 17 lots, ranging in size from one–five acres. It’s located in rural Williamson County Illinois, near Carterville and between Marion and Carbondale. Covenants for one–two acres lots are slightly different than for the larger four–five acre lots. The larger “mini-farm” lots allow owners to keep horses and other domestic animals. Underground water & power, along with a fully paved road will be provided to all lots. Sewage is handled by individual aeration plants. The administration of the Magnolia Homeowners Association will be supervised by a board of directors made up to three–five lot owners, once a majority of the lots are occupied.
Magnolia Homeowners Association
Membership in the Association is required with a current fee of $100/year for an unoccupied lot, $175/year once occupied. Small annual fees for liability insurance covering all lot owners, as well as lake and private road maintenance, are paid by lots that benefit from these services.
