If you’re looking for McHenry County real estate, then today’s the day to visit Gerstad Builders.

Located in the city of McHenry, you’ll find a warm welcoming community that you would be glad to call home. There are more than 35 local parks and playgrounds, consisting of 633 acres. There are also two state parks; Glacial Park (2,800 acres) and Moraine Hills (1,700 acres) as well as the McHenry Dam.

Boat launches on the Fox River & Chain-O-Lakes for water recreation. A municipal swimming pool, lighted tennis courts, and 24 golf courses – 17 Public and seven Private.

Plus, residents enjoy the McHenry County Prairie Trail, providing access to more than 100 miles of trails for pedestrians, bicycling, rollerblading, and cross-country skiing, including some areas for horseback riding and snowmobiles. To finish it off there are several outdoor basketball courts and a skate bike park.

The pride in the community is shown throughout with many volunteer services. The McHenry Garden Club is just one of those organizations that have won many awards.  Membership is totally run by volunteers and they also run 10 active committees including Publicity, Library Programs, City of McHenry Beautification, Scholarship and Fundraising.

Gerstad Builders’ Liberty Trails development is one of the new communities in McHenry. The quiet neighborhood offers both ranch and two-story homes ranging in price from the $190’s to $297,000.

Plus, all of our communities including The Trails of Dawson Creek, The Trails of Pheasant Ridge and the Williams Bay real estate at Bailey Estates offer huge savings now that we’ve rolled back the cost of our new homes all the way back to their 2003 price points. We’re even offering 10 percent off the base price of our new homes for the first 10 buyers who close in 2011.
