The Peninsula
Homeowners Association
The Peninsula at Egypt Isle is the newest community located on the Lake of Egypt in Johnson County and was annexed into the Village of Goreville in 2010. In 2009, prior to offering lots for sale, the protective covenants were put in place by the developer to protect all property owners and the overall value of the community. During the 2012 property owners annual meeting the first Board of Directors for the Association were elected by members present at the meeting. There are seven members that make-up the association board with each member serving a three-year term. The Board meets at least quarterly and hosts an annual meeting open to all property owners.
Located in the heart of Southern Illinois’ wine country and the hiking trails of the Shawnee National Forest, the Peninsula is just minutes from I-57 and I-24. (Take exit 7 from I-24, go east and turn left onto Parrish Ridge Lane. Continue for approximately 2 miles to the entrance).
