Cumberland County
A Perfect Recreational Getaway With CRP Income, Mature Timber, Embarras River Frontage, Deer And Turkeys
IL-121, Lot #WP001 Greenup, IL 62428
Description
Nestled on the west edge of Greenup, this scenic property offers a rare blend of seclusion, natural beauty, and convenience. Bordered by city land, the Embarras River, and a cemetery, this unique tract provides privacy while still being just minutes from town. Access is available at the northeast corner via IL-121. The eastern portion of the property features mature hardwoods and rolling terrain—perfect habitat for wildlife and ideal for hiking or future trails. A 19.30-acre section, located between the river and the wooded hillside, is enrolled in a CP22 CRP contract through September 30, 2030, providing an annual income of $5,322. The area transitions beautifully from native forbs to towering timber near the river’s edge. Wildlife activity is abundant, with numerous deer trails crisscrossing the property, old rubs, old licking branches, and established scrape lines providing strong indicators of consistent whitetail movement. During a recent visit, some turkeys were flushed from the lower CRP area. A large, picturesque sandbar along the river offers the perfect spot for camping, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water. Bald eagles are often seen soaring overhead, and nesting activity suggests their presence is consistent in the area. Whether you're a hunter, nature enthusiast, or looking for a peaceful retreat close to town, this property is a versatile and valuable investment in the heart of the county.
