Description
This 80+/- acre hunting and recreational tract in Hardin County offers a well-rounded blend of habitat, improvements, and location - set in an area long known for producing quality Southern Illinois whitetails. With diverse cover, established food sources, lodging and direct access to the Shawnee National Forest, this property is designed for both weekend enjoyment and all-season hunting potential. The land features a gently rolling topography that transitions seamlessly across timbered ridges, draws, native grasses and open ground. A 5+/- acre established food plot serves as a major wildlife destination, supported by 61+/- acres of native warm-season grasses that provide excellent bedding and security cover. The timbered portions include a mix of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, along with pockets of dense understory that enhance bedding opportunities and create natural travel corridors throughout the farm. Two ponds provide reliable water sources, while adjacency to tillable acreage increases the overall attractiveness to wildlife moving through the area. Infrastructure is already in place, making this farm turnkey for immediate use. A 2006 RV park model camper offers comfortable lodging during hunting season or weekend stays. Additional improvements include a 48’x30’ shop building, a detached garage and a storage shed - ideal for equipment, ATVs, and gear. The spacious yard, gravel drive and ample parking area add convenience and functionality for long-term enjoyment or future development. With 4,000 feet of road frontage across two sides, the property offers excellent access and positioning for an ideal build site should you choose to construct a cabin or home. Directly adjoining the Shawnee National Forest, it provides access to thousands of additional acres for hunting, hiking, and recreation. This is a well-rounded property offering a rare mix of habitat diversity, improvements, location and expansion potential, all set within one of the most desirable hunting regions in Southern Illinois.
