Jefferson County
Recreational Waterfowl, Deer And Turkey Tract With Cabin Adjacent To Rend Lake State Fish And Wildlife Area
Spruce Lane (County Road 700E) Waltonville, IL 62894
Description
This walk-in-ready recreational and hunting property adjoins the 38,000 acre+ Rend Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area. I have some history with this property, so some information is from a few years back. Since the facts haven't changed, I am also including some pics from the past. This property's main change or addition is the new 12'X34' log cabin with a 10' covered porch that the sellers had built, complete with city water, electricity, and a new septic system. The cabin has a loft with 2 beds, a primary bedroom, a bunk room with 2 bunk beds, a full bathroom, a full kitchen, and a futon that doubles as a couch and queen bed. The cabin overlooks a tillable field or food plot and a stocked pond/lake. The lake has a windmill connected to a pump that keeps the lake from freezing. An approximate 45 acres of timber has an oxbow (a low area in the timber) that holds water and curves around the back side of the 15 acres of tillable. The boundaries are well-marked in the timber. The lower 4-acre portion of the 15-acre tillable field can be flooded by utilizing the 2-pump system to pump from the oxbow in the timber to the field each year. In the center of these 4 acres is a concrete 12' duck/goose in-ground pit. You combine the flooded 4-acre tillable field, the waterfowl in the timber, and the tremendous amount of wildlife that Rend Lake Wildlife Area holds, and you have the best of both waterfowl and whitetail hunting that I have seen. I have also included some harvest pictures from the current owners and a nice 10 pt shed I found this May while walking the property. He should be a pretty nice 10 this year! All around the edges of the tillable are huge rubs and trails, as you can see in our pictures. On the front west side of the property is also a 2.5-acre lake from which the owners have enjoyed good goose hunting and fishing. The cabin overlooks this lake, and there is a 10' in-ground goose blind alongside it. Access is a deeded easement along the south side of the neighbor to the west that has been graveled and can be driven with a truck or regular car/SUV. A 3320 Zeton tractor with all the implements to take care of the land is also available for sale. These are stored in a locked steel storage container on the property. If you are looking for a waterfowl, deer, or turkey hunting property, you must see this piece. You will not believe the amount of waterfowl and deer sign on this tract.
