Located in the rural countryside of Southern Illinois sits one of the most well-rounded farms I have seen in my career. You access the farm from the north using a shared farm road. As you wind around the agriculture field edges you come to the end of the road and a gate, which is the start of this farm. There is a 45’x65’ two-sided covered shed that would be an ideal place to park a camper or set up base camp. From the barn, there are very scenic panoramic views of the countryside. There are 39.03 acres enrolled in CRP through 9/30/2026. This means the new owner can guarantee over $40,000 of income in the upcoming years. As you move throughout the farm you will notice that the CRP is split up between 7 fields and there is lots of edge. One thing that makes this farm unique is that there are 18 acres of open ground NOT enrolled in CRP, so they are open to planting for food or adding earlier successional. Two ponds on the property offer a great place to fish and also plenty of water for all of the farm’s wildlife. If you are looking for an all-around recreational farm with scenic views, then reach out to me so we can take a look.
