Description

Location, location, location! The old saying holds true with this farm. Situated in a big buck hotspot in Southern Illinois, this farm has a few special ingredients. First, it joins the Nature Hills Cretaceous State Natural Area and Nature Preserve. This 500+ acre block owned by the State of Illinois borders this property to the west. Half of the property is NO Hunting and half of the property is open to the public. This gives you a nice sanctuary to hold big bucks. Another thing that makes this farm special is that it joins the Shawnee National Forest on the North and East sides. On the East side, it is extremely difficult to access the land adjoining this farm without crossing private property. This gives you another area of low pressure to hold and hunt those big Illinois Bucks. This outstanding hunting tract is situated in an area renowned for producing big bucks! Thoughtfully managed for deer and turkey hunting, the property is enrolled in a Forestry Management Program, ensuring long-term habitat sustainability and growth. A diverse mix of timbered ridges and draws is spread across the landscape, featuring softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, creating excellent food sources and cover for wildlife. The dense understory and plenty of thick bedding/security cover provide ideal conditions for holding mature deer. With its rolling topography, numerous funnels, and natural pinch points, this property offers exceptional hunting setups. A small pond, creek, and multiple feeder streams enhance the habitat, supporting both wildlife and potential water sources for future use. Several established food plots and a well-maintained trail system allow for easy navigation and strategic hunting access. An old home site presents an opportunity for a hunting camp or future build, making this property a fantastic investment for both recreation and potential development. For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a turnkey timbered tract in a trophy-producing region, this property delivers everything you need!
