Description

This 182± acre recreational property is located in Wayne County, Illinois. The tract offers a combination of Big buck history, managed cover, open tillable ground, and hunting infrastructure designed to support year-round recreational use and agricultural income.

Approximately 36± acres are currently in tillable production. The tillable acres are enrolled in a crop share agreement that typically produces between $5,000 and $7,000 annually. Income figures are based on past performance and may vary depending on crop prices, yields, and lease terms. The remaining acreage is primarily devoted to ideal wildlife habitat and top notch recreational improvements.

A significant portion of the lower property has been planted in switchgrass, totaling roughly 22± acres, which could be returned to tillable acreage. There are also lines of giant miscanthus, planted strategically located along the road. The layout supports wildlife movement while also offering screening and access control for hunting setups.

Multiple food plots are in place throughout the property and are positioned near known travel corridors. Water holes have been developed to provide reliable water sources across the tract. Together, these features contribute to consistent wildlife use of the property throughout the year.

Trail systems are established across the farm, allowing access by foot or utility vehicle to most areas of the property. The trails also function as interior access routes for hunting and habitat management. Gated entrances provide controlled access from the road and help limit unwanted traffic.

Several hunting blinds are already in place, offering immediate use for the upcoming seasons. The property shows consistent deer sign, including tracks, trails, and bedding areas, and countless rubs and scrapes reflecting long-term wildlife use. The layout allows for multiple stand or blind locations depending on wind direction and seasonal movement.

A 345 square foot cabin is located on the property and provides a simple structure for overnight stays, gear storage, or use during hunting season. Utilities are on site. This property offers a balance of recreational land, agricultural income, and established improvements. It is suitable for hunting, land management, and general outdoor use. The setting and layout also support long-term ownership for those seeking land in southern Illinois.
