This is one of those special areas of Illinois that may not be as well known as some others, but the habitat and age structure on this property and in this area are as good as anywhere. This property has an added bonus with an absolutely beautiful custom built home that sits back off the road offering some of the best country living one could find. This home personally built by the seller had no corners cut with great craftsmanship throughout. The farm itself has been laid out with the deer hunting as top priority. With nearly 250 acres of hardwood timber that has been recently harvested the security cover and bedding habitat that has been produced by the tops and undergrowth from the increased sunlight to the forest floor is incredible. Logging roads created from the timber harvest have been graded and maintained and provide access to literally the entire farm. The nearly 60 acres of tillable ground provides not only welcomed income but also ability to leave standing crops for a late season food source. This property has unbelievable potential from the work that has been done and the next 3-5 years are only going to get better, add to this being located within a very low pressure area with good management in place and you have the perfect big buck mecca. Gravel road access from both the North and South sides of the farm offer flexibility to hunt either side of the farm depending on the wind directions. The location of this property is convenient being within 2 hours of Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis, as well as being approximately 1 mile from the historic Abraham Lincoln Log Home State Park and Fox Ridge State Park. Call Agent Joe Gizdic at 217-299-0332 for more information about this fine property or to schedule a showing because this one will definitely have to been seen to be appreciated.
