Located in the highly regarded whitetail region of Clark County, Illinois, this 55±-acre all-timber property offers an exceptional combination of mature hardwoods, diverse terrain, creek bottoms, natural travel corridors, and quality wildlife habitat. Whether you're searching for a premier hunting property, a recreational getaway, or a place to establish a future hunting cabin, this tract provides the habitat and features that serious outdoorsmen appreciate.

The property is accessed by a 15-foot ingress and egress easement from North 1080th Street. The easement is currently a grass and dirt lane that extends to the southwest corner of the property, providing legal access while maintaining the property's secluded feel.

The southern portion of the property encompasses approximately 12.5 acres and offers several potential locations that could be cleared for a hunting cabin or camper pad, subject to buyer verification and any applicable regulations. Moving north through this section, the terrain drops into a scenic draw where a small creek winds through the bottom. Although the creek was not flowing during the property visit, several water holes remained, providing an additional water source for wildlife throughout much of the year.

Crossing the creek leads into a large, relatively flat stand of mature hardwood timber featuring a healthy mix of white oaks, additional oak species, and other hard and softwood trees. This area provides excellent mast production and ideal wildlife habitat. The northwest corner borders an agricultural field currently planted in soybeans, creating a highly attractive transition zone where deer naturally travel between bedding cover and a dependable food source. This edge habitat offers multiple opportunities for strategically placed treestands.

A timbered corridor approximately 90 feet wide connects the southern 12.5-acre section to the larger northern portion of the property, allowing seamless access throughout the tract.

The northern portion of the property is highlighted by beautiful stands of mature white oaks and other large hardwood timber. Several ridges extend toward the creek bottoms, naturally directing wildlife movement. A prominent trail running along the northern edge of the bottom creates yet another exceptional location for hunting during both archery and firearm seasons. The mature hardwood ridges also provide excellent turkey habitat, with large roost trees overlooking the creek bottoms and open ridge tops that offer ideal locations for gobblers to strut during the spring season.

One particularly strong pinch point is located along the western side of the property between neighboring agricultural fields and the Marathon pipeline right-of-way. This narrow travel corridor naturally concentrates deer movement during both daily travel patterns and the rut, making it one of several excellent hunting locations found throughout the property.

The creek bottom itself contains a primary creek channel along with wet and marshy ground that supports thick stands of willows, native grasses, and dense vegetation. This habitat provides outstanding bedding cover, particularly during favorable moisture conditions. Numerous older rubs observed on the willow trees indicate consistent rut activity and demonstrate the importance of this area within the local deer population.
