Description
This 63.49± acre recreational property is located in Effingham County, Illinois, just south of Effingham and outside the community of Watson. The tract features direct road frontage along Highway 45, providing convenient year-round access. The location places the property approximately 10 miles from Effingham and 23 miles from Newton, offering proximity to services, supplies, and regional amenities while maintaining a rural setting.
The property consists of a mix of timber and open acreage enrolled in CRP. Roughly 55± acres are timbered, creating extensive wildlife cover and habitat structure. The remaining acreage includes CRP ground that provides annual income while contributing to soil conservation and wildlife habitat.
A significant natural feature of the property is the Little Wabash River, which runs along the southern line of the property. The river corridor contributes to wildlife movement, travel routes, and habitat diversity. The combination of river frontage, timber, and CRP acreage creates a landscape commonly used for recreational purposes such as hunting and land stewardship.
The timbered portions of the property provide established bedding areas and travel corridors. Observed deer sign includes multiple rubs and scrapes. The property has a history of mature whitetail deer activity.
Topography across the property is typical of river-influenced land, with a mix of level areas and subtle elevation changes. The timber composition and river frontage create natural funnels and transition zones. These features may support strategic stand placement and habitat management practices, depending on the buyer’s objectives.
The road frontage along Highway 45 allows flexibility for access and potential future land management. There are no structures currently noted on the property.
This tract is well-suited for buyers seeking recreational land with income-producing acreage, river frontage, and established wildlife habitat in a central Illinois location. The combination of access, acreage diversity, and proximity to nearby towns makes this property a solid option for those interested in hunting land, recreational use, or long-term land ownership in Effingham County.
