Description
Located in Franklin County, Illinois, this 49.17± acre property offers an outstanding combination of river frontage, timber, and recreational opportunities in a manageable size. With frontage along the Big Muddy River and a layout built around quality wildlife habitat, this tract provides excellent potential for both deer and waterfowl hunting. What truly sets this property apart is its strategic location along what appears to be the only substantial timbered travel corridor on this side of the river for miles, naturally funneling wildlife movement through the property. For the serious whitetail hunter, this creates an exceptional opportunity to intercept mature, doe-seeking bucks during the rut as they cruise this natural bottleneck in search of receptive does, making this a rare ambush-style hunting setup with the kind of pinch-point potential that is hard to duplicate.
The property consists primarily of timber, creating strong cover and habitat throughout the tract. The wooded layout offers a secluded setting and supports consistent wildlife activity across the property. The mix of timber, water, and surrounding terrain creates a natural setup that works exceptionally well for recreational use.
A major highlight of the property is its frontage along the Big Muddy River. The river adds both scenic appeal and additional wildlife habitat while creating excellent opportunities for waterfowl hunting. Having direct river frontage adds diversity to the tract and makes it stand out from many other properties in the area.
In addition to the existing habitat, a 30-foot strip around the field will convey with the property, offering added flexibility for access, cover, and food plot opportunities. This feature creates additional options for managing the property and setting up strategic hunting locations.
The layout of the timber and river frontage naturally creates strong travel corridors across the property. Deer movement throughout the tract is supported by the combination of cover, water, and transitions between habitat types. The property provides multiple opportunities for stand placements and hunting setups throughout the season.
Road frontage adds convenience and allows for easy access into the property. The manageable acreage combined with straightforward entry makes this a practical tract for those looking for a recreational property that is easy to navigate and maintain.
This property offers versatility for hunters looking to pursue both whitetails and waterfowl on the same tract. The combination of Big Muddy River frontage, timber habitat, and food plot potential creates a balanced recreational setup with opportunities throughout the year.
Properties with river frontage and quality hunting habitat continue to be highly sought after in southern Illinois. This 49.17± acre Franklin County property offers a strong recreational opportunity with the added benefit of scenic water frontage and diverse habitat.
Whether you’re looking for a manageable hunting tract, a waterfowl property, or a recreational investment, this property delivers a well-rounded setup in a highly desirable area.
