Description
This 23.02± acre property sits directly along the Mississippi River and offers a cabin with multiple recent updates as well as recreational opportunities across the all-timber acreage. Located in Hancock County, but close to the Adams County line, the property is positioned in a rural setting and is off the beaten path, ensuring seclusion and privacy.
The cabin has been carefully maintained and updated in recent years. In 2025, a new roof was installed, improving long-term durability. A south dormer was added in 2024 with an 8-foot casement window to increase light and usable space. On the east side, a 10-foot by 20-foot room addition provides a third bedroom or sunroom. This area is equipped with nine new windows that extend views of the property while creating additional space for guests or extended stays. Imagine waking up with the morning sun. A storage closet has been added underneath the cabin, and shelving has been built into the pantry to provide functional storage solutions.
The cabin includes basic utilities, including electric service and a room air conditioner. The interior features multiple sleeping areas, a full kitchen, and space for gathering. The 2nd floor provides enough room for two twin beds and a king bed. The sun room provides enough room for a queen-size bed and a living room area on the other side. Outside, a fish cleaning station has been built with running water and electrical connections designed to support electric knives, offering a practical feature that makes use of the Mississippi River frontage. The deck on the west side is ideal for sitting and enjoying the view of the river or grilling out and watching the sun set over the river.
The property includes several land improvements designed to expand recreational use. A shooting range measuring approximately 100 yards has been set up north of the cabin. A floating dock and an established boat ramp provide direct river access for boating and fishing. Gravel has been added to the roadway to ensure reliable ingress and egress. Additionally, 14 large trees near the cabin have been removed to improve safety and reduce maintenance, opening the space to make it more usable.
This Mississippi River property is comprised entirely of timber ground that supports a range of outdoor uses. The tract offers cover for local wildlife and space for recreational activities such as hiking, hunting, and exploring. Access to the property is established through a recorded easement, and recent gravel improvements have strengthened the roadway.
Situated in Hancock, Illinois, the property offers a private riverside setting while remaining within reach of local services. The town of Ursa lies approximately 16 miles to the south, Quincy is about 25 miles to the south, and Warsaw is roughly 14 miles to the north. Keokuk, IA, is also 20 miles north. These towns provide options for fuel, groceries, dining, and other necessities, while your property remains remote and centered on recreation and nature.
This Mississippi River cabin and acreage offers both timber ground and direct river frontage with functional improvements already in place. Contact Tyler Sellens or Marlee Schultz today to request more information or to schedule a time to view the property in person.
