Description
This 268+/- acre Hardin County hunting tract is a rare opportunity to step into a fully developed whitetail property with a proven history of big, mature bucks. Its diverse blend of habitat types, income-producing acres, and purpose-built improvements form a turnkey foundation for any serious deer or turkey hunter. The landscape unfolds across rolling terrain with timbered ridges, wooded draws, and secluded pockets of thick security cover that give mature whitetails everything they need year-round. Softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods blanket the hillsides, while numerous natural funnels and pinch points create ideal stand and blind setups across the entire farm. A large, established alfalfa plot anchors the center of the property and acts as a major food source from spring through fall. A wildlife pond sits along its edge, adding reliable water in a key location and further enhancing the property's holding power. The elevated box blind overlooking the field provides a strategic vantage point during the early season, peak rut, and late-season recovery hunts. Beyond the alfalfa, several additional open areas are perfectly positioned for expanded food plot acreage, giving a future owner the ability to tailor the farm’s nutrition plan to their goals. The farm also includes 33+/- acres enrolled in CRP, generating $6,546 annually while adding excellent bedding and nesting habitat. These acres integrate seamlessly into the surrounding timber and food sources, increasing deer movement consistency and overall wildlife diversity. Trails and internal roads are well established, allowing easy access throughout the property by truck, tractor, or ATV—an important feature for hunting setups, habitat work, and year-round enjoyment. A large equipment barn provides ample storage for implements, UTVs, tractors, and hunting gear. For buyers looking to build, an ideal homesite sits near the road frontage, offering privacy while still benefiting from quick access to utilities. With 1,100 feet of road frontage and available utilities, the property is primed for a future lodge, cabin, or barndominium. This is a standout Hardin County farm with strong habitat, proven trophy whitetail history, dependable annual income, and all the key features that make Illinois hunting land so highly sought after. It’s a complete package ready for the next owner to enjoy from day one.
