Description
Located in a highly regarded area of Hardin County, Illinois known for producing quality whitetails, this all-timber hunting tract offers an excellent blend of wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and long-term timber value. Featuring frontage along Rock Creek, a diverse timber stand, and close proximity to the Shawnee National Forest, this property is well suited for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and those looking to invest in Southern Illinois land. The property's rolling topography is characterized by timbered ridges and draws that naturally funnel wildlife movement while creating numerous stand locations throughout the farm. A healthy mix of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, including a strong stand of oaks, provides valuable food sources, excellent cover, and marketable timber potential. Rock Creek is one of the property's defining features and serves as a major travel corridor for wildlife in the area. The creek provides a dependable water source while encouraging predictable deer movement, especially during the rut. An agricultural field bordering the property to the east provides an additional nearby food source that complements the property's bedding cover and natural browse. Together, the creek, mature timber, and surrounding landscape create the habitat needed to attract and hold both deer and turkey. Approximately 1,700 feet of road frontage provides convenient access, and utilities are available along the road frontage should a future owner choose to pursue improvements where the terrain is suitable. The property's location adds even more appeal. It is just minutes from Garden of the Gods and close to the Shawnee National Forest, providing easy access to hiking, camping, horseback riding, hunting, and countless other outdoor recreation opportunities. Whether you're looking for a quality hunting property, timber investment, or recreational retreat, this Hardin County tract offers an outstanding opportunity in one of Southern Illinois' most desirable hunting regions.
