Exceptional Hunting Tract With TIF Incentives In Mt. Vernon

000 N Sparrow Ln Mount Vernon, IL 62864

Description

Located on the edge of Mount Vernon, Illinois, this 51.32± acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a sizeable timber tract with outstanding hunting potential while still enjoying the convenience of being close to town. Entirely wooded and loaded with deer sign, this property provides the type of setup bowhunters are always searching for. Additionally, the property lies within the local Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, creating an added layer of appeal for buyers considering future development opportunities. Properties within a TIF district may qualify for incentives designed to encourage investment and growth, making this tract worthy of consideration not only for its recreational attributes but also for its long-term potential. Whether you're looking for a private hunting retreat, an investment property, or land with development possibilities in a growing area, this tract offers a unique combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find.

The entire property consists of timber with a great mix of cover and habitat throughout. During a recent walk of the property, multiple deer were jumped, and deer sign was evident across the tract. The surrounding area has an excellent history of producing great bucks, adding even more appeal to this recreational property.

Access is another major advantage of this tract. The property features road frontage along the west side, providing easy entry into the farm. In addition, a strip of land extends nearly to Veterans Memorial Dr on the east side, offering the potential for a second access point if and when expansion to the west continues. Having multiple access opportunities provides added flexibility when entering and exiting the property.

The timbered landscape creates numerous natural travel routes throughout the property and provides outstanding opportunities for stand locations. With over 50 acres of uninterrupted timber located on the edge of town, the property offers a unique combination of seclusion and convenience that is difficult to find.

Because the property resides within the city limits of Mount Vernon, it is restricted to bow hunting only. For many hunters, this creates an added advantage and offers a unique opportunity to pursue deer on a property with limited hunting pressure compared to surrounding areas.

The location places you just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences while still providing the feel of a private hunting property. Whether you're slipping out after work for an evening sit or spending weekends enjoying the outdoors, the accessibility of this property is hard to beat.

Properties of this size within the Mount Vernon city limits are increasingly difficult to find, especially those offering multiple access points and proven deer activity. Whether you're looking for a dedicated bow hunting property, a recreational investment, or simply a large tract of timber close to town, this 51.32± acre property deserves a look.
