Description
This property is a turn-key hunting and recreational tract with a great mix of income-producing ground, top-tier habitat, and recent upgrades throughout. With a proven management history, ideal layout, and strong neighborhood, it offers both an exceptional hunting experience and long-term investment potential. The farm has a strong income stream with a total annual return of $6,397.00 from two CRP programs: $5,564.00 from the Tree Program (through 2027) and $833.00 from the WSG program (through 2039). A Forestry Management Plan was implemented by Wade Gibbons in 2018, with the first eligible harvest in 2028, offering future timber value as well. The layout is ideal for hunting with a mix of mature hardwoods, pine plantations, 30+/- acres of open ground including 16+/- acres of food plots, and two secluded ponds. The property features a strong topographic diversity with rolling hills, rocky outcroppings, bluffs, and a mix of top (154+/- acres) and bottom ground (40+/- acres). Grasshopper Creek—a year-round water source—runs through the farm, along with a secondary wet-weather creek, creating natural wildlife travel corridors. The farm has been intensively managed for whitetail with a focus on age structure and quality genetics. Over the past 4 seasons, only 3 bucks and 3 does have been harvested. Buck harvests have included a 3.5 y/o 4x4, a 4.5 y/o 4x4, and a 5.5 y/o 6x4—all aged and confirmed via Matson’s Lab. The management strategy has prioritized allowing 5x5 or better bucks to reach full maturity, and the current buck population includes several deer in the 4–5-year age class. A mobile home overlooking Tall Tree Lake has received recent upgrades, including new hot water heater, flooring, cabinets, vanity, and an added bedroom. Additional improvements include a gravel drive, a large barn and two sheds, and an extensive new interior road and trail system with improved access all the way to the back 40 acres. As an added bonus, a deeded easement creates an additional access point from the southeast for ease of playing the wind direction to access stands. This is a true lifestyle property for the serious hunter or outdoor enthusiast. It adjoins hard-to-access public land and borders the River to River Trail, with quick access to Dutchman Lake and Shawnee National Forest. The area is known for great neighbors who practice QDMA and keep an eye on each other’s land. In addition to hunting, the tract is great for hiking, horseback riding, shed hunting, and morel mushroom hunting in the spring. A rare opportunity to own a large, well-managed farm with a strong hunting history, CRP income, upgraded lodging, and proximity to some of Southern Illinois’ best public lands.
