Description
Located just southeast of Nebo, off Spring Creek Road, this hunting property has been thoughtfully designed to maximize food sources, bedding cover, and long-term holding power for mature Midwestern whitetails. The habitat plan was developed by Mark Luster, with a strategic layout that blends security cover, diverse food sources, and access to create a farm built specifically for growing mature whitetail bucks. The internal trail system is a key part of the property, allowing access to multiple stand locations, food plots, and maintenance, while minimizing intrusion into core bedding areas. Timber stand improvement has already been completed on the west side of the property, enhancing understory growth and bedding cover, with additional TSI planned for the east side in 2026 to further strengthen the habitat structure. Thick bedding cover is already established across a significant portion of the farm, providing bedding cover throughout the year. In 2026, approximately 45 acres of warm-season grasses, grain plots, and green plots are scheduled for implementation. This large food component will serve as a destination food source, capable of attracting and holding deer. For buyers seeking a return on investment, these acres could also be converted back to row crop production, offering a revenue stream. Four rows of Giant Miscanthus have been planted along Spring Creek Road to provide visual screening from the roadway, helping reduce pressure and enhance huntability. The property has two gated entrances located along the north-central and east sides, offering two points of access for varying wind directions and stand setups. Water sources further enhance the property’s appeal, with year-round creeks running through the property and a small pond on the eastern side. The surrounding neighborhood consists of several larger landowners and a high deer density area, adding to the property’s long-term hunting potential. This is a turnkey hunting property designed with a long-term vision in mind. For the serious deer hunter seeking a professionally designed farm in a strong neighborhood, this property represents an opportunity to own a premier Western Illinois whitetail tract. Give land specialist Tyler Sellens a call today for more information or to schedule a private showing.
