This premier whitetail hunting farm in Saline County, Illinois represents a rare opportunity to own one of Southern Illinois' finest trophy deer properties. With a proven history of producing Boone & Crockett caliber whitetails, exceptional wildlife habitat, and a long-standing commitment to quality deer management, this farm offers everything needed to consistently grow and hold mature bucks while generating dependable annual income. The property has been carefully managed under strict Quality Deer Management practices and has also benefited from habitat improvements implemented through Pheasants Forever. Every acre of the farm is protected under a conservation easement, ensuring the property's exceptional habitat will remain intact for generations to come. Even more impressive, the surrounding 5,000± acres are also enrolled in the conservation easement and managed by neighboring landowners who share the same commitment to habitat management and mature deer. This large-scale cooperative approach has created one of the premier whitetail landscapes in Southern Illinois. Income-producing tillable acreage further enhances the property's value. Approximately 280 acres are planted in corn for the 2026 growing season and generate cash rent of $125 per acre. An additional 35± acres have been planted in soybeans for 2026 and will remain standing to provide an outstanding late-season food source for deer. Approximately 50 acres are maintained as hay ground with abundant clover, creating another highly attractive food source that consistently draws wildlife throughout the growing season. The farm's layout provides excellent opportunities for both wildlife management and hunting success. Numerous additional locations are available for future food plot development, allowing a new owner to further enhance the property's already impressive habitat. Miles of edge and transition cover connect bedding and feeding areas, while numerous natural funnels and pinch points create predictable deer movement throughout the property. Four brand-new Titan blinds, along with several additional hunting blinds, are included with the property, providing immediate hunting opportunities across multiple areas of the farm. Water is plentiful, with several strip ponds scattered throughout the property. These ponds provide dependable water for wildlife while also offering excellent fishing opportunities. Exceptional bedding and security cover throughout the farm help hold mature bucks year-round, while timbered areas consisting of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods provide valuable seasonal food sources and additional cover. Access throughout the property is excellent. A gravel road runs through the center of the farm, providing convenient access for farming operations, habitat management, and hunting while minimizing disturbance to wildlife. A gated entrance offers both privacy and security. An additional feature that sets this offering apart is a separate 4± acre build site located approximately one mile northwest of the main farm. This parcel conveys with the sale and provides an ideal location for constructing a home, hunting lodge, or equipment building while keeping the main hunting property largely undisturbed.
