Description
This unique offering presents a rare opportunity to own prime hunting acreage in two states known for producing quality whitetails. With properties in Ohio County, Kentucky, and Saline County, Illinois, the package combines proven big buck history, diverse habitat, established improvements, and strategic hunting layouts on both sides of the Ohio River. The Kentucky property serves as an impressive hunting headquarters with a new furnished home, additional farmhouse, and large detached garage, while the Illinois property provides a secluded hunting tract with excellent bedding cover, open ground, and gated access.
The Saline County, Illinois tract has a proven history of big bucks and offers a secluded setting with no road frontage. Access is provided by a gravel access road with a gated entry, helping maintain privacy and controlled access to the property. Approximately 7± acres of open ground provide ideal locations for food plots. Native grasses and successional cover add valuable habitat diversity and provide security cover that can encourage daylight buck movement. Where these areas transition into surrounding timber, abundant edge habitat creates natural travel routes between feeding and bedding areas. Rolling topography transitions through timbered ridges and draws, creating numerous funnels and pinch points that can concentrate deer movement. The timber includes a mixture of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods with plenty of oaks providing an important seasonal food source. Dense bedding and security cover is found throughout portions of the Illinois tract, giving whitetails secluded areas away from the more open ground. A small pond provides an additional water source and further enhances the habitat diversity. Combined with the native grasses, successional growth, food plot opportunities, oak timber, and varied terrain, the property offers a strong habitat setup for deer and turkey hunting.
The Ohio County, Kentucky property provides the residential headquarters for this two-state hunting package while offering its own proven history of big bucks and diverse hunting habitat.
A new 1,600 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home provides a comfortable full-time residence or hunting lodge. The open kitchen and living area features a fireplace and creates a spacious central gathering area. The kitchen includes an island, granite countertops, and plenty of room for meal preparation and entertaining. The primary bedroom includes a private bathroom, while two additional guest bedrooms share a full bathroom. A separate office provides additional functional space, and the furniture transfers with the home. A large covered porch extends the living area outdoors and provides a place to relax and enjoy the surrounding property. Additional improvements include a detached 1,800 square foot, two-bay garage with plenty of room for vehicles, ATVs, hunting equipment, and property management supplies. A separate 3-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse provides additional accommodations for family, guests, or hunting partners. The improvements are complemented by a spacious yard, gravel driveway, and parking area. Beyond the homesite, the Kentucky acreage offers a diverse blend of habitat types. Approximately 9± acres of open ground provide ideal locations for food plots, while extensive edge and interior transition zones connect the open areas with surrounding timber and thicker cover. Rolling topography includes timbered ridges and draws with softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods. The southwestern section of the property has been select cut, creating excellent bedding and security cover. This thicker habitat complements the surrounding timber and open acreage while providing secluded areas for whitetails. Numerous terrain features create natural funnels and pinch points throughout the Kentucky property, adding strategic options for stand placement and intercepting deer moving between food, bedding, and security cover.
Together, these Saline County, Illinois and Ohio County, Kentucky properties provide an opportunity to own and manage hunting acreage in two separate whitetail destinations. With proven big buck history on both tracts, a new furnished lodge, an additional farmhouse, substantial equipment storage, established open ground, food plot opportunities, diverse timber, thick bedding habitat, and strategic terrain, this two-state offering provides a unique setup for the serious whitetail hunter.
