Income Producing Big Buck Hunting Farm Along The Sangamon River, Sangamon County, IL

000 Oak Crest Rd Riverton, IL 62561

Description

Situated along the banks of the Sangamon River and only minutes from Springfield sits this exceptional big buck hunting property, offering a prime opportunity for the avid hunter. Having personally hunted this farm and being very familiar with the surrounding area, it’s easy to recognize why this part of the county has a long history of producing quality whitetails, with great bucks consistently harvested year after year. Historical trail camera photos I captured while hunting the property further showcase the caliber of deer this area is capable of producing.

On the southern edge of the property, you'll find 16.9± acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP - Tree Program), creating a dense and effective buffer that provides exceptional screening from the county road, which is now a dead-end road. In the northwest corner, an additional 15.90± acres of CRP (Native Grasses) offers excellent cover and further enhances the property's wildlife appeal. The abundance of cover throughout the farm helps establish a true sanctuary for wildlife while also creating outstanding opportunities for strategic food plot placement to help draw and hold deer from surrounding properties. Two gated access points enhance the property's accessibility, allowing you to take advantage of favorable wind conditions when entering or exiting stand locations. This type of access is a major asset when looking to slip in and out of stand locations without bumping deer.

Another noteworthy feature is the substantial income generated through the CRP Program. Currently, 32.80± total acres are enrolled, generating an impressive annual income of $11,132.00, averaging $339.39 per acre. In addition, if a future owner chose to lease the hunting rights, the property has recently generated an additional $6,800 annually through a hunting lease. This added income potential further enhances the appeal of this outstanding hunting and recreational property. This farm not only offers phenomenal hunting habitat and strategic hunting features but also provides a strong financial return. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a property that combines recreation, income, and proven big buck potential in a highly desirable area.
