Union County
236.5± Acre Managed Hunting Farm With Income And Big Buck History
Goodman Pond Road, Lot #WP001 Dongola, IL 62926
Description
This 236.5± acre tract in Union County, Illinois is a top-tier, intensively managed hunting property with a proven track record of producing mature whitetails. Located in a highly desirable area known for strong genetics, this farm has been carefully developed and maintained to support older age class bucks and a healthy turkey population. The property offers an incredibly diverse blend of habitat types, creating an ideal environment for growing and holding wildlife year-round. A combination of CRP acreage and tillable income potential provides both financial return and habitat benefits, while the current owner typically plants approximately 25± acres in food plots to further enhance the property’s draw and holding power. Miles of edge and transition cover are found throughout the farm, creating ideal conditions for wildlife movement. The rolling topography features timbered ridges and draws that naturally form numerous funnels and pinch points, offering excellent stand locations and predictable deer movement during the rut. The timber consists of a mix of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, complemented by areas of native grasses and early successional habitat that provide exceptional bedding and security cover. Multiple creek drainages run through the property, supplying water and serving as key travel corridors, while a large pond adds both wildlife value and recreational appeal. Access across the farm is well thought out, with a solid internal trail system that allows for efficient movement without disturbing key areas. Several locations across the property offer ideal build sites with scenic views, making it suitable for a permanent residence or hunting lodge. With approximately 1,600 feet of road frontage, along with power available from Cypress Road and fiber internet along the frontage, the property is well-positioned for both recreation and development. For buyers seeking a turnkey, income-producing hunting farm with proven big buck history, extensive habitat improvements, and excellent access, this Union County property stands out as a premier opportunity.
