Description
Located in Wayne County, Illinois, this 182± acre property is a highly developed and professionally designed hunting farm with a clear emphasis on growing, holding, and hunting mature whitetails. Thoughtfully improved with a strong understanding of deer behavior, habitat management, and access strategy, this is a true turnkey hunting property that has been carefully set up to maximize both huntability and long-term wildlife potential. From the moment you step onto the farm, it’s evident the layout was built with purpose—blending food, cover, water, and controlled movement to create a property that consistently produces.
Approximately 36± acres of income-producing tillable ground provide both return and a valuable food component, complementing a highly strategic habitat layout built around attracting and holding deer year-round. The farm features approximately 22± acres of switchgrass bedding cover, mature producing white oaks, planted trees, established food plots, and multiple water holes, creating all the core ingredients needed to support a healthy and huntable deer population. Giant miscanthus screening has been thoughtfully established to allow for undetected access to the farm while preventing peering eyes from the road. Strategically placed high fencing helps guide movement, form travel corridors, and create predictable pinch points that can be hunted under a variety of wind conditions. It’s the kind of design often seen on professionally managed whitetail farms, where every improvement serves a purpose.
The deer hunting setup is exceptional, with proven big buck history, visible sign throughout, multiple blinds already in place, and a layout that allows hunters to move through the farm with minimal intrusion. A full internal trail system further enhances access and usability, making it easy to slip into stands, manage habitat, or simply enjoy the property. Beyond its whitetail appeal, the farm also offers excellent turkey hunting, with the diverse blend of cover, food sources, open areas, and timber edge habitat providing ideal conditions for a thriving turkey population.
A 345± square foot cabin adds comfort and convenience for weekend use or extended stays during hunting season, while gated entrances provide privacy and controlled access. This is a rare opportunity to own a farm where the hard work has already been done—a well-balanced, income-producing property with professionally implemented habitat improvements, outstanding deer and turkey hunting, and the proven history to back it up.
