Description
Located in Wayne County, Illinois, just 5 miles from Cisne and 12 miles from Flora, this 40± acre farm offers a rare combination of strong agricultural income and proven mature whitetail hunting. Properties that consistently deliver both return and recreation are increasingly hard to find, making this an excellent opportunity for farmers, investors, and serious hunters alike. As a bonus, this farm comes with a 600 sq ft home just 6 miles from the farm and close to local amenities.
The farm includes approximately 27± acres of productive tillable ground, providing immediate income potential and long-term investment stability. Beyond the annual return, the scale of this tillable acreage serves as a true destination food source that consistently attracts and holds deer. Large ag fields in this area are a major driver of mature buck movement, and this property benefits directly from that dynamic. Whether farmed personally or leased, the income-producing component adds measurable value and reliability.
Complementing the tillable acres are approximately 13± acres of timber that add diversity and significantly enhance the property’s huntability. The layout naturally connects bedding cover to food, creating defined movement patterns that can be strategically hunted. Subtle terrain features and natural pinch points help concentrate deer travel, offering multiple high-percentage stand locations.
This farm has a strong history of deer activity and displays the kind of sign serious hunters want to see. While walking the property in the snow, the volume of tracks and overall deer movement was impressive and speaks to how frequently this tract is used. The combination of cover, food, and terrain creates consistent opportunities to encounter mature bucks.
A water hole further strengthens the property’s ability to hold wildlife year-round. With reliable water, nearby bedding areas, and abundant food sources, the farm offers everything deer need within its boundaries—encouraging daylight activity and increasing hunting success.
There is also excellent potential to enhance the property even further. Strategic food plots or small kill plots could be positioned along transition areas or near bedding cover to refine early- and late-season setups as well as add in some access cover. Personally I would replace some of the tillable acres with switchgrass. With thoughtful planning, a new owner could take an already strong hunting farm and make it even more efficient.
Road frontage on two sides is another major advantage, providing flexible access under varying wind conditions. Multiple entry and exit options allow hunters to approach stands carefully without disturbing deer movement. This access also benefits farming operations and simplifies overall management.
Whether you’re looking for dependable farm income, a proven hunting property, or a balanced investment that offers both, this 40± acre Wayne County tract delivers. With productive tillable ground, quality timber, strong deer history, and strategic layout, this is a property that offers immediate enjoyment and long-term value.
