Located in White County, Illinois, just 19 miles from Carmi and 37 miles from Evansville, this 18± acre property offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a smaller hunting tract with strong habitat, future build potential, and plenty of flexibility.

Approximately 14± acres of timber have recently undergone a selective timber harvest. The harvest has opened portions of the canopy, allowing additional sunlight to reach the forest floor and encouraging new growth and native browse throughout the property. This combination of thicker understory vegetation and increased browse should continue to improve both bedding cover and available food for whitetails as the timber regenerates.

The deer are already taking advantage of the habitat. While walking the property, I jumped more than 10 deer that were bedded throughout the thick grass and cover, providing a pretty good indication of how heavily the property is currently being used.

The remaining 4± acres consist of level, open grass that provides several options for a new owner. For the hunter, this area could be converted into a large destination food plot or divided into multiple smaller plots designed around the surrounding bedding cover and timber. With deer already bedding on and around the property, adding a quality food source could make this small tract hunt considerably larger than its acreage would suggest.

The open ground also provides an excellent potential location for a future home or cabin. Road frontage and level terrain provide convenient access and make the property equally appealing to someone looking for a recreational tract with the option to build in the future.

One of the strongest features of this property is the amount of habitat diversity packed into only 18± acres. Thick bedding cover, regenerating timber, increased native browse, tall grass, and open ground suitable for future food plots all come together to provide the basic ingredients needed to develop a very effective small hunting property.

The location is another benefit. At approximately 19 miles from Carmi and 37 miles from Evansville, the property offers convenient access to shopping, restaurants, fuel, and other amenities while maintaining the privacy and rural setting you would expect from a recreational tract.

Whether you're looking for a manageable hunting property, a future country homesite, or a tract you can continue improving through food plots and habitat management, this 18± acre White County property offers immediate wildlife activity and plenty of potential for the future.
