Description
This recently surveyed farm is located in Winnebago County, Illinois, and offers a well-balanced mix of productive farmland, conservation ground, and timber, giving it both income potential and strong recreational appeal. Access comes directly off Telegraph Road, where there is ample room for a proper field entrance and equipment access. The south side of the property is naturally screened by timber and CRP along the road, providing privacy and a tucked-away feel once you are on the farm. The interior of the property consists of approximately 38 acres of productive tillable ground with a rolling composition. The terrain lies well and provides natural contour that breaks up sight lines and adds visual interest across the farm. These acres offer built-in income with a current farm tenant in place, providing immediate return while allowing flexibility for future ownership plans, conservation practices, or recreational improvements. On the western side of the property, acreage is enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program alongside timber running the boundary. This portion of the farm provides excellent bedding and security cover for wildlife while also contributing to long-term habitat stability. The mix of CRP grasses and timber creates a natural transition zone that deer and other wildlife use consistently. The eastern side of the property features approximately 11 acres of hardwood timber with a trail system that winds through the woods and crosses a creek that adds both character and function to the farm. The creek corridor enhances wildlife movement, provides a natural water source, and creates scenic appeal within the timber. This area offers excellent hunting opportunities and includes grass coves that could easily be converted into food plots, staging areas, or additional habitat improvements for deer and turkey. The timber layout allows for multiple access routes and stand locations depending on wind and season. Location continues to be a strong point with convenient access to US Route 20 and Interstate 90, making travel to Rockford and the surrounding markets quick and simple. Even with that convenience, the property maintains a rural feel once you are on the ground. This is the kind of farm that works for a wide range of buyers, whether you are a hunter looking for a weekend retreat, a landowner wanting a manageable recreational property, or an investor seeking income with long-term upside. Farms of this size and diversity are not common in Winnebago County and tend to move quickly. The property can be purchased on its own or in combination with the adjoining 47± acres, offering the opportunity to expand acreage, increase income potential, and create a larger recreational or investment farm. Subject to 2026 farm lease.
