Check out this all-around sportsman’s paradise in Southern Illinois! A farm of this caliber is rare in the fact that it has 6 lb. bass, 150” deer, tons of toms and wood ducks galore. It would make a great farm for several families to purchase together. There are several sites along the black top road to build a cabin overlooking the lake. Beyond the northern lake is the largest open field. For the die-hard deer hunter, this is where I would plant 10-20 acres of row crops. Even without this attractive food source you can see from the trail camera pictures that the big boys are already using the farm.

There are crop fields on the east, south and west sides making this farm the travel and bedding hub. Several natural pinch points create the perfect place to catch a daytime buck cruising. The farm is accessible via Harco Road on the west side so you actually have two access points, giving you the option to play the wind. The owners have made a shooting range so you’ll have a place to practice with your firearms. Priced below $2,000/acre, I do not expect this one to last long.
