The proof is in the pictures! There’s no doubt this farm has what it takes to grow, hold and harvest giant Southern Illinois whitetails! Situated near the Ohio River, this property ranks among the top in terms of genetics and habitat. This farm has the perfect balance of habitat: 30% food and 70% cover. The food is broken down between 100 acres of row crops and 20 acres of food plots. The cover is an excellent mix of hardwood timber, overgrown pasture fields and river bottom thickets. Water is abundant with multiple ponds and a large creek running through the center of the farm. There are multiple entrance points with accessibility on the east side via Route 1 and on the north side via Pine Lane. There is minimal road frontage so the deer feel comfortable feeding in the large crop fields. A brand new 1,440 sq. ft. 3 bedroom 2 bath home/lodge was built in September of 2016. The home/lodge sits on a hill top at the end of Pine Lane and has a stunning view overlooking the farm’s crop fields below. There are multiple “lean-to” style metal shop buildings with plenty of room to store your gear and equipment. Recently there have been several improvements made to benefit both the landowner and the deer. Several creek crossings were installed to allow year-round access to all crop fields, as well as an ambush path when you’re hunting. Over 20 acres of food plots have been cleared, limed, fertilized and planted with all top end Whitetail Institute products. Tree limbs and other debris have been cleared back from field edges ensuring the farm tenant can operate equipment efficiently. As a land investor, you have a solid income stream of $25,000/year to offset the cost of ownership. There is also income from the standing timber that could be harvested day 1 with owning the farm. If you’re looking for a stellar deer hunting farm with 5-star deer habitat, a brand new home/lodge and a solid ROI, give us a call today and schedule your private tour!
