Turn-key hunting farm setup and ready to hunt the day you close!!! It’s not often you find a property in Southern Illinois that has all of the features that this 120 does. The owner has worked meticulously the past several years to design and build a whitetail empire. For starters, you have a gated entrance from the south just off a paved blacktop road. As you come through the gate you will notice a large open field, over 8 foot tall with tons of woody browse. This was previously crop and CRP, but it hasn't been cut in 3-4 years so it is ideal for whitetails and turkeys. There is a large wooded block of timber on the right, slightly falling down into a creek bottom that acts as a natural funnel during the rut. The further you get into the property, the more habitat improvements you’ll start to notice. The owner has cut a strategic trail system into the property giving you multiple stealt...
Turn-key hunting farm setup and ready to hunt the day you close!!! It’s not often you find a property in Southern Illinois that has all of the features that this 120 does. The owner has worked meticulously the past several years to design and build a whitetail empire. For starters, you have a gated entrance from the south just off a paved blacktop road. As you come through the gate you will notice a large open field, over 8 foot tall with tons of woody browse. This was previously crop and CRP, but it hasn't been cut in 3-4 years so it is ideal for whitetails and turkeys. There is a large wooded block of timber on the right, slightly falling down into a creek bottom that acts as a natural funnel during the rut. The further you get into the property, the more habitat improvements you’ll start to notice. The owner has cut a strategic trail system into the property giving you multiple stealthy access trails to use depending on the wind. There are 5 acres of corn professionally planted by a local farmer specifically to be left out for the deer this fall and winter. Surrounding several of those corn plots are green fall blend plots offering the deer a well-balanced mix of greens and grains. The green plots are located between the hardwood timber and the standing corn, giving the deer a place to stage and giving the hunter an excellent ambush position. The owner is leaving behind over $3,500 in like-new ladder stands with several X-Stands and several Millenium stands. This will give the new owner the opportunity to buy and hunt immediately. A large 2-acre pond stocked with bass and bluegill, surrounded by persimmon trees, is centrally located on the property and provides opportunities for fishing and a year-round water source for wildlife. The timber is enrolled in the Forestry Management Program and currently has a standing timber value of $80,000. The large oaks are plentiful, along with many other nut producing trees as well to feed the wildlife.
