68.01 Acres in Villa Grove, IL - $595,000

Prairie Rim Ranch is an operational bison ranch, located north of Murdock and just off US-36. This is an exceptional opportunity if you are looking for an investment property, additional pastureland for livestock, or to expand or start your ranch. This property is second to none and has been set up to handle several head of bison, cows, horses, or whatever you choose to raise. Five individual pastures are connected and can be shut to keep animals off for rotational grazing. The two pasture areas located on the north side of the property can also be turned into hay fields or row crops if desired. All the fence is woven wire, with several strands of electric fence inside. Three water stations are conveniently located in the pasture areas, all of which are connected to the local water district. A corral area is located roughly in the middle of the individual pastures, making it convenient to vaccinate or corral the animals for whatever is needed. Two small wooded areas in both the north and south ends would provide great shade for the animals, as well as other large trees throughout. There are 4.79 acres of CRP located in the northwest corner, providing an annual income of $1,437 through 2027. The main cabin is located at the end of a long, winding driveway. The living area of the cabin is approximately 945 sq ft. Upon entering, you will find a spacious living room and kitchen area, that is great for entertaining friends and family. There are two bedrooms off the kitchen, as well as one full bathroom, which can also be accessed from the shop area. A screened-in porch is located on the front and is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise or unwind after a long day. The current owner rents this space out as an Airbnb for some additional income. There is a large shop area adjacent to the living quarters that can be accessed from inside the cabin or the exterior doors. Large sliding doors make it convenient to get small utility tractors or other equipment in. This is a great area to store and service all your equipment out of the elements. A smaller building south of the main cabin is currently used as a small store selling bison meat and other locally made items. This is a great property and an even better investment opportunity if you are looking to expand or get into the ranching business. There are also endless other recreational opportunities with this property. The owner would also be open to selling her herd bull and around 15 females. She would be willing to sell other items and equipment that would make this a turn-key operation. The bison and additional equipment are NOT included in the price of the current real estate listing.
