This part of Madison County is known for its trophy buck potential. With sound management practices, this farm should consistently produce opportunities at mature bucks. Numerous quality bucks have been showing up regularly on cameras during daylight this summer. Two mature management bucks were harvested last fall, setting the stage for the up-and-comers to call this place home. A professional farm management plan is also in progress, focusing on enhancing bedding habitat and natural browse. The diversity on this farm is exactly what you'd draw up in a whitetail haven. The property consists of a mix of hardwood timber, open prairie, 10 acres planted to corn, clover food plots, apple trees, cedars, three ponds, and multiple creek drainages. The amount of wildlife on this property is already extremely high and should only continue to improve as the farm management plan progresses. While taking photos, I spotted deer, turkeys, and pheasants and a covey of quail could be heard off in the distance.

A well-maintained trail system allows you to navigate the property quietly and strategically position yourself for optimal hunting success. The sale even includes two elevated blinds to get you started. With numerous additional spots to set up tree stands or blinds depending on wind direction and deer movement, you can customize your approach as needed. The rolling terrain allows you to access the land creatively to avoid spooking game.

This isn't just a hunter's paradise it's a great place for weekend getaways too. Explore the property on your UTV, hike the mowed trails, or simply relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Electricity is available nearby and would only need to be extended a short distance. Rural water is not available, so a well would have to be drilled. Opportunities of this sort are very limited in today's market - don't miss your chance to own a piece of paradise in Madison County!
