Location, location, location! The old saying holds true with this farm. Situated in a big buck hotspot in Southern Illinois, this farm has a few special ingredients.

Half of the property is NO Hunting and half of the property is open to the public. This gives you a nice sanctuary to hold big bucks.

With its rolling topography, numerous funnels, and natural pinch points, this property offers exceptional hunting setups. A small pond, creek, and multiple feeder streams enhance the habitat, supporting both wildlife and potential water sources for future use. Several established food plots and a well-maintained trail system allow for easy navigation and strategic hunting access.

This charming 79 acre farm offers many features and benefits, making it an excellent investment opportunity. At the heart of the property is a lovely cabin that generates income through its consistent rentals on Airbnb. The seller has noted the cabin is frequently booked, yet you have the flexibility to block off any dates for personal use. Situated at the end of a quiet, dead-end road, the property provides direct access to thousands of acres of the Shawnee National Forest. This area is known for its remote beauty and offers fantastic opportunities for hiking and hunting without the crowds, allowing you to explore miles of pristine wilderness. The land includes several hidden fields that can potentially be established as food plots and a large agricultural field that attracts deer from the surrounding timber. Personally, I would recommend planting approximately 6 to 7 acres dedicated to food plots, while converting the remaining tillable land into Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) warm-season grasses to enhance the habitat and promote wildlife conservation.
