52 Acres Bordering Argyle Lake State Park with Hunting, Income, and Build Sites | McDonough County, Illinois
Located in McDonough County, Illinois just 7 miles west of Macomb, this 52 acre property offers a rare opportunity to own land directly bordering Argyle Lake State Park. With over 1,700 acres of protected forest and recreation immediately to the south, the surrounding habitat helps support a strong deer population and creates excellent hunting potential for landowners.
The property is made up primarily of mature hardwood timber with a year-round creek running through the center and predominantly south-facing slopes that naturally encourage whitetail bedding and movement. The combination of timber, terrain, and water makes this farm well suited for hunting, recreation, and long-term habitat management.
Approximately 12+ acres of row crop ground with a PI of 103 currently provides farm income and a natural food source for wildlife. Additional areas could be converted into food plots, pasture, or prairie habitat improvements depending on a buyer's vision for the property.
A recently dredged -acre pond stocked with large channel catfish creates a scenic setting and a popular gathering spot on the farm. With electrical service available and multiple elevated build sites overlooking the timber and valley below, the property is well suited for a rural home, cabin, or weekend retreat.
