Jackson County - 98 Indian Creek Road, Carbondale, IL
17.5 Acres of Untouched Timber | Jackson County, IL
The Ultimate Secluded Southern Illinois Retreat
Hidden away south of Carbondale, this 17.5-acre tract is the definition of a "honey hole." If you’ve been searching for a private hunting sanctuary or a quiet timber investment where the only noise is the wind through the hardwoods, this is it. Accessed via a private easement off Indian Creek Road, this property offers the kind of deep-woods privacy that is becoming increasingly hard to find.
Property Highlights
Zero Hunting Pressure: This property hasn’t been hunted in several years, acting as a natural sanctuary for the local wildlife.
Diverse Topography: A true "mixed bag" of terrain. Experience classic Southern Illinois rolling hills that transition into a rich, fertile creek bottom—perfect for bedding areas and travel corridors.
Unique Northern Flats: The northern portion of the acreage flattens out, characterized by beautiful shallow creeks winding through the timber, providing a consistent water source and picturesque landscape.
Heavy Deer Sign: The property is currently loaded with active deer sign, from established trails to rubs, proving that the local herd calls this untouched timber home.
A Hunter’s Strategic Advantage
The combination of the rolling ridges for glassing and the creek-bottom funnels creates a natural "pinch point" for mature whitetails. With no recent hunting pressure, the 17.5 acres feels much larger than it is, offering multiple stand sites for various wind directions.
Location
Situated in the heart of Jackson County, you are just a short drive from the amenities of Carbondale and the beauty of the Shawnee National Forest, yet once you cross the easement, you are in a world of your own.
Broker’s Insight: "It’s rare to find a smaller tract that offers this much topographic diversity. Between the elevation changes and the year-round water in the creek bottoms, this is a turnkey wildlife sanctuary that has been 'resting' for years. It's ready for a new owner to reap the rewards."
