Top Shelf Hunting Property in McDonough And Schuyler Counties

This property is situated in southern McDonough and northern Schuyler Counties, offering a balance of income, recreation, and strong whitetail habitat, along with a proven history. Located in the Lamoine River bottoms, this farm sits in a neighborhood of large landowners known for consistent management for quality whitetail hunting opportunities. The layout and features of this property position it as one of the best hunting properties to have hit the market recently.There are 36.71+/- acres of tillable farmland and an additional 1.81 acres enrolled in CRP through 2030, paying $411 annually. The tillable ground not only provides income but also contributes to the overall habitat diversity. Giant Miscanthus plantings line much of the north and northeast boundaries, screening the property from the roads, adding privacy and seclusion. Food plots are already established, surrounded by thick bedding cover and a year-round creek that flows through the southern part of the property.An internal trail system allows easy access to food plots and stand locations. Strategic diversion fencing near one food plot helps create predictable movement patterns. The properties' proven trail camera history showcases the genetics for top-end whitetails in the area. For improvements, a small hunter's cabin is partially finished and ready for completion. Power and water are available along the blacktop, along with additional build sites for anyone looking to add a lodge or residence. This property provides a combination of tillable income, habitat design, water resources, and is located in one of Western Illinois' most highly sought-after areas.
