Opportunities to own a farm of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Spanning 378 acres located in North Calhoun County, Illinois, this premier hunting and recreational property has been developed and managed with one purpose in mindproducing and holding mature whitetail deer. Over the past several years, every aspect of this farm has been thoughtfully designed to maximize wildlife habitat. The property features 13 established food plots all strategically placed, 9 well-positioned hunting blinds, numerous treestands, extensive trail systems with gated access, and miscanthus grass screenings. Four ponds provide year-round water sources, while mature hardwood timber, diverse native cover, and thoughtfully established fruit tree plantings create exceptional bedding, feeding, and travel corridors. 73.88 acres are currently enrolled in CRP, generating annual income while simultaneously enhancing habitat quality. The result is a farm that consistently supports a healthy deer herd year after year. The hunting opportunities extend beyond deer. A healthy turkey population and abundant small game provide year-round recreational enjoyment for outdoor enthusiasts. Improvements on the property are equally impressive. The main residence offers a comfortable and updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath floor plan with an open-concept living area, making it an ideal hunting cabin or weekend retreat. Two outbuildings accompany the main home, providing ample storage for equipment and recreational vehicles. A second outbuilding is equipped with living quarters and utilities, creating additional guest accommodations. The property also includes an additional building site featuring an existing foundation, utilities, and another outbuilding, offering excellent potential for future expansion. Located just 1 hour and 40 minutes from Lambert International Airport, this extraordinary property combines world-class hunting, income-producing acreage, quality improvements, and unmatched habitat development into one complete package. For the buyer seeking one of the Midwest’s premier whitetail hunting farms, this is an opportunity that deserves serious consideration.
