Opportunities to purchase quality timberland in this area of Christian County are few and far between, making this 54.26-acre property a unique opportunity for anyone looking for a secluded hunting and recreational tract. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Taylorville and 20 minutes from Springfield, this property offers a secluded setting while remaining within a short drive of nearby amenities. With a current survey, predominantly wooded terrain, and Bear Creek running through the southern portion of the property, this farm offers privacy, natural features, and excellent opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
One of the standout features is the property's access. An owned 20-foot-wide strip extends approximately 2,200 feet from the road back to the timber and continues along the entire northern edge of the timber. This provides access to multiple locations throughout the property and connects with the established trail system, making it easier to navigate and reach different areas of the tract.
The property's surrounding landscape adds to its appeal. To the north, the property borders mostly open agricultural fields, creating a natural transition between productive farmland and secluded timber. To the south, the land lies along the natural drainage of Bear Creek, providing an attractive landscape feature and an ideal setting for wildlife habitat. The combination of open agricultural ground to the north and creek-bottom timber to the south creates a diverse environment with excellent potential for hunting and outdoor recreation.
The predominantly timbered landscape provides opportunities for hunting and other outdoor recreation, while Bear Creek adds another attractive natural feature along the southern portion of the property. Established trails throughout the timber offer convenient access for exploring the property and reaching various areas.
Located in an area where timber tracts rarely come on the market, this 54.26-acre property is an opportunity to own a secluded piece of Christian County with hunting, recreational, and long-term land ownership potential.
