160.62± Acre Premier Hunting & Investment Farm | West of Varna, IL
Located less than a mile south of the well known Lake Wildwood—a 1,400-acre private lake community with no hunting allowed—this 160.62± acre parcel offers a rare opportunity for the serious whitetail hunter and savvy land investor alike.
World-Class Whitetail Funnel
This farm defines the concept of a funnel. As the first significant cover north of miles of agricultural fields, it naturally draws deer traveling from the ag lands to the surrounding timber to the north. Narrow draws and natural pinch points throughout the property force deer into tight travel corridors—many within bow range—making this an ideal setup for archery hunters.
A centrally located 8.96-acre bottom field provides an excellent opportunity for a destination food plot to hold deer on your farm year-round.
With oil-and-chip road frontage on the north side (with utilities available) and additional oil-and-chip access to the southeast, you’ll have multiple strategic entry points. This layout allows stealthy approaches from the south when winds are out of the north or west—a key feature for successful hunting. With the great access, this farm hunts huge!
