This is a great hunting property located in Pike County, Illinois. A branch of Dutch Creek runs throughout the property and lies in an area intensely managed by the local landowners. This property lays out great for hunting. The entire farm is made up of draws of timber, & great coves in the fields. There are two really nice ponds in the timber as well as a few spring fed creeks on the property. There are multiple great sites for food plots on the property. This farm is located just southeast of El Dara, but close to Pittsfield, Illinois (The County Seat of Pike County). As you can see from the pictures the property is covered up with deer sign and the present owner has harvested some great bucks on the property! The owner has gone to great lengths to improve the habitat on this property, including 4-5 acres of warm season grasses planted that have grow up to 6-8ft. tall to give the deer more bedding area on the property. There was also a fruit orchard planted on the property consisting of persimmon trees, pear trees, & crab apple trees. This fruit orchard is going to produce huge results in the coming years. There is great income potential on the property from the 47 acres of crops. The landowner is on 50/50 shares with the farmer & based on average crop yields & current prices the farm should produce a 3%-4% return! Give us a call to take a look at this great property.
