Located in the rolling hills of Brown County, Illinois—one of the most renowned whitetail regions in the Midwest—this 97.8-acre property offers the ultimate combination of hunting, income, and comfort. Featuring a mix of mature hardwoods, thick bedding cover, income-producing tillable acres, and a move-in-ready cabin, this tract has everything the serious outdoorsman or land investor could ask for.
Approximately 11.5 acres of productive tillable ground provide steady annual income while doubling as a built-in food source for deer and turkey. The remaining acreage is comprised of mature oak and hickory timber, brushy draws, and natural funnels, creating a textbook setup for holding and growing mature whitetails. The rolling terrain and diverse habitat allow for multiple stand locations and ideal access routes to hunt different wind directions effectively.
The property also includes a cozy two-bedroom, one-bath cabin, making it the perfect hunting base camp or weekend getaway. The cabin features an open-concept kitchen and living area, full utilities, and a covered porch overlooking the timber—an inviting spot to relax after a long day in the stand or enjoy an evening campfire with friends.
This farm hunts larger than its size thanks to its layout, cover diversity, and secluded setting. The surrounding neighborhood is well-managed and consistently produces trophy-caliber whitetails.
