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 mind—producing 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.

It’s not often a property like this comes available in Calhoun County. This 149 acre turnkey waterfowl and whitetail hunting operation sits in the heart of an area known for producing consistent duck numbers, and it’s set up the right way from top to bottom. Approximately 137 acres of the property are enrolled in WRP, and it provides tremendous habitat for ducks, geese, giant whitetails, and abundant turkeys. This is a property built for reliability. The leveed duck impoundment is supported by a deep well with a 12-inch discharge, allowing you to control water levels when it matters most. Whether you’re holding birds during migration or keeping water open when conditions tighten up, this system gives you an advantage that many properties simply don’t have. The hunting setup is already in place and ready to go. Two buried pits are strategically positioned within the impoundment, offering excellent concealment and the ability to hunt varying wind conditions. The surrounding area is well known for strong duck traffic, and this farm sits right in the middle of it. Beyond waterfowl, the property offers tremendous whitetail deer hunting along with a strong population of turkeys. The combination of habitat, food, and surrounding landscape creates a year-round recreational property that checks multiple boxes for serious outdoorsmen. The improvements on this farm are just as impressive as the land itself. A very nice lodge overlooks the duck impoundment, giving you a front-row seat to morning hunts and evening flights. In addition, a guest house featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms sits overlooking beautiful wetlands, making this property ideal for hosting family, friends, or clients. Functionality was clearly a priority in the design of this property.

Access is excellent with a well-maintained gravel road leading to a gated entrance, providing both convenience and privacy. This is a true turnkey recreational property in one of Illinois’ most sought-after waterfowl regions. Everything is in place for the next owner to step in and start hunting on day one.
