Tract 2 of 6
Description
Tract 2 Description: 28.7339± acres
Located in Franklin County, Illinois, this tract offers a combination of tillable acreage and recreational opportunities that should appeal to both hunters and land investors. While agricultural ground makes up a larger portion of this tract, the surrounding habitat and proximity to quality deer cover create opportunities that extend well beyond farming.
The tillable acreage provides an opportunity for agricultural income, with the overall farm having a strong five-year production history for the area. The combination of income potential and recreational value is what makes this tract attractive.
From a hunting standpoint, the agricultural fields can play an important role in deer movement, particularly during the early and late portions of the season when food sources become increasingly important. The relationship between the open ground and surrounding timber creates opportunities to establish stand locations and take advantage of deer traveling between feeding and bedding areas.
For buyers looking for a property that offers both recreational use and agricultural income potential, this tract deserves consideration. It could also be an excellent addition to adjoining auction tracts, providing additional acreage and flexibility for hunting and land management.
