Tract 3 of 6
Description
Tract 3 Description:
This could be the most versatile tract offered at the auction, combining unlimited habitat design potential with strong annual income. This 80± acre property in Hamilton County, Illinois, can offer an ideal blend of food, cover, and bedding opportunities while maintaining productive tillable acres that provide a consistent return. Another standout potential on this tract is that there is a potential 8-10 acre lake site that not only adds to the aesthetics of this already beautiful tract it would also direct deer around the lake to 2 or 3 small pinch point areas ideal for stand locations.
The farm features public road frontage, allowing for excellent access for equipment, farm operations, and recreational use. The diverse layout includes a mix of tillable ground, open grass acreage, and timber, creating endless options for wildlife management, hunting setups, and future land use planning.
Approximately 28 acres are in tillable production with a strong Productivity Index of 99.75. These acres not only provide solid annual income but also offer flexibility for incorporation into food plot programs, strategic crop rotation, or continued lease income.
Nearly 20 acres consist of open, mowed grass, presenting outstanding opportunities for habitat development. These areas are perfectly suited for converting to warm-season grasses, food plots, or additional bedding cover, while still offering potential build-site locations depending on the buyer’s vision. The open ground creates excellent transitions and allows for efficient movement and management across the property.
The remaining 32± acres of timber provide quality cover and natural security, with visible wildlife activity throughout. This timber ties seamlessly into the open and tillable areas, forming natural travel corridors that are ideal for stand placement and hunting strategies. The edge habitat created by this layout is a major asset for consistently holding and moving deer within the property.
The combination of income-producing farmland, open habitat development areas, and timbered cover makes this tract exceptionally well-rounded. Whether the goal is building a high-performing whitetail property, generating reliable farm income, or securing a versatile recreational tract, this farm offers the flexibility to accomplish it all.
With its strong mix of land types, public road access, and location in Hamilton County, this 80± acre tract stands out as a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a property that performs both as an investment and as a premier recreational asset.
