575 Acre Generational Farm for Sale
Rarely does a property of this scale, diversity, and beauty come to market. Located just 25 miles from Peoria in Knox County, Illinois, this breathtaking 575± acre estate offers a combination of income, recreation, and long-term upside that is nearly impossible to replicate.
At the heart of the property are six pristine lakes totaling approximately 70 acres of water, providing outstanding fishing and year-round visual appeal. The land also features 306± tillable acres, delivering strong and consistent farm income while enhancing the property’s overall investment profile.
Recreation here is nothing short of exceptional. The property is loaded with incredible waterfowl hunting and an established trophy whitetail deer population that rivals some of the finest ground in the Midwest.

Recreation here is nothing short of exceptional. The property is loaded with incredible waterfowl hunting and an established trophy whitetail deer population that rivals some of the finest ground in the Midwest. With minimal enhancement, the upside is tremendous — the addition of strategically placed water-controlled wetlands would significantly elevate duck numbers, while expanded switchgrass plantings would dramatically increase whitetail holding capacity.
Access and improvements are equally impressive. A well-maintained gravel road leads through the property to the center, where a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cabin provides a comfortable base for extended stays. Supporting the operation are a 60’ x 48’ garage and a new 90’ x 48’ Morton building, offering ample storage for equipment, boats, and recreational gear. Electric service runs throughout the property, including to the northern boundary where a boat house sits on the water — a rare and valuable feature for a property of this size.
With power already in place, the opportunity to install ice eaters and aerators could maintain open water throughout the winter months, further enhancing waterfowl use and year-round enjoyment.
Large, contiguous tracts like this — combining significant water, income-producing farmland, top-tier hunting, and high-quality improvements — are increasingly rare. Whether envisioned as a premier recreational retreat, a long-term land investment, or a multi-generational legacy property, this Knox County offering stands in a class of its own.
