187.9 Acres in Golconda, IL - $485,000
Located in one of the top whitetail producing areas in Southern Illinois, this farm is the epitome of prime whitetail habitat. The timber is laid out well to hold and grow mature deer. There are small pockets of cedars scattered throughout, but the overall mix is 2/3 hardwoods and 1/3 cedar. This provides great bedding habitat 365 days a year and in the fall will produce enough mast to feed the local herd. When you look at the farm as a whole, the balance of habitat looks even better. The farm is approximately 70% hardwood timber, 20% cedar thickets and 10% food. This is pretty rare in our part of the country to have a well-balanced farm with food, water and cover. A small creek meanders through the farm and there is a small pond on the southern end providing a place for the deer to drink before they hit the big crop fields. The farm is accessible from the north (Grasty Road) and from th...

The farm is accessible from the north (Grasty Road) and from the south (Macedonia). A functional 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom farmhouse sits on the southern end of the property. The house can accommodate 5-6 guests and has served as a great hunting lodge in years past. The current owners have only allowed archery hunting the past 14 years in an effort to keep the hunting pressure low. Give me a call so that I can show you a farm with all of the right pieces to the puzzle.
