Fall Drive , Sparta, IL 62286(Randolph County)

This farm is located four miles east of Sparta off Fall Drive. After my tour and seeing all this property has to offer, I have decided to describe it as a Sportsman's "Dream Forty". Trophy deer hunting, turkey hunting, waterfowl hunting, fishing, swimming, trail riding and more, all on beautifully maintained and managed acres. After enjoying the property all day, you can retire to the nice 30 x 50 building with living quarters to relax and get ready for the next day's adventure. The property consists of 15 acres of mature timber, a 2-acre lake, creek, and the balance of the acres are retired tillable acreage that has been allowed to naturally regenerate for the last 8 years. There has also been 1000's of specific tree plantings mixed in. This natural regeneration has turned into the ideal bedding area for whitetail and the buck sign that this property has is really unbelievable until you see it for yourself. There is an elaborate, well maintained trail system that leads through the entire property and it really gives the farm the feel of a much larger property. The 2-acre stocked lake is breathtaking and offers immediate spring and summer recreation opportunities, as well as waterfowl hunting opportunities in the winter as this property is in the flyway. If you are looking for a small farm that allows you to do it all, then you really need to check this one out. I guarantee you will enjoy the tour as I have never been on a more meticulously maintained property that offers this many recreational opportunities, and I doubt that you have either.
