Brown County - RR 1600N Ave, Mount Sterling, IL
Not only is this Brown co 33 acre parcel an outstanding hunting property but it also offers the opportunity to build your dream home in the country, and all conveniently located just 15 minutes from Mt Sterling IL. The 7 acres of alfalfa in the south field draws deer from all the surrounding properties. The thick timber also provides great security cover for many types of wildlife. The trail camera pictures from last season show great genetics with the potential of some big bucks calling this property home next hunting season. The blue line on the above aerial photo shows a road that can be used by foot or UTV to access the southern field. There is also a farming only easement that comes through the property to the east allowing large equipment access to the south field for farming purposes. This property is a rare find in one of the most desirable counties in IL. Contact me with any questions or to schedule a showing today.

Brown County - County Rd 200 n, Mount Sterling, IL
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">You can buy back the CRP and plant it if you want. 60.05 surveyed acres in Brown County, Illinois. Approximately 33 acres of CRP pay roughly $9000 annually from 2023-2033. (Approximate because it was recently surveyed off another piece, and a small part of the CRP goes with the other piece). The northwest side touches Siloam Springs State Park and has beautiful hardwoods, and the majority of the west side has hardwoods. The remainder is Cedar stands, pockets of timber, and native grasses. Great deer and turkey hunting, beautiful build site, quiet area. The seller has never run trail cameras; I put some out in mid-November in random places with no food, so there aren't more and better buck pictures. Asking $414,345 ($6900/Acre.) Contact the Legacy Land Co listing agent Cabot Benton for a private tour or if you have questions.</p>
