Monroe County - 000 South Fork Road, Red Bud, IL
This productive and well-managed tillable tract is located just west of Red Bud, Illinois, with road frontage along South Fork Road. Great access, convenience to town, and productive crop history make this 40-acre tract a great opportunity for a farmer looking to add to their operation or an investment-minded buyer looking to buy land in a sought-after area.
Tracts like this in Monroe County, with convenience to both Red Bud and Waterloo, just off State Route 3, do not come available often. This farm boasts productive creek bottom soils with a history of consistent corn and soybean yields.
With Horse Creek on the eastern boundary acting as a major travel corridor, this tract also has solid deer hunting potential. With large timber tracts nearby, this creek bottom could be a fantastic ambush point on a cool November day. The waterway that runs through the property not only helps with soil drainage but could be utilized for a future impoundment for waterfowl, as this property lies between the Mississippi and Kaskaskia Rivers, both major flyways.
