Pope County - 60 Harris Lane, Brookport, IL
Midwest Land Group is proud to present this 61 +/- acre farm. Located in Pope County, Illinois just 21 miles from Metropolis, Illinois, and I-24. This farm is at the end of a private county road with utilities including electricity and water available. As you pull into the property you will drive through pasture to the old home site, which burnt a few years back, and gaze across the rolling hills. Behind the old house, you will see the stocked pond.
This farm is currently being used as pasture for the owner's cattle. With the neighboring properties to the east and south being larger timber tracts this farm could be turned into a hunter's dream with food plots and native grasses. Just imagine sitting in a box blind looking down one of the ridge lines and watching deer and turkeys feed through the property. I found a shed antler and heard a couple of long beards gobbling as I toured this property. This farm could truly be set up for a great recreational property for all outdoors enthusiasts. With 61 +/- acres there is plenty of room for agriculture fields as well.
If you're looking for a great farm with many different options and a few different build sites give Land Agent Scott Schroeder a call to schedule your private tour.

Above the flat river bottom fields that adjoin the river, there is a hillside above flood plain ready for your dream home or lodge location with unblocked views of the Ohio River. This site offers breathtaking views of the Ohio River and surrounding forest. A spectacular sunrise over the river can be enjoyed from your living room or porch while ducks and geese fly overhead. In addition to waterfowl hunting, fishing opportunities are endless. Crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegill are steps away from the home site in your own pond. The Ohio River also offers unlimited fishing opportunities. With some work, a private boat ramp can be built off a creek bank to the river. In addition to waterfowl hunting and fishing, this farm offers some of the best Whitetail deer hunting Illinois has to offer. Giant Whitetails live on and around this farm, and the lush food plots pull them deep into the farm.</p>

<p>There is an old barn with hand-hewn beams that has been beautifully renovated and can be used as a venue for weddings or large gatherings. There is also a large open deck between the barn and an old home with enough room to hold 20 or more people or be used as a stage for a band or wedding. This open deck could also hold a large hot tub with views of the Ohio River backdrop. There is also an older horse stable barn to house your horses.</p>

<p>This is a unique farm with water frontage, income-producing potential, wildlife, and beautiful views that do not come available very often. It is a breathtaking, picturesque property worthy of a magazine cover. Give us a call if you are interested in taking a look.</p>
