Property Highlights: 90± Acres 8±-Acre Waterfowl Impoundment with Gate System 3-4 Food Plots Great Trail System Great Deer, Duck & Turkey Hunting 1/2 Mile of Road Frontage It is difficult to find good Deer, Duck, and Turkey hunting, but this 90±-acre property offers all three at a great price. There is an 8±-acre waterfowl impoundment on the west side, featuring a gate system that allows you to drain the water to plant corn or millet, then close the gate and flood the impoundment naturally with rain. According to the seller, with the right food plots for waterfowl, you could harvest approximately 100-150 ducks per year. There are also several excellent locations in the mature timber where you could build a levee and create a flooded timber hole, with multiple types of oaks scattered throughout. I recommend selectively cutting everything but the oaks in the timber hole, leaving only the oaks to drop acorns into the flooded hole. The property also features a nice spot just off the road for a cabin, home, or camper overlooking the waterfowl/lake impoundment. Additionally, the farm has three to four food plot locations with a well-developed trail system for easy access throughout the property.

This 436 acre property has been designed to do something few properties ever achieve. It has been built for one purpose: to create a true wildlife sanctuary. For nearly two decades, this property has been managed with discipline, minimal intrusion, controlled access, and habitat designed for security. The result is something rarely seen: a herd of whitetail that moves without pressure, that feeds in daylight, and beds with a level of comfort that only comes from true seclusion. It's not uncommon to see large groups of deer in a single field with mature bucks mixed throughout - moving, feeding, and holding on the property. At the center of the farm, sits a 30 acre management field, once planted in alfalfa, where the number of deer feeding at one time has been described as staggering. Today, it's a blank slate for whatever food plot system you imagine with the potential to produce unmatched deer numbers. Adjacent to this field, a developing orchard adds another layer of attraction, creating both seasonal food and long-term habitat value. Clover, seasonal plantings, and surrounding cover create a reliable hub for both deer and turkey. Additional crop fields provide rotation, food, and income, while a hidden 10 acre field to the north offers one of the most strategic setups on the property. Water, staging cover, and natural travel patterns all come together in one place. Beyond the fields, the land changes. Old mine terrain creates thick, rugged bedding cover, nearly impenetrable in places, giving wildlife the security needed to reach maturity. The north boundary stretches nearly a mile wide, bordered by large neighboring landowners who are equally committed to managing for mature whitetails, creating a continuous block of ground where wildlife can live, move, and reach age without disruption. This is a farm where habitat, pressure, and layout all work together. A place where hunting becomes consistent, not by chance, but by design. In addition to premium deer and turkey hunting, with minor improvements, sections could be developed into waterfowl habitat, adding another layer of opportunity. A five-acre hilltop build site provides space for a lodge or cabin with utilities nearby, ready for development when you are. Located near Harrisburg with quick access to food, supplies, and daily needs. Sahara Lake sits just a few miles away for fishing, while the Shawnee National Forest, Garden of the Gods, and the surrounding trail systems offer additional outdoor recreation across the region. This is not just another hunting tract. It's a proven system, a controlled environment, and a rare opportunity to own a true Southern Illinois sanctuary. Property has a new gated entrance to the south with new rock. Property is in a conservation easement to protect the conservation of all the grounds, land, and habitat for wildlife. Give me a call if you would like to view the property as this is a one of a kind tract with more turkey and deer than I believe I have ever seen on a farm outside of a prime location I visited in Iowa.
