Sangamon County - 3755 Timber Ridge Drive, Cantrall, IL
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly improved, contiguous 663± acre farm in northern Sangamon County bordering the Sangamon River. The property includes approximately 301 tillable acres with an impressive average PI of 119.6, 223 acres of pasture, 103 acres of mature timber, with the balance in ponds, roads, and improvements. An additional 93± acres of gently to moderately rolling pasture offers strong potential for conversion to cropland, providing a meaningful opportunity to expand production.
The pasture is thoughtfully designed for both livestock and equestrian operations with multiple fenced paddocks, automatic waterers, scattered ponds, and areas currently used for hay production. Mature timber lines the south and west ridges overlooking the Sangamon River, creating exceptional scenery, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. A network of internal gravel and dirt roads provides convenient access throughout the farm.
Timber Ridge is a true turnkey agricultural and recreational property featuring several acres of well-maintained improvements, including a residence, 24-stall horse barn, indoor riding arena, shop/machine shed, hay shed, three storage buildings, bull barn, multiple livestock shelters, and approximately six miles of newer fencing. The improvements are well suited for professional farming, cattle production, and equestrian operations. Public water services the home and horse barn, while propane, well water, and solar panels support the remaining improvements.
Access is excellent from Cantrall Creek Road, just 3 miles east of Illinois Route 97 and only 12 minutes from Springfield, providing convenient access to regional markets. Grain marketing is supported by the local elevator in Athens and river terminals in Beardstown.
The property consists of 15 parcels and is enrolled under FSA Farm Numbers 12586 and 3923. The seller will not divide. Large, high-quality contiguous farms with this level of productivity, infrastructure, and recreational appeal are increasingly difficult to find in Central Illinois.
2025 Crop Production: Corn: 18,710.37 bushels, Soybeans: 4,806.42 bushels

Sangamon County - 000 Oak Crest Rd, Riverton, IL
Situated along the banks of the Sangamon River and only minutes from Springfield sits this exceptional big buck hunting property, offering a prime opportunity for the avid hunter. Having personally hunted this farm and being very familiar with the surrounding area, its easy to recognize why this part of the county has a long history of producing quality whitetails, with great bucks consistently harvested year after year. Historical trail camera photos I captured while hunting the property further showcase the caliber of deer this area is capable of producing. On the southern edge of the property, you'll find 16.9 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP - Tree Program), creating a dense and effective buffer that provides exceptional screening from the county road, which is now a dead-end road. In the northwest corner, an additional 15.90 acres of CRP (Native Grasses) offers excellent cover and further enhances the property's wildlife appeal. The abundance of cover throughout the farm helps establish a true sanctuary for wildlife while also creating outstanding opportunities for strategic food plot placement to help draw and hold deer from surrounding properties. Two gated access points enhance the property's accessibility, allowing you to take advantage of favorable wind conditions when entering or exiting stand locations. This type of access is a major asset when looking to slip in and out of stand locations without bumping deer. Another noteworthy feature is the substantial income generated through the CRP Program. Currently, 32.80 total acres are enrolled, generating an impressive annual income of $11,132.00, averaging $339.39 per acre. In addition, if a future owner chose to lease the hunting rights, the property has recently generated an additional $6,800 annually through a hunting lease. This added income potential further enhances the appeal of this outstanding hunting and recreational property. This farm not only offers phenomenal hunting habitat and strategic hunting features but also provides a strong financial return. Dont miss the opportunity to own a property that combines recreation, income, and proven big buck potential in a highly desirable area.

End users looking for a dream home: Imagine creating a sprawling ranch-style estate with nearly eight acres of room for a custom home, detached workshop, gardens, hobby farm, outdoor recreation, or simply the privacy and elbow room that’s nearly impossible to find this close to town.
Adding even more appeal, the property directly borders the newly rebuilt Sangamon Valley Bike Trail, offering immediate access to miles of beautifully maintained walking, running, and cycling trails—a unique amenity that enhances both lifestyle and future property value.
Despite its peaceful setting, you’re only six minutes from Springfield’s premier shopping, dining, and entertainment district, giving you quick access to everything you need while enjoying the space and tranquility of country living.
Best of all, this property is priced well below market value, creating an exceptional opportunity to build instant equity. Owner financing is available, making it easier for qualified buyers to move forward with their plans.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
