Tucked away in the rolling hills of southern Schuyler County, Illinois, this exceptional 189 acre farm offers an outstanding combination of luxury, income, and recreation. Featuring a beautiful log home, productive tillable acreage, premier whitetail hunting, access from three sides, and breathtaking views, this is a property that truly has it all.
A beautiful 4-bedroom, 4-bath (2 full, 2 half) log home is the centerpiece of the property. Accessed from Highway 103 via a private drive, the home occupies one of the highest elevations in Schuyler County, offering truly spectacular views. Built in 1993, this home was designed with family and memories in mind. Upon entering, visitors are welcomed by a spacious kitchen and a grand brick fireplace that anchors the living room. A lofted second floor provides two extra bedrooms, a full bath and a bonus room currently used for extra bed space. The lower level adds a recreation room, 6-bed bunk room, ample storage, a half bath and a sauna room. The storage area also has an extra shower and utility room. The laundry room is located on the main level within the guest bathroolm. A two-car garage and wraparound porch add even more space and area for hosting, family gatherings or one of the best cups of coffee a person could ask for. The back porch offers views of the entire farm and, on a clear day, the Rushville water tower which is more than 6 miles away. The front porch overlooks the garden, the largest block of tillable ground (full of deer and wildlife) and endless views of the Illinois river bottom in winter time.
The farm stretches from south to north, with State Highway 103 forming the southern boundary and Chapman Lane providing access along the northern edge. Approximately 75 tillable acres generate $250 per acre in annual cash rent with an excellent tenant in place for the 2027 crop year. Large blocks of mature hardwood timber, wooded draws, edge habitat, and secluded pockets of cover create ideal travel corridors for wildlife while offering exceptional hunting opportunities. A well-maintained trail system adds ease of access throughout the entire farm. A small pond is located on the northwest corner of the property and the topography adds several locations for additional pond/lake sites.
The property has been lightly hunted by the same family for many years and has a proven history of producing mature whitetails while supporting an abundant turkey population. Trail camera photos from the fall and winter of 2025 show an impressive number of younger bucks, highlighting the farm's outstanding future hunting potential.
Three outbuildings are located on the south end of the property, one of which features a shop complete with 220-amp power and a built-in dust collection system. Half of this building is rented to the farmer as part of the cash rent agreement. The gray shed and red shed are complete with a concrete floor.

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, income-producing investment, or one of the finest hunting properties in western Illinois, this Schuyler County farm checks every box.
