Premier 210 Acre Whitetail Hunting & Income Farm - Brown County

Offered for sale is an exceptional mid-sized recreational and income-producing property in one of Illinois' most sought-after hunting destinations. This 210 acre farm offers the ideal blend of trophy whitetail habitat, productive farmland, water features, and strong return potential - all in a manageable, highly huntable layout.

The farm includes approximately 90.6 acres of tillable ground currently in production, carrying an impressive 113 Productivity Index. The tillable acreage provides dependable income while also serving as a destination food source that helps hold and pattern deer throughout the season.

Dry Fork Creek runs through the property year-round, creating a natural travel corridor and consistent water source for wildlife. In addition, three well-established ponds enhance the farm's habitat diversity while offering fishing and additional water access across the property.

The balance of the acreage consists of mature hardwood timber, thick bedding cover, and transition zones that naturally funnel deer movement. Rolling topography, timbered ridges, creek bottoms, and edge habitat combine to create ideal stand locations for multiple wind directions and efficient access throughout the farm.

Access is a major strength of this tract, with established entry points from the south and east - ideal for hunting predominant wind directions and allowing hunters to slip in and out without disturbing core bedding areas. For its size, this property truly hunts big, offering the feel and function of a much larger farm thanks to its layout, cover, and access strategy.

A two-bedroom, one-bath home sits on the property, making this the perfect turnkey hunting camp. Walk out the door and head straight to the stand. An outbuilding near the home provides excellent storage for equipment, ATVs, tractors, and hunting gear - allowing for both recreational use and farm management.

Also included are two Banks Stump 4 Phantom 360 blinds, strategically positioned to take advantage of key travel corridors and food sources.

This property delivers the ideal combination of income, water, cover, access, and huntability in a highly desirable Brown County location.
