About This Lot

Located in Jefferson County, Illinois, just 4 miles from Mount Vernon, this 35.9 acre property offers an outstanding combination of recreational opportunities, build potential, hunting habitat, and convenience. With utilities already onsite, a camper included, and an excellent mix of tillable ground and mature timber, this property is well suited for someone looking for a weekend getaway, hunting property, or future homesite. The property features approximately 15 acres of tillable ground that can provide additional income potential while also complementing the overall layout of the farm. The open acreage creates excellent diversity across the property and adds to the recreational appeal. A beautiful half-acre pond is positioned within the property and adds both scenic value and additional outdoor enjoyment. Whether relaxing by the water, fishing, or simply enjoying the setting, the pond creates another major highlight of the tract. The remaining acreage consists of stunning mature timber featuring closed canopy hardwoods with excellent white oaks and walnut trees throughout. The timber gives the property a secluded feel while also creating outstanding wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities. The natural layout of the property creates excellent travel corridors and pinch points, offering strong potential for consistent deer movement throughout the farm. One of the major advantages of this property is the existing infrastructure already in place. A camper is included with the property, creating an immediate place to stay and enjoy the land. Water, septic, and electric are all already onsite, making this property truly ready to use from day one. Whether you choose to continue using the camper, build a hunting cabin, or construct a future home, the groundwork has already been completed. The property also benefits from road frontage along a dead-end road, helping minimize traffic and creating a much quieter and more private setting. This low-traffic access adds to the overall peaceful atmosphere and makes the property feel even more secluded despite being only minutes from Mount Vernon. The combination of mature timber, tillable acreage, pond, hunting opportunities, utilities, and existing setup makes this property highly versatile. It can serve as a hunting property, family getaway, future homesite, or recreational retreat all in one manageable tract. Properties this close to Mount Vernon that offer this level of diversity, privacy, and ready-to-use improvements are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This 35.9 acre Jefferson County property offers a rare opportunity to own a well-rounded recreational tract with immediate usability and long-term potential.
