17549 E Webb Rd Mount Vernon, IL 62864

Located just 8 miles from Mount Vernon in Jefferson County, Illinois, this 64.33 acre property offers a rare combination of outstanding hunting, excellent fishing, quality improvements, and the privacy that recreational buyers are always searching for. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, hunting camp, or a place to enjoy with family year-round, this property is ready to use from day one. Positioned well off the road at the end of a long gravel driveway, the cabin sits in a private setting overlooking a 3.75 acre lake. The approximately 900-square-foot cabin provides a comfortable place to stay while enjoying everything the property has to offer. The lake is the centerpiece of the farm, offering excellent fishing with fish feeders already in place and producing impressive catfish that reflect years of proper management. An additional 0.25 acre pond provides another dependable water source for wildlife while adding even more diversity to the property. A well-maintained trail system extends throughout the farm, providing easy access by ATV, side-by-side, or truck to nearly every part of the property. Whether you're checking trail cameras, heading to a stand, maintaining food plots, or simply enjoying the property, the established trail system makes getting around easy. From a hunting standpoint, this farm has everything needed to consistently hold and attract wildlife. More than 20 acres have been allowed to naturally regenerate into a mix of native vegetation, young hardwood growth, brush, grasses, and broadleaf forbs. That early successional habitat provides outstanding bedding cover, browse, nesting habitat, and security cover for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. As these areas continue to mature, they will only become more valuable as wildlife habitat. If desired, portions could also be converted back into tillable acreage, giving a future owner additional flexibility without sacrificing the property's recreational appeal. The mature timber is equally impressive. A year-round creek winds through closed-canopy hardwoods dominated by mature white oaks, creating an excellent travel corridor for wildlife while adding to the property's natural character. Rolling ridges, changes in elevation, creek crossings, and numerous transition areas create natural funnels and stand locations that make this property hunt much larger than its actual acreage. The combination of quality timber, thick bedding cover, water, and diverse habitat creates the type of layout that consistently produces excellent deer and turkey hunting. Properties that combine this level of privacy, a quality cabin, a large private lake, established trail system, mature timber, and professionally developed wildlife habitat are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This is a true turnkey recreational property that offers immediate enjoyment with the habitat, improvements, and layout already in place for the next owner.
