About This Lot
80 Acres with Farm Income and Whitetail Hunting | Knox County, Illinois
Located just south of Maquon in Knox County, Illinois, this 80 acre tract offers a strong combination of dependable farm income, quality wildlife habitat, and exceptional hunting potential. With row crop acres, CRP, timber, creek frontage, and build site potential, this farm is well suited for buyers looking for both return and recreation.
The property includes approximately 50 acres in row crop production, 9.52 acres enrolled in CRP, and approximately $12,694 in annual income from cropland and CRP. Income details should be verified by the buyer, but this tract offers a level of return that is difficult to find on recreational farms of this size.
Flea Creek winds through the heart of the farm before joining nearby Littlers Creek, creating a natural travel corridor through the property. The creek, timber, native cover, and CRP fields work together to create strong habitat diversity for deer and other wildlife.
South of the creek, two secluded CRP fields sit tucked away from the road and surrounded by cover. These hidden areas offer excellent bedding habitat and future potential for food plots, tower blinds, or strategic stand locations.
