91 Acres Turn-Key Duck Hunting & WRP Wetland Property | Greene County, Illinois
This 91 acre duck hunting land for sale in Greene County, Illinois is located along the Illinois River Flyway near Carrollton and is fully developed for serious waterfowl hunting. Designed as a managed wetland and moist-soil impoundment, this property offers consistent duck and goose hunting with controlled water management and proven late-season capability.

The farm is enrolled in a lifetime Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) easement and was developed under NRCS guidelines. Approximately 40 acres are dedicated to managed waterfowl habitat, including moist-soil units and established food plots. A high-capacity irrigation well with 6" discharge and 900 feet of underground pipe allows controlled flooding and the ability to maintain open water even during freezing temperatures - a major advantage during late-season hunts.

This is a true turn-key setup. A 5-man Bradley pit blind is positioned for prevailing winds, and a portable blind on skids includes dog boxes and a kitchen area for multi-hunter comfort. Beyond waterfowl, 31 acres of producing oak flats provide acorns for deer, while 20 acres of warm-season grasses create bedding cover and upland bird habitat, making this a balanced, year-round wildlife property.

Five acres on the south side sit outside of the WRP easement and offer potential for a future cabin site. A mobile home provides overnight lodging with a cistern water system in place. Access is dependable via a half-mile gravel driveway built on fabric, ensuring reliable entry even in wet conditions.
