About This Lot

200 Acres | Brown County, Illinois | Elite Hunting Farm with Build Site & Proven Big Buck History
This 200 acre property in Brown County, Illinois, just outside of Mt. Sterling, is a premier hunting farm designed for serious whitetail enthusiasts. With a strong focus on habitat development, this tract offers exceptional opportunities for hunting, recreation, and a future rural home or cabin site.

Approximately 23 acres are dedicated to food plots, with the remainder consisting of mature timber and rolling ridges. The property has undergone extensive improvements, including newly established switchgrass, clover, and areas prepared for corn and beans. Numerous strategically placed food plots and custom water holes create ideal conditions for attracting and holding deer, especially during the rut.

The timber has been selectively harvested to enhance bedding cover, particularly on south-facing slopes, while prescribed burns have stimulated fresh undergrowth and browse. A scenic creek runs through the center of the property, complemented by multiple ponds, providing reliable water sources for wildlife year-round.

Access throughout the farm is exceptional, with a well-maintained internal road system allowing quiet and easy travel. The property is accessed via a dead-end road and includes a prepared build site with electric and water already in place, making it ready for a cabin or home. With proven big buck genetics, strong neighboring management, and a 185-inch buck harvested in 2025, this is a turnkey hunting property ready to enjoy.
