TBD Oakton & Messmer Rd Savanna, IL 61074

Just in time for hunting season! From hardwood ridgetops to low lying creek bottom, this 65.69 +/- acre property has everything a serious hunter could ask for. Located just north of Savanna, this property offers excellent access with nearly 1/2 mile of road frontage off Messmer Road to the north and about 1/3 mile of road frontage from the West off of Oakton Road. Coming off Oakton Road, the west half of the property will welcome you with a nearly 10 acre field currently in a native prairie planting with game trails zig-zagging throughout. 1 acre of the native stand is enrolled in CRP earning $409 per year, which nearly offsets the entire property tax bill. The remaining acreage of the open prairie could be used for food plots, tree plantings, or could be a building spot as power is available at the road. Falling off the prairie you'll get into some gnarly creek bottom ground with thick bedding cover and several opportunities for strategic pinch points along the 3,400 ft of Camp Creek frontage that meanders through the property. Access from Messmer Road will take you into the east side of the property which is highlighted by a very defined hardwood ridgetop extending into the property, perfect for catching those cruising bucks in the rut. A trail takes you all the way to the top of the ridge where a neat surprise awaits in the woods- two old hunting cabins including one that is a tree house and is actually built right around a beautiful big Oak tree. Food plots used to be planted along the long, narrow ridge top and as well as right at the bottom of the ridge. A potential immediate return on investment could be possible as a 2021 forestry report estimated in excess of $50,000 worth of standing timber value (report available on request). This property is located in the heart of some heavily managed and high quality hunting properties, meaning you just might never know what might walk by while you are sitting in a tree stand. Additional adjoining acreage is currently listed and available as well. If you are a serious hunter, act fast and you can still secure this high quality property just in time for the 2022-23 deer season!
