Not only did I see fanned toms on the way in, but enjoyed the sounds of bobwhites and rooster ringnecks while walking this 57± acre tract in Shelby County that offers a location serious whitetail hunters look for when chasing mature Illinois bucks. The property is heavy on existing bedding cover and sets up well for future habitat improvements like food plots, fruit trees, and additional woody browse. Along the west boundary, Beck's Creek provides both a natural travel corridor for wildlife and a great spot to take the family fishing. There are also a couple sloughs on this property that are a perfect attraction for waterfowl.
45 acres of the land is currently enrolled in a CREP easement that expires 09/30/26, but the property is recently approved for the SAFE (State Acres For Wildlife Enhancement) program starting right after CREP expires. This property (per contract) will generate $9,299 annually from 10/01/26 to 09/30/2041. If you do the math, you'll see what an incredible opportunity this really is!
Whether you're looking to build a top-end hunting property, improve habitat, or simply own a versatile piece of recreational ground, this tract offers a solid foundation with room to grow.
