Flat Rock 501

Flat Rock 501 - 500± Acres | Crawford County, Illinois

Flat Rock 501 is a premier 500± acre income-producing and recreational farm located in Crawford County along the Wabash River. This property offers a strong blend of consistent income, mature timber, and exceptional whitetail habitat in a highly sought-after area.

The farm includes 129.14 acres of productive tillable ground, multiple CRP contracts, and 227.39 acres of mature timber that has not been harvested in over 25 years-creating both immediate return and long-term upside. The diverse layout of timber, CRP, and agriculture provides ideal conditions for wildlife, making this a proven hunting property in a region known for producing quality whitetails.

• CRP Income: $26,778.92 annually
• Tillable Income: $19,371 annually
• Water Well Lease: $5,000 annually

Total Annual Income: $51,149.92

Investment Opportunity

Flat Rock 501 offers a rare combination of immediate income, long-term appreciation, and recreational value-making it a well-balanced investment-grade property.

• List Price: $2,650,000 ($5,300 per acre)
• Annual Income: $51,149.92 ( almost equal to $102 per acre)

10-Year Investment Outlook

• Projected 10-Year Income: $296,385.94
• Adjusted Cost Basis After 10 Years: $2,353,614

True Cost Per Acre After 10 Years: ~$4,700 per acre

Why This Investment Stands Out

• Immediate, diversified income from CRP, tillable rent, and lease revenue
• Strong income floor even after current CRP contracts expire
• Nearly $300,000 in projected income over 10 years
• Proven appreciation potential in the Wabash River corridor
• High-quality recreational value with premier whitetail habitat

Additional Upside Potential

• Timber harvest opportunity from mature stands (not currently factored)
• Potential for increased cash rent over time
• Hunting lease or outfitter income
• Potential CRP re-enrollment or transition into WRP/WRE programs, adding future income and conservation value

Wildlife & Area

Located in Crawford County, this area consistently produces strong deer numbers year after year:

• Annual harvest averages: 1,900-2,000 deer
• Peak years exceeding 2,500 deer
• The Wabash River corridor is well known for its trophy whitetail potential

The combination of river frontage, timber, and managed habitat creates a natural funnel for wildlife and outstanding hunting opportunities.
