Flat Rock 501
Description
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.
