63± acres of diverse hunting and recreational land located on the north edge of Lawrenceville in Lawrence County, Illinois. This unique property offers a rare combination of habitat, seclusion, and surrounding land management that allows it to hunt much bigger than its acreage suggests.
Access is via a dead-end road leading to a private gate, followed by an easement into the property-providing excellent privacy and minimal disturbance, ideal for a secluded hunting setup.
This tract supports a wide variety of wildlife including whitetail deer, turkey, ducks, geese, and small game. Multiple bucks were observed while walking the property, along with tom turkeys, hens, and active waterfowl, demonstrating strong and consistent wildlife activity.
The surrounding area is a major advantage, with neighboring properties managed for trophy whitetail. Additionally, approximately 40 acres to the northeast is city-owned with no hunting pressure, creating a natural sanctuary that helps hold and grow mature deer in the area.
The property's layout and natural features create excellent wildlife movement and hunting opportunities. A ditch/slough with water along the western neighboring property helps funnel deer and turkey directly through this tract. To the north, a tree line and levee provide both screening and structure, along with north- and south-facing slopes that offer ideal bedding areas depending on wind and weather conditions.
Habitat diversity is a key strength, featuring thick bedding cover, open mature timber, and natural terrain variation including 4-6 foot levees and humps associated with past waterfowl use. Crop fields border the property on three sides, supplying a strong external food source.
An existing gas/power right-of-way offers an excellent location for establishing a food plot, further enhancing the property's ability to attract and hold wildlife.
Conveniently located just off IL Route 1 and Route 50, this property offers a rare balance of accessibility and seclusion-making it an ideal choice for a dedicated hunting tract or weekend recreational retreat.
