14254 Hays, Girard, IL 62640 - Macoupin County

This property sits in one of those spots that offers something special. Bordering Otter Lake, this land has nearly 1.5 miles of its border that allows no hunting. It's not every day you find land that borders a wildlife preserve. Otter Lake also offers camping, fishing, and waterfowl hunting to provide even more recreational activities. Approximately 50 acres of this land is currently enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program until 2025. This is paying approximately $11,000/year. The CRP acres would currently be available for enrollment, or the land could be transitioned to row crops, tree plantings, bedding habitat or anything else the new owner desired. Having a blank slate in this location is a rare opportunity. The timbered part of the property is made up mostly of hardwood fingers, allowing for endless field edge and timbered hunting locations. The adjoining land is mostly row crop so the deer and turkeys are already leaving the timber along the lake and traveling through the CRP acres to get to food. There are approximately 30 acres of existing pasture that are still being utilized in livestock production. These acres could be transitioned to hunting land, kept as pasture or be utilized as some excellent homesite locations. Rural water and electric are available along Killam Rd. Don't miss this rare opportunity to build your dream home on your dream property. Call today for a private tour!
