700N Road, Lot #WP001, Eldred, IL 62027 - Greene County

Extremely rare opportunity to own a fantastic recreational property with excellent income. This property offers top-notch opportunities for deer and turkey hunters as well as small game enthusiasts. As you study the surrounding land uses, you quickly realize that this property is where the deer are calling home. The surrounding properties are majority timber and row crop properties. This parcel offers approximately 72.13+/- acres of grassland. These acres were the driving force behind the current owner buying this land. These acres provide year-round cover for deer, turkey, rabbits, and quail. The current owner has spent the last several years restoring the grassland acres. These acres were just reenrolled into a warm season grass Conservation Reserve Program planting. This 10-year program returns over $21,000/year until 2034. These acres have been recently planted to a mix of tall stem native grasses and forbes. This will be the ultimate fawning cover, escape cover, and rut habitat in the area. The tall grasses will also provide screening for access trails to the entire property. The rolling terrain provides some amazing views into the Macoupin Creek bottoms and gives some great southern exposure for bedding. There are two creeks, one on either end of this land, providing water access for the wildlife and excellent travel corridors for deer. There are approximately 30 acres of solid timber on the east side that provides some excellent easy to access hunting spots. But the real big buck areas are the fingers and clumps of mature timber spread throughout the CRP. These areas provide excellent cover and a visual edge over deer moving in and out of the grasslands. This farm is priced to provide over a 2.5% return, with the new owner enjoying all the hunting. If the hunting rights were to be leased, this farm could very possibly provide a 3% return, which is a rate very rarely reached on a recreational property.
