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 over 1 mile 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 reenrollment 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 turkey are already leaving the timber along the lake and traveling through the CRP acres to get to food. There are approximately 12 acres of existing pasture on the east side of this parcel. This area would make a great pond location and is ready to be changed from pasture to food plots. The seller will be offering an easement through his adjoining land to allow for access. Call today for a tour of this unique income producing property.
