Description

 

A Premier 500± Acre Trophy Hunting & Income-Producing Property on the Spoon River

 This is the one you’ve been waiting for. A rare combination of big-buck habitat, river access, turnkey lodging, and exceptional income potential—all on a massive, meticulously managed block of land. To truly appreciate the scope of this property, call Legacy Land Company listing agent Cabot Benton for a full walk-through.

 402.256 Acres of Prime CREP Timber & Habitat

The heart of this farm is its spectacular timbered CREP ground, loaded with oak, maple, sycamore, cottonwood, cedar, and diverse hardwoods and softwoods. The layout is built for holding and growing mature whitetails:

 

  • Multiple established food plots—clover/chicory, alfalfa, corn/beans—with room to expand
  • Internal creeks feeding into the Spoon River, providing abundant year-round water
  • Expansive blocks of thick timber filled with rubs and bedding cover
  • Brushy, grassy river-bottom staging areas that funnel deer into nearby ag fields
  • Excellent road and trail system—drive throughout the property in a truck or slip in quietly by ATV or e-bike
  • Long-term habitat management with a proven history of producing great bucks

 Bonus: Deeded Hunting Rights on Adjacent 98± Tillable Acres

 A 98±-acre tillable field on the south side is farmed by a neighboring landowner with easement access—but hunting rights are deeded to this property forever, giving you effective control of over 500 huntable acres. Most of the trail-cam photos are from this year, and the quality speaks for itself.

 

For full details on the habitat design and management plan, call Cabot Benton with Legacy Land Company.
