This beautiful Illinois river bluff property is in Schuyler county about 1 mile west of Browning Illinois.
This working farm is 115+- acres and consist of Approximately 35 acres of row crop and makes farm income but it is strictly managed for big Illinois bucks and spring turkey hunting. $175 per acre cash rent to grow food for your deer isnt too bad! 35 acres are tillable according to FSA
Besides the row crop, the remainder of the land is in good mature hunting timber (Walnut, white oak, red oak, maple, cottonwood) with "salad bar type" food plots in the back of the bean fields and kill plots halfway between the creek bottom on the back of the property and the corn fields. There is a deeded north easement access for coming in from that direction, and there are ATV sized trails cut through the timber for slip in access to your timber stands. the property is designed and laid out for comfort and ease of hunting and getting around. A newly purchased enclosed shooting tower will stay with the land as well as several other stands and blinds.
One of the pictures is on this farm and its one of the highest points in Schuyler county and its looking over the Illinois river. And there is a small shed/cabin on that point that stays with the land.
This beautiful piece of property is very versatile the land and lodge could be turned into a Winery, or it could be turned into a horse or cattle ranch with the crop fields turned into pastures.
The lodge is one of a kind, it is a true hunting lodge with tons of get together room and lots of storage for your hunting equipment. The lodge is 5 bedroom, 3 bath and a couple other rooms that could be used as bedrooms. There is a huge game room with a wood burning stove in it. There is an open kitchen-eating area-den that can handle a lot of people and even your wife would be proud of. All the appliances are stainless and all are included in the sale, including the washer and dryer. There is a non scent room off the game room. The shed is large enough for tractors, trucks, implements and side by sides.
The heating and cooling system is Geothermal and is very efficient.
The floors are radiant floor under the tile floors, which is amazing and can nearly heat the lodge by itself.
There are so many extras with this lodge, you have to see for yourself. A large scent room, storage areas, get together areas, separate tv area, built in tractor, implement shed.
Driveway recently re-rocked, maple trees planted for privacy, new grass planted and a new AC and compressor.
You are also just minutes from a public boat launch and lots of public hunting in the river.
