N 1300th St, Lot #WP001, Martinsville, IL 62442 - Clark County

This property is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. There is gated access off N 1300th St at two different locations. It also has a third access point, south of the two gates, that runs along the neighboring property and gives you access to the southwest corner. As you make your way onto the property and down the rock lane, you will meander to the back, where you will find a secluded shed. You will notice a couple of great building locations on the south side of the lane. These locations are close to the road and would give you access to needed utilities. Once you go down to the bottom, you cannot help but notice the property's breathtaking view. There is a large open bottom that currently looks like a CRP planting but is just left fallow for nesting and bedding habitat. The owners currently plant a couple of small plots in this bottom area. It is not enrolled in government programs, so the plots can be expanded if desired. Making your way up to the shed, you will find a small clover planting that typically has deer and turkeys browsing in it. The pole barn is an older building that is still in good shape. The entire floor is concrete and offers a small concrete pad off the south side, the perfect place to enjoy a cold drink around a fire with a view of the bottoms. If you have horses, there is a small corral next to the shed where they can be kept after a long day of riding. There is no shortage of nicely groomed trails that meander all over this property. Only the significant trails have been marked on the map, but there are over five miles total. Just north of the shed is a small pond tucked inside the woods just off the edge of the food plot. This pond does hold water year-round, and with a little work, it could be made a little deeper and larger. At the farm's north end of the property is a well-thought-out food plot with a shooting house off the edge of it. The owners left a handful of small trees in and around the plot for a strategic rub and scrape locations. Most of the property is rolling with several large oaks and other hardwoods. There are thick pockets of areas that provide excellent cover. Some of these areas even have small cedar trees and provide good thermal cover. The area south of the shed and the valley that runs southeast consists of smaller trees, including willow thickets and marshy areas. You can hear numerous deer chasing and fighting in this thick cover during the rut. The current owners have set up and used this property to entertain family and friends. They have taken several deer off the property, and memories have been made of kids taking their first deer or turkey. They have also put countless hours on ATVs, side by side, running around on the trails and making new ones. This is an excellent property. Whether you are looking for a place to build, hunt, or combine them all, this one will check all the boxes.
