160 +- acres with unlimited potential to be one of the top waterfowl spots on the Ohio River. Nearly one mile of this farm borders the Ohio River and adjoins a Water Refuge making it a waterfowl hunters dream. There are 33 acres of flat fields along the refuge that could be develped into waterfowl food plots that you can flood

to the depth you prefer. Additionally, this acreage consists of 80 acres of hardwood forest with Red and White Oaks, etc., rolling hills, and deep beautiful rock branches. Along the Ohio River frontage is almost a mile of flat, highly productive crop ground. In addition, on the west side of the farm, there are two fields totaling about 11 acres with about 5 acres of planted and managed food plots. The fields along the Ohio River and Refuge could be planted and flooded in addition to building levees, planting food plots and strategically placing pits and blinds. Above the flat river bottom fields that adjoin the river, there is a hillside above flood plain ready for your dream home or lodge location with unblocked views of the Ohio River. This site offers breathtaking views of the Ohio River and surrounding forest. From your living room or porch, a spectacular sunrise over the river can be enjoyed while ducks and geese fly overhead. In addition to waterfowl hunting, fishing opportunities are endless. Crappie, large mouth bass, and bluegill are steps away from the home site in your own pond. The Ohio River also offers unlimited fishing opportunities. With some work, a private boat ramp can be built off a creek bank to the river. In addition to waterfowl hunting and fishing, this farm offers some of the best Whitetail deer hunting Illinois has to offer. Giant Whitetails live on and around this farm with the lush food plots pulling them deep into the farm.

There is an old barn with hand hewn beams that has been beautifully renovated and can be used as a venue for weddings or large gatherings. There is also a large open deck between the barn and old home with enough room to hold 20 or more people or to be used as a stage for a band or wedding, etc. This open deck could also hold a large hot tub with views of the Ohio river backdrop. Additionally, there is an older horse stable barn to house your own horses.

This is a unique farm with water frontage, income-producing potential, wildlife and beautiful views that does not come available very often. It is a breathtaking, picturesque property and one worthy of a magazine cover. Give us a call if interested in taking a look.
