000 North Fawver Road, Ridott, IL 61067 - Stephenson County

Sought-after opportunity to buy a fantastic mixed-use farm in east-central Stephenson County. These 69 +/- acres are packed with a multitude of features to suit your buying needs, from fertile tillable acres to remarkable recreational opportunities, this is one you’ll want to check out!

Starting with the tillable acres. The 40 +/- tillable acres are made up primarily of Batavia silt loam and Dickinson sandy loam which produce a very respectable productivity index of 121.9. Currently, these acres are cash-rented to a local farmer on a year-to-year basis. Field access is provided in two different locations off of North Fawver Road and the fields themselves provide easy farmability, with straight rows, flat topography, and plenty of space to maneuver large equipment.

The remaining 30 +/- acres are a diverse mix of mature timber, open grass, and Pecatonica River frontage. This aspect provides great potential for someone looking to purchase a recreational property. The deer and turkey population in this area of Stephenson County is fantastic, and this farm shows it. Deer sign is abundant throughout the property, from beat-down trails, rubs, and bedding cover. The Pecatonica River borders the entire east side of the property, providing over mile of river frontage, which is a rarity. This provides even more recreational opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, as well as camping. In addition, there is a 1 +/- acre pond located in the center of the property, along with a natural slough on the north side of it. This area, coupled with the Pecatonica River frontage, would provide fantastic waterfowl opportunities in the fall!

Overall, this farm has a variety of features to appeal to your buying needs. Whether you’re looking for more tillable acres to add to your farming operation or for a diverse recreational property with income, this property would be a great fit.
