Located just east of Amboy in highly desirable Lee County, Illinois, this exceptional 239 acre mixed-use farm offers an outstanding combination of productive farmland, mature timber, water features, and exceptional recreational opportunities. With approximately 135 acres of productive row crop ground, this property provides built-in income while offering outstanding potential for hunting, recreation, habitat enhancement, and future investment. Conveniently positioned with quick access to Interstate 39 and Interstate 88, the property is easily accessible while maintaining the privacy and rural setting buyers seek. The farm is divided into several sections located along Inlet Road, creating multiple access points and allowing for flexible management of both agricultural and recreational activities. The northeastern portion of the farm includes approximately 20 acres of productive tillable ground that is complemented by timber and a creek corridor connecting to the remainder of the property. This natural travel corridor enhances wildlife movement throughout the farm while adding diversity to the landscape. The southern entrance serves as the primary access point and features an established trail system extending along the edge of the timber. This portion of the farm offers exceptional recreational potential, with large agricultural fields bordered by mature timber and numerous transition areas. Small openings throughout the timber present excellent opportunities for strategically placed food plots and elevated blind locations. Multiple established trails weave throughout the woods, providing convenient access while minimizing disturbance to wildlife. Several small ponds scattered throughout this section create valuable water sources that support local wildlife year-round. Continuing west, the large agricultural fields wrap around neighboring Leake Lake, which is not included with the property but contributes to the surrounding landscape and wildlife habitat. Early successional forest, creek corridors, and natural edge habitat connect this section with the northern portion of the farm, creating excellent cover and travel routes for deer and turkey. As the farm transitions westward, large tillable fields give way to smaller agricultural pockets surrounded by timber and native habitat, offering additional opportunities for habitat improvements and recreational management. The western side of the property features approximately 25 acres of mature hardwood timber accessed by an established trail system. Beyond the hardwoods lies a secluded 8 acre agricultural field tucked within the timber, creating an ideal destination food source and an attractive location for hunting or additional habitat improvements. Surrounded by agricultural production, timber, ponds, creeks, and nearby lakes, this portion of the property supports a healthy population of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and other native wildlife. Whether your goal is generating annual farm income, developing an exceptional hunting property, or owning a diverse investment tract with multiple land use opportunities, this farm offers an impressive balance of productive agriculture and recreational value. The diversity of habitat, water sources, timber, and tillable acreage creates an appealing landscape for both wildlife and landowners alike. In addition to its agricultural and recreational appeal, this area of Lee County attracts seasonal visitors traveling to nearby parks and outdoor recreation destinations. Continued growth in outdoor recreation throughout the region may also present future development or investment opportunities, subject to applicable zoning and local regulations. Properties offering this combination of productive tillable acreage, mature timber, established trails, water features, and excellent accessibility are increasingly difficult to find.
