LandGuys is proud to present this 149-acre recreational farm for sale in Schuyler County. In the Crane Creek Levee District, just north of where the La Moine River meets the Illinois River, sits this very unique piece of hunting land. It is positioned perfectly between large agricultural fields and 1624 acres of state land in which hunting is prohibited. Secondary to lack of hunting in the area and close proximity to a refuge, this farm is sure to have a great age class of whitetails, but not only is this property home to a thriving deer herd; it also boasts tremendous turkey and waterfowl hunting as well as fishing opportunities. If you’re looking for a top-notch hunting farm, call us today to schedule your showing!
This is a great opportunity to purchase a very secluded property located at the end of a dead-end road. This property is located between Mt. Sterling and Rushville, just north of Ripley on the Schuyler County side of the Lamoine River. The property is a few hundred feet off the Lamoine River and offers thick bedding cover, mature hardwood timber ridges, food plots, and a tremendous amount of connecting habitat in all directions. Pat Lane goes along a portion of the southwest section of the property, and a gated access road allows access along the southeastern corridor. The property lays out as a giant bowl with the central part of the property being a giant bedding area. This bowl is surrounded by mature timber ridges to the east and southwest, while the northwest sector feeds out into the Lamoine River Bottom. An internal trail network goes around the bedding area along with several cross paths/shooting lanes going through the bedding thicket. This area of the farm is a unique section that is a major bedding area that deer filter into from the river bottom and the adjoining crop field to the north, making this a great area to focus your hunting in the morning. There are also several food plot areas on the northeastern part of the bedding area. In addition to this bottom plot, there is a boomerang-shaped food plot on top of the east ridge that overlooks the bottom. Overall, this is a great hunting property in an area known for quality whitetails that has a lot of diversity.
