80.5 Acres in Jerseyville, IL - $281,750

This is one of those properties that looks good from start to finish. The first half of the property is a mix of hayfield and white oak timber. A small pond is hidden in the timber and with some work could be a great fishing hole. Currently, it is working as a wildlife magnet providing water throughout the year. Multiple springs are producing open water even during the coldest parts of the winter. The ridgetops run north and south with a big valley through the middle. This produces great topography and many south-facing hillsides which are littered with deer beds and turkey sign. The timber is well stocked with many mature white oaks. The back half of this property is a completely different habitat. Once over the bluff, Piasa Creek separates the property. This creek can be crossed by UTV or on foot during times of low water. This provides a unique hunting opportunity for those with the dedication to seek it out. Approximately 7 acres of row crop acres have been seeded to native grasses in the creek bottom. This area is well established and was standing 7 plus feet tall with 10 inches of snow on the ground. Habitat such as this is invaluable to all wildlife species and makes great fawning habitat for deer and nesting locations for turkey. This property is close to the road, yet capable of giving a remote feeling for someone wanting to build a home or cabin. Call today, this one will not last long.
