This property checks a lot of boxes people look for when it comes to hunting properties. Location, food, water, and cover are of utmost importance when trying to grow and hunt mature whitetails and this property has all of it. Location is the first thing to start with and this property is located in an area of Jo Daviess County that’s well known for producing big bucks year in and year out with many like-minded neighbors. The property has several thick bedding areas for cover and there’s no shortage of water with a year-round stream running through the property as well as a strategically placed water hole that would make for a great spot for early season and rut hunting. The topography within the property is comprised of gently rolling hills from east to west and hardwood timber is present throughout the majority of the timbered acres, with white oaks being most prevalent. Of the 80 +/- total acres, approximately 70 acres are timbered with the remaining 10 acres being tillable. The tillable acreage would make great locations for future food plots to design how you like, or the current owner has offered to lease the acreage back which would provide income to the future owner.

One of the most attractive spots on the property is a one acre established food plot located in the far southeast corner of the property. This spot is sure to provide tons of daylight activity as it’s tucked into the property with thick timber bordering all sides of the plot. A well-defined ridge is located just south of this spot which will aid in producing natural movement right through the plot. A 6x6’ Redneck blind is already in place overlooking the plot and ready to be hunted out of.

Other uses of the property outside hunting could include camping and ATV riding. Several areas would be fantastic locations to setup a campsite and the mix of topography and the established trail system would be perfect for ATV riding. The property also has the potential to be built on with the appropriate approvals and has several areas that have the potential for a pond to be created as well.

It should be noted the property is being split off a larger parcel. Additional acreage is potentially available. Access will be provided off Steele Road on the northwest corner of the property via a deeded easement. Property lines in aerial maps and photos are approximate. Exact property lines will be determined by a survey prior to closing.
