Description
Located in southern Jo Daviess County, this exceptional property sits in a prime whitetail neighborhood—surrounded by large timber tracts, agricultural fields, state land, and the scenic Apple River. With direct access off Route 84, the property welcomes you with a solid rocked lane, leading to a convenient parking area—strategically placed to minimize disturbance to the land. As you move deeper into the property, multiple access routes guide you through its diverse terrain. The main lane winds through timber along the western edge, while another follows a scenic ridge along the eastern side. A beautiful mix of pine and hardwood timber provides natural bedding, cover, and privacy. To the south, the land opens up—offering incredible potential for development or enhancement. The centerpiece of this property is an 8.5-acre ag field, perfectly cradled between the timber and the river. This tillable ground presents an excellent opportunity—whether you continue a farm lease for income or transform it into a premier whitetail habitat. Strategic habitat design could divide this space into different quadrants, allowing for alternative access, enhanced screening, and diverse food sources. Wildlife movement is shaped by natural travel corridors along the Apple River, where deer stage in smaller food plots along the fringes before transitioning into larger feeding areas. With its gradual contour, this property is well-suited for general recreation, hunting, or even a future build site. Plus, there’s an opportunity to pair it with the adjacent 45 acres to the north, creating an even larger, more versatile tract. If you're looking for a diverse, high-potential piece of land in a sought-after area—this is one you don’t want to miss!
