Description
Nestled just north of Marengo, this secluded property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. With quick access to I-90, US-20, and Route 176, you're just a short drive from the heart of Chicago and its suburbs, yet once you arrive, it feels like a world away. As you drive along the private easement, the hustle and bustle of city life fades away, and the serenity of nature takes over. A dedicated parking area in the northeast corner provides ample space for vehicles, while a charming footbridge crosses a branch of the Kishwaukee River, leading you into the heart of the property. Crossing over the bridge, you're greeted by the northern section of the farm, which has been meticulously managed for upland bird habitat. With 15 acres of native grasses in a checkered pattern, this land offers an ideal sanctuary for upland game. Mowed trails between patches of prairie grass make navigating the terrain easy so that you can enjoy the beauty and bounty of the land without disruption. As you move west towards the main branch of the Kishwaukee River, you'll find fallow fields that offer potential for expansion or can be utilized to enhance deer habitat, which naturally flows from the surrounding timber. The deer seem to follow the river from neighboring timber ground and travel through the heart of the property and into the western timber, acting as a sanctuary. The open ground holds a ton of potential to put in food plots along the travel corridor. The property is blessed with abundant water features as the Kishwaukee River winds its way through the land, enhancing the natural beauty and providing critical resources for wildlife. The surrounding timber adds to the property's allure, creating a perfect blend of open space and wooded seclusion. Bordered by agricultural fields and lush timberlands, the property is part of a larger wildlife-rich ecosystem with hundreds of acres of deer and turkey habitat from the McHenry County Conservation District just beyond its borders. Whether you're an avid hunter, wildlife enthusiast, or simply seeking a private retreat, this property offers everything you need. With its unparalleled privacy, rich habitat, and easy access to urban amenities, this is an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of nature that has been carefully cultivated for wildlife and recreation. A rare find that combines the best of both worlds—close to the city but far from the crowds.
