Description
This Island located on the Rock River between Hillsdale and Erie has endless potential for a future buyer. Historically farmed the land then transitioned into CRP which has since expired offering a blank slate. Accessible via Jersey Road, the property features owned road frontage on the northern side of the river. Enjoy the convenience of a recently rocked shoreline and a dedicated parking area. A barge is available to be put back into operation allowing transport of equipment across the narrow channel, providing a rare opportunity to develop the island.
On the northern side of the island, you’ll find 10 acres of open ground. This area transitions into a mix of willows, which could be cleared to expand tillable land, previously part of the CRP. As you move south, you’ll discover 16 acres of open ground, perfect for a variety of uses. The remaining acreage features a mix of timber, adding to the property’s natural charm. There are several possibilities – from a hunting perspective you could establish food plots and recreational areas for deer and waterfowl. Previously, three shallow ponds were dug out on the property’s interior. These could be cleared and reestablished. This would also make an ideal retreat and a place to enjoy the river or a perfect spot for a potential river cabin. With gradual shorelines, you have the flexibility to make your vision a reality.
Conveniently located just 10 miles east of the Mississippi River, 30 miles from the Quad Cities, and 155 miles from Chicago, this property offers both seclusion and accessibility. With its blend of open land, timber, and potential for development, this Rock River island is a rare find. Don’t miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind property.
