Whitetail & Turkey Hunting and Income-Producing Land - Marion County, Illinois
This 130±-acre recreational tract nestled in the hills of Marion County consists of two adjoining parcels totaling 88 acres and 42 acres. The property has a long record of producing mature whitetail deer and supporting strong turkey populations due to its varied habitat and functional layout.
The terrain includes gently rolling topography, a well-maintained internal trail system, and a mix of mast-producing hardwoods and softwoods that support year-round wildlife use. Wildlife water sources include a tributary of the Kaskaskia River and a strategically placed 0.8-acre pond equipped with an Agri-drain flood-control system.
The land is secluded yet accessible at the intersection of two main roads, with power and water available. A 63' × 36' (2,268 sq. ft.) pole building constructed in 2007 serves as an equipment hub or basecamp, featuring 20' ceilings, concrete floors, electric service, and an electric hoist for game processing. It's ready to support hunting operations, toy storage, or future build-out possibilities. Three deer blinds will also convey, allowing a new owner to step in and start hunting immediately.
In addition to its recreational and investment value, the property generates over $10,000 annually through existing conservation and access programs. These include 53.2 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) through 2026 and 130 acres enrolled in the Illinois Recreational Access Program (IRAP) through 2029, an Illinois Department of Natural Resources program that provides temporary public access for youth deer and turkey hunting.
