Land for Sale in Sherrard, Illinois
2946 147th Ave, Sherrard, IL 61281
This 41.4-acre Mercer County property is a very solid "starter farm" with plenty of potential to be developed into much more! Rolling hardwood timber stretches across the landscape, with a creek winding diagonally through the property and drawing in wildlife year-round. A trail system is already in place, making it easy to access your hunting stands quietly-or to enjoy an afternoon of ATV riding through the woods. Near the gated entrance on the southeast corner, a solid pole barn with partial concrete floor and electricity offers immediate utility. It's well suited for storage, or a weekend cabin build-out. The timber mix features a few mature white oaks alongside younger hardwoods such as black walnut, cherry, hickory, and a variety of oak species-setting up a great long-term timber investment while offering excellent habitat for whitetails and turkeys. This property is surrounded by expansive wooded tracts in a great area for big whitetails. Located 2.5 miles southwest of Sherrard, and within the Sherrard School District, just 25 minutes south of Moline, IL on a hard road. Whether you're looking for a private hunting retreat, a future build site in the country, or a place to enjoy quiet weekends outdoors, this farm checks all the right boxes.
