Land for Sale in New Boston, Illinois
621 65th Ave, New Boston, IL 61272
Located just 1.5 miles east of New Boston along the western banks of the Edwards River, this 108.8+/- acre property offers an outstanding opportunity to own a hunting and recreational farm in one of western Illinois' premier trophy whitetail regions. The farm features a diverse mix of mature river-bottom timber, younger hardwood plantings from an expired CRP contract, native grasses, and established food plots that create exceptional habitat and natural travel corridors for deer and turkey. Pheasants, quail, waterfowl, and bald eagles are also commonly seen throughout the property. Approximately 7-8 established food plot locations and several natural openings help hold wildlife year-round, while the Edwards River corridor is well known for producing trophy-class whitetails. A well-maintained trail system with more than 3 miles of interior and perimeter access makes navigating the farm easy for hunting, ATV riding, hiking, and habitat management. 7 box blinds will remain with the property, providing a turnkey hunting setup ready for immediate use. Additional improvements include two 20-foot shipping containers with a trussed roof system between them, offering secure covered storage for equipment, ATVs, and hunting gear. A 2.75+/- acre wetland area with existing dikes and an included water control structure provides excellent potential for a managed waterfowl marsh. Beyond hunting, the Edwards River and nearby Mississippi River offer fishing, kayaking, boating, other recreation.
