Recreational Land for Lease in Sidell, Illinois

125-Acre Hunting Lease | Vermilion County, Illinois

Available Immediately on a 1-Year Lease

Lease Price: $6,875

Located just 3 miles south of Indianola along the Edgar County line in East Central Illinois, this 125-acre hunting property offers an excellent combination of mature timber, thick cover, CRP grass, and productive agricultural ground. With strong deer and turkey populations, outstanding terrain features, and a variety of habitat types, this property is well suited for hunters looking for a versatile hunting opportunity. The property has not been hunted for the past two seasons, offering a fresh opportunity to explore its potential.

The property features a year-round creek, mature white oak trees, thick bedding cover, and a generous CRP tall-grass buffer separating the agricultural fields from the woods. An additional 9-acre CRP field provides even more cover and potential bedding habitat. The farmer plans to leave several rows of corn along the edge of the woods, while recent wind damage in the standing corn is likely to leave additional waste grain in the field, providing another potential food source for wildlife during the hunting season.

Hunters will appreciate the excellent layout and numerous natural features that create opportunities for strategic stand placement. Tight ditch top funnels, creek crossings, and varied terrain offer several potential travel corridors and hunting locations. Fresh deer sign is already evident throughout the property, including rub lines and early-season scrapes.

Access is another major advantage, with a drivable grass lane running around the field edge, making it convenient to reach different portions of the property. The lease includes immediate access upon signing and runs through the end of the 2027 spring turkey season.
