This farm is a time capsule! The land is pristine and most of it does not look like it has been touched in generations. Strong deer and turkey sign! The western half is loaded with mature walnut, oak, cherry and other marketable hardwoods. Seller reports that no logging has been done to their knowledge in a considerable time. The topography consists of rolling hills on the east and west sides, with a meandering, rock-bottom creek flowing more or less down the middle. There are not currently any interior roads, but by cutting timber, these could be created, where you please, to maximize access for land management and hunting. It’s essentially a blank slate, or perhaps a very beautiful canvas. The south end of the farm just touches Copperas Creek, which is a great wildlife corridor. In the southeast corner of the farm lies one of the best natural saddle pinch points I’ve ever seen. Three separate tillable fields run into this farm, totaling ~10.5 FSA tillable acres, which could be rented to neighboring farmers, used for food plotting, or perhaps eventually enrolled in CRP. This farm is located 3.25 miles southwest of Illinois City, IL or about 25 miles west of downtown Quad Cities.

The natural beauty of Mercer County is on full display in this piece of ground. Rolling hills of native grasses are casually split down the middle by a slow, meandering creek, dotted with trees and the occasional beaver pond which are very attractive to wood ducks. Trophy whitetails use this creek and adjacent cover as a natural corridor that connects CRP farms and timber all the way from the Edwards River to Camp Creek. The biggest typical whitetail I’ve ever seen on a trail camera came from an adjacent property on this creek, which I sold a couple years ago. The patch of hardwoods that overlooks the creek is a favorite roosting spot for a large flock of resident turkeys. This farm also boasts +/-96 acres of newly re-enrolled CRP which produces over $20K per year in income, and holds many wild pheasants and quail. The scenic views, good construction sites, pond building sites, and black top road frontage will make you think about where to build your future home! Mercer County School District. Located 3 miles north of Aledo, IL and 1 mile west of the Mercer County Airport.

Enjoy bowhunting the legendary trophy whitetails of Mercer County, in your own timber. This land is predominantly timber, with mature trees, as well as areas of thick brush and great deer cover. Affordably sized tracts like this don’t come along very often in Pope Creek’s watershed. A small part of this property is a separate lot on the east side of 16th street, immediately across from the rest of the farm. This would make a great place to put a cabin or make an improved camping site, just off the blacktop road, and be separated from the property, where your stands are located. Enjoy year-round recreation with great fishing and fun on the Mississippi River, just 1 mile away. Great waterfowl hunting in the area, also. For the mushroom hunters, this property has produced an abundance of morels in the past. This is a great opportunity to secure your own piece of timbered land in a big buck county, with amenities nearby, at a very affordable price point.
