Property Description

91± Acres Turn-Key Duck Hunting & WRP Wetland Property | Greene County, Illinois

This 91± acre duck hunting land for sale in Greene County, Illinois is located along the Illinois River Flyway near Carrollton and is fully developed for serious waterfowl hunting. Designed as a managed wetland and moist-soil impoundment, this property offers consistent duck and goose hunting with controlled water management and proven late-season capability.

The farm is enrolled in a lifetime Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) easement and was developed under NRCS guidelines. Approximately 40 acres are dedicated to managed waterfowl habitat, including moist-soil units and established food plots. A high-capacity irrigation well with 6" discharge and 900 feet of underground pipe allows controlled flooding and the ability to maintain open water even during freezing temperatures - a major advantage during late-season hunts.

This is a true turn-key setup. A 5-man Bradley pit blind is positioned for prevailing winds, and a portable blind on skids includes dog boxes and a kitchen area for multi-hunter comfort. Beyond waterfowl, 31 acres of producing oak flats provide acorns for deer, while 20 acres of warm-season grasses create bedding cover and upland bird habitat, making this a balanced, year-round wildlife property.

Five acres on the south side sit outside of the WRP easement and offer potential for a future cabin site. A mobile home provides overnight lodging with a cistern water system in place. Access is dependable via a half-mile gravel driveway built on fabric, ensuring reliable entry even in wet conditions.
