Property Description
413 Acres of CRP & Tillable Income with Trophy Whitetail Hunting | Knox County, Illinois
Located southwest of Maquon in Knox County, Illinois, this 413-acre hunting and income property sits in an area known for consistently producing Boone and Crockett caliber whitetails. The farm combines substantial CRP and tillable acreage with timber habitat, secluded access, newly created trails, food plots, and outstanding recreational opportunities.
The hunting in this area is as good as it gets. Multiple 200-inch whitetails have been harvested or observed in the surrounding area, and neighboring properties consist largely of substantial landholdings managed for trophy deer with very light hunting pressure. The farm is located at the end of a gravel lane, creating a quiet and secluded setting. Wild pheasants are abundant, while the Spoon River and Haw Creek provide excellent fishing for smallmouth bass and catfish.
The property includes 144 acres of CRP producing $38,867 in annual income. The CRP is currently in compliance and in its second year, allowing the warm-season grasses to continue developing into valuable wildlife cover and habitat. An additional 115 tillable acres are available for farming this year, with estimated annual cash rent of approximately $50,000. Combined, these income sources provide approximately $88,867 in estimated annual income.
Across the full 413 acres, the combination of CRP, tillable ground, timber, wildlife habitat, trails, and food plots creates a diverse property built for both income and recreation. Newly created trails and food plots throughout the timber improve access and hunting opportunities while complementing the developing CRP habitat.
