Property Description
40± Acres with Tillable Income, Hunting, and Homesite Potential | Franklin County, Illinois
Located near Mulkeytown, Illinois, just a few miles south of Christopher in Franklin County, this 40± acre property offers a strong combination of productive farmland, hunting and recreation, timber, water, and future homesite potential. The square-shaped tract includes approximately 24 acres of productive row crop and 16 acres of woods with a creek running through the timber.
The approximately 24 tillable acres are currently farmed under a crop-share arrangement with a local farmer, generating approximately $4,000 in share crop income. This provides an agricultural income component while leaving plenty of acreage available for hunting and recreation.
The recreational improvements have been developed with the outdoorsman in mind. Widened trails throughout the timber are planted in a fall food plot mix, with careful consideration given to deer stand locations and wildlife access. The pond has recently been enlarged, and millet has been planted to improve waterfowl habitat. The surrounding area is known for producing mature whitetail bucks.
The property also offers potential for a future home, cabin, or campsite. A gravel drive is already in place, along with a water meter and frost-proof hydrant. Approximately 2 acres have been planted in grass for a future building or camping area, and electric is available to be extended to a future structure. Road frontage on two sides provides additional access and flexibility. The parcel has not yet been split in recording.
