Property Description

Well rounded mixed farm with dependable income, recreation, and long term investment value.

Located just 3.2 miles south of Maquon, Illinois, this 155.4± acre Knox County farm presents the kind of opportunity that continues to grow more difficult to find - a well-rounded investment tract with dependable income, quality farm ground, and proven recreational appeal, all wrapped into one attractive property.

With approximately 112.2 acres considered tillable, including 93.5 acres currently in row crop production and 14.2 acres enrolled in CRP contracts, this farm offers a healthy combination of annual return and long-term stability. The current lease structure provides $18,700 in annual cash rent income through the 2026 crop year, along with an additional $3,748 annually from CRP payments. Carrying an overall Productivity Index of 110, the farm presents solid Class C agricultural ground with the kind of gentle roll and contour that remains highly farmable while creating natural beauty, privacy, and character throughout the property.

From the road, very little of the farm reveals itself all at once. As you move across the landscape, the subtle terrain changes create a surprising sense of seclusion and quiet enjoyment rarely found on highly usable acreage. It is easy to envision crisp fall mornings in a tree stand, evenings spent checking crops or walking the farm with family, and years of memories made while the land steadily works in your favor financially.

The area surrounding Maquon has long been recognized for producing quality whitetail deer, and while no formal hunting history is available, the combination of surrounding habitat, rolling terrain, southern-facing slopes, hidden pockets of CRP cover, and agriculture gives this property strong recreational appeal for hunting-minded buyers. Whether you are looking for a dependable investment with hunting lease potential, a productive farm to add to your operation, or a legacy property to enjoy with future generations, this tract checks an impressive number of boxes.

The farm features Highway 97 frontage along the west side and county road access along the north side, offering excellent accessibility and multiple points of entry. A former homestead located on the north end was previously separated from the farm by the current ownership, leaving behind a clean and functional tract focused on income production, recreation, and long-term land ownership value.

Good farms have always rewarded patience and long-term thinking. This is the type of property buyers often look back on years later and are thankful they purchased when the opportunity presented itself.
