75± Acres with Farm Income and Investment Potential | Knox County, Illinois
Quality soils and dependable income in a manageable-sized investment tract.
Located just south of Maquon, Illinois, this 75± acre tract offers an outstanding opportunity to acquire a highly productive and income-producing farm in a desirable area of Knox County.

The farm features a gentle rolling topography that is both attractive and highly functional.

A timbered draw running through the center of the property creates natural separation between fields and adds character, wildlife habitat, and recreational appeal.
