Property Description

32.7 Acres with Hunting, Pond, Trails, and Build Potential | Mercer County, Illinois

Your private hunting and adventure headquarters, just minutes from Viola. This versatile 32.7-acre recreational property is located approximately 1.75 miles southwest of Viola, Illinois, and offers excellent hunting habitat, an extensive private trail system, water features, a quality campsite, and potential for a future homesite.

The rolling terrain features an impressive network of trails winding throughout the property, providing quiet and convenient access to virtually every corner of the farm. The trail system also creates plenty of opportunities for UTVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, and horseback riding. A beautiful approximately 0.4-acre pond includes a sandy beach area, while a year-round creek flows through the property and supplies the pond with water. Several small openings throughout the timber and cover could also be developed into food plots.

The property includes an outstanding level campsite with room for multiple campers, parking, unloading trailers, and turning around. A quality gated entrance and gravel driveway provide dependable all-weather access. An existing well is present, although the electrical service is currently nonfunctional and the well should not be considered operational without further inspection or repair. The sellers also have a couple of campers currently on the property and would be willing to negotiate their sale separately with an interested buyer.

Mature pine stands, timber, rolling topography, the creek, pond, openings, and adjoining habitat combine to create strong conditions for whitetail hunting and year-round recreation. The surrounding area has a strong local reputation for producing trophy whitetails. The property also offers potential as a future homebuilding site within the Sherrard School District. It is less than a mile from Highway 67 and approximately 30 minutes south of the Quad Cities.
