Mercer County, Illinois 41 Acres of Land For Sale

Property Description

Beautiful 41-Acre Mercer County Retreat with Timber, Trails, and Turnkey Hunting Potential

This 41.4-acre Mercer County property is a very solid "starter farm" with plenty of potential to be developed into much more! Rolling hardwood timber stretches across the landscape, with a creek winding diagonally through the property and drawing in wildlife year-round.
A trail system is already in place, making it easy to access your hunting stands quietly—or to enjoy an afternoon of ATV riding through the woods. Near the gated entrance on the southeast corner, a solid pole barn with partial concrete floor and electricity offers immediate utility. It’s well suited for storage, or a weekend cabin build-out.
The timber mix features a few mature white oaks alongside younger hardwoods such as black walnut, cherry, hickory, and a variety of oak species—setting up a great long-term timber investment while offering excellent habitat for whitetails and turkeys. This property is surrounded by expansive wooded tracts in a great area for big whitetails. Located 2.5 miles southwest of Sherrard, and within the Sherrard School District, just 25 minutes south of Moline, IL on a hard road.
Whether you’re looking for a private hunting retreat, a future build site in the country, or a place to enjoy quiet weekends outdoors, this farm checks all the right boxes.
