Property Description
139.75± Acres of Illinois Waterfowl & Trophy Whitetail Hunting Land | Monroe County, Illinois
This 139.75± acre hunting property is located in Monroe County, Illinois, in the Mississippi River bottoms of Southern Illinois and within an hour of St. Louis, MO. Known for world-class deer genetics and strong waterfowl migration, this farm offers serious buyers a rare opportunity for both trophy whitetail hunting and professionally developed duck habitat.
The levee-protected tract sits in proven big buck country where habitat and limited pressure allow deer to live on the property rather than simply pass through. Established food plots, secure bedding cover, and sanctuary areas create ideal conditions for holding mature bucks throughout the season-from early archery through late firearm.
For waterfowlers, the property features three leveed duck impoundments constructed to government specifications, underground water-control piping, adjustable water structures, and a 4-man concrete pit blind. An irrigation well with power unit and 500-gallon fuel tank allows dependable flooding regardless of rainfall, making this a true turn-key waterfowl setup.
A maintained trail system provides quiet access throughout the farm, and a 30x40 pole barn with partial concrete floor and electrical service offers secure storage for equipment. This is a complete recreational property designed for hunters who want both consistency and quality in one farm.
