Property Description

Tucked away along the Edwards River in Mercer Co., Illinois, this 34.1-acre recreational property offers the kind of seclusion that serious whitetail hunters appreciate. Accessed by a recorded easement with no public road frontage, this hidden gem provides privacy, outstanding wildlife habitat, and over 1,600 feet of scenic river frontage. Positioned within the floodplain of the Edwards River, this property sits in the heart of a major travel corridor for mature bucks. Miles of connected timber, CRP grasses, and established tree plantings extend both upstream and downstream, creating ideal habitat that funnels deer movement throughout the fall, especially during the rut. The existing habitat already supports excellent hunting, while the open areas provide outstanding opportunities to establish strategic food plots that could elevate this farm even further. Beyond hunting, the property offers plenty of recreational opportunities. Enjoy camping beneath the trees, hiking the trails, riding ATVs, kayaking the Edwards River, or spending quiet evenings fishing. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or an affordable hunting retreat, this property delivers a rare combination of privacy, habitat, and river frontage. Opportunities to own quality hunting land on a proven watershed in Mercer Co for well under $200,000 are becoming increasingly difficult to find. If you've been searching for an affordable recreational property with legitimate trophy whitetail potential, this is it.
