It’s not often a property like this comes available in Calhoun County. This 149± acre turnkey waterfowl and whitetail hunting operation sits in the heart of an area known for producing consistent duck numbers, and it’s set up the right way from top to bottom. Approximately 137 acres of the property are enrolled in WRP, and it provides tremendous habitat for ducks, geese, giant whitetails, and abundant turkeys.
This is a property built for reliability. The leveed duck impoundment is supported by a deep well with a 12-inch discharge, allowing you to control water levels when it matters most. Whether you’re holding birds during migration or keeping water open when conditions tighten up, this system gives you an advantage that many properties simply don’t have.
The hunting setup is already in place and ready to go. Two buried pits are strategically positioned within the impoundment, offering excellent concealment and the ability to hunt varying wind conditions. The surrounding area is well known for strong duck traffic, and this farm sits right in the middle of it.
Beyond waterfowl, the property offers tremendous whitetail deer hunting along with a strong population of turkeys. The combination of habitat, food, and surrounding landscape creates a year-round recreational property that checks multiple boxes for serious outdoorsmen.
The improvements on this farm are just as impressive as the land itself. A very nice lodge overlooks the duck impoundment, giving you a front-row seat to morning hunts and evening flights. In addition, a guest house featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms sits overlooking a beautiful lake, making this property ideal for hosting family, friends, or clients.
Functionality was clearly a priority in the design of this property. A diesel power plant with fuel tank supports the well system, most of the acreage is levee protected, and an open machine shed provides ample storage for equipment. To make the transition seamless, a tractor and disk are included in the sale.
Access is excellent with a well-maintained gravel road leading to a gated entrance, providing both convenience and privacy.
This is a true turnkey recreational property in one of Illinois’ most sought-after waterfowl regions. Everything is in place for the next owner to step in and start hunting on day one.
If you’re looking for a property that offers dependable duck hunting, strong deer and turkey opportunities, and the ability to comfortably host and enjoy it with others, this is one you need to see.
