1070 Wilderness Retreat Rd, Jonesboro, IL 62952

Whitetail managers check out this 234-acre retreat in the heart of southern Illinois! You'll be hard pressed to find another property in the Midwest that packs a punch as big as this one. Situated in a very quiet and rural area of Union County this farm has proven that it can grow and hold mature whitetails. There is a perfect balance of food, water and cover. From lush clover fields, to a beautiful stand of alfalfa, to a standing bean field, this farm consistently provides high levels of nutrition to support the herd in times of antler growth and fawn production. Inside the timber you'll find a variation of topography change and consistent cover from tree tops of timber that were recently lightly select cut. Step inside the fully furnished main lodge, a cozy sanctuary outfitted with everything you need—furniture, kitchenware, and bedding are all ready for you to settle in. And when it's time to entertain, head over to the game lodge, a rustic yet luxurious space complete with a pool table, bar, full kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom—perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors. Hunters will appreciate the well-equipped skinning room with a winch, running water, skinning tables and a walk-in cooler, making this a true sportsman's paradise. A large shop out back makes an excellent place to store equipment and tools, all of those things necessary to manage a farm of this caliber. The land itself is a perfect balance of recreation and investment. About 32 acres of cropland are leased to a local farmer, while established food plots and six strategically placed box blinds create the ultimate hunting experience. Three stocked ponds offer hours of fishing for bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish, rounding out the property's incredible outdoor offerings. As if that weren't enough, the sale includes a like-new IH 75hp tractor and all the necessary implements, making maintaining this slice of heaven as effortless as it is rewarding. Whether you're looking for a private escape, a hunting retreat, or a long-term investment in natural beauty, this property offers it all—an opportunity you simply can't pass up.
