820 S Blackjack Rd, Galena, IL 61036

Wow! Take a look at this hidden gem, located just outside the town of Galena. Chances are if you’ve traveled the scenic, Blackjack Road, you’ve driven right past this long driveway that leads to the center of this piece of paradise. For hunting, this property has a little bit of everything you could possibly want! There are about 3.5 acres in hay production, and another 5 acres more or less in grass that could be converted into food plots. As you move throughout the property, you’ll quickly notice its diversity. From mature hardwoods to thick nasty cover, to pine trees, to creek bottom ground, this property has it all! The pine trees reside mostly in the northwest corner of the property where there is a very thick stand of them providing for great cover. I couldn’t believe the deer trails going in and out of them from the creek bottom! The creek bottom has mature trees, and the creek is easily accessible. There are beaten down deer trails throughout the whole property, and the varying terrain and habitat provide for perfect pinch points and ambush spots. While I was walking the property, and taking photos, I could hear a turkey gobbling in the distance, even over the sound of Smallpox Creek running through the property! It wasn’t surprising to me that I jumped a few wood ducks off the creek, and I would suspect that shooting a few ducks every year wouldn’t be a problem. There is a 50x30 Morton building that lies at the end of a long, well-maintained driveway. The building has a two car garage, and half of it is finished giving you a place to live or to stay when coming out to the property! There is one spacious bedroom and one bathroom. There is a very cozy living room area with a fireplace, and the kitchen overlooks it making it perfect for entertaining guests. If you’re looking for a prime hunting property with diverse opportunities and a building that meets your needs, look no further! Don’t hesitate to jump on this property, or it might be gone!
