Recreational buyers and wildlife enthusiasts take note-this is a generational opportunity to acquire one of the most diverse and distinguished large acre recreational properties that you will find anywhere in the Midwest. This 346.52 +/- acre farm offers everything from a private 28 acre lake along with various other sloughs and ponds, almost one mile of Rush Creek frontage, multiple stands of towering pine trees, and dramatic hardwood ridges and valleys with some incredible views across the property and beyond. A tale of two sides-the west side of the property features a large ridge with approximately 120 acres of hardwoods and upland game. The east side sits down the Rush Creek valley and showcases scattered wetlands and a mix of low lying tree species, open grasslands, scattered stands of pines and an abundance of waterfowl species. The topography offers many natural funnels and pinch points that hunters could use to their strategic advantage as well as many openings that could be converted to large food plots including approximately 55 acres that are currently in row crop production. Sitting just off the shore of the lake is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath cabin with a large master bedroom, a cozy great room with a wood burning fireplace, and a 3 season room facing the lake that would be the ultimate spot to relax and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature. This property is conveniently located a half hour from downtown Galena, 3 hours to downtown Chicago, 3 hours to downtown Milwaukee, 2 hours to downtown Madison, and just 1.5 hour from the Quad Cities. There are no amount of words or photographs that could capture everything that this property has to offer. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a MUST see for the serious buyer looking to acquire their own private wildlife oasis. Seller to review any and all offers on October 21st. Seller reserves right to accept offer prior to deadline.
