82 acres in Southern IL with Hunting, Fishing, Income, Cabin, and Pole Barn Located approximately 6 miles south of Mt. Vernon in desirable Jefferson County, this 82-acre Southern Illinois property checks so many boxes offering hunting, fishing, income-producing farmland, a cabin, and a large pole barn. For the hunting enthusiast, the property has experienced minimal hunting pressure and supports a wide variety of wildlife. A strong mix of productive open ground and thick cover creates excellent opportunities to intercept a big IL buck or gobbling tom each year. The south end of the farm provides valuable security cover, and the creek bottom serves as a major travel corridor with multiple natural funnels. The slightly rolling terrain and trails allow hunters solid access options. Leaving s tanding grain each fall or converting a few acres into food plots would further enhance the hunting potential. Approximately 50 acres of productive farmland, currently planted in soybeans, generate $6,000 per year in crop income. This open ground adds flexibility and offers several possible uses. There are great building sites, or the farmland could be converted to CRP to enhance the wildlife habitat. The 900-square-foot, 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin is ready for weekend getaways, hunting camp, or use as a permanent homestead. In addition, the impressive 50x80’ pole barn provides valuable space and flexibility. The barn could be used for equipment storage, a workshop, or potentially converted into additional living quarters. A stocked 1 + acre pond provides convenient fishing enjoyment. The property is also just minutes from popular Rend Lake and the Rend Lake State Wildlife Area, which consist of thousands of acres of public hunting land.
