550 Oak Street , Spring Valley, IL 61362(Bureau County)

If you’ve been waiting for an affordable property with great hunting, this is it! On the property is an approximate 1120 square foot house with three bedrooms and one bathroom which would be great for a hunting cabin, weekend getaway, or even a primary residence. Hardwood floors flow through the living room and bedrooms. In the living room is a wood-burning fireplace to help heat the house and keep energy costs down. There is a forced air furnace to heat the house along with a wood-burning stove to help keep the basement warm. In between the kitchen and 2-car garage, there is a room that would make a great workshop or man-cave area. Because of the proximity to Spring Valley, the house utilizes city water instead of a well. Also on the property is a mobile home with running water which would be great for accommodating guests or a hunter if you chose to lease out hunting rights for extra income. There is also a small storage shed to keep all your tools and toys out of the garage. As far as hunting, this property has the potential to keep you busy all season long! There is an opportunity to hunt multiple species on this farm including deer, turkeys, coyotes, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, ducks, geese, etc. There were tons of well-defined deer trails and tracks throughout the entire property. We saw many locations where multiple trails pinched down into a single spot. These would make perfect stand locations to intercept the heavy deer traffic. There are approximately 2 acres of a grass field which could easily be converted into a nice food plot to attract and nourish wildlife. There are also many spots within the timber which could be cleared and planted to make great kill plots. Spring Creek runs through the northwest corner providing a year-round water source for wildlife. The northeast portion has a nice trail system which could easily be continued into the rest of the property with a little work. This would make great access for getting to and from your stand when you’re setting up on that buck of a lifetime! On the south side of the property, there is plenty of mature timber along with a small pond. Deer love to bed in the thick vegetation in this area, and we kicked up a couple of deer bedded in the tall grass when walking the property. Being so close to the Illinois River, this bottom area has the potential for great waterfowl hunting when you get tired of hunting deer! We don’t anticipate this property lasting long, so give one of us a call to schedule your personal showing before someone else beats you to it!
