6640 Walnut Ridge Road , Grantsburg, IL 62943(Massac County)

MOTIVATED SELLER!!! Investors take a look at this farm!!! At the current asking price this farm is generating a 3.4% annual ROI from the $16,717 annual CRP payment. And if you are not interested in the hunting rights you can lease those out to generate additional annual income. If you’re more interested in hunting it yourself, here is what I like about the farm; easy access, great genetics, topography change and phenomenal habitat. This property is bordered on the west side by Walnut Ridge Road and I-24 on the east. Depending on the wind, you can access the farm at any point along the road or there are established trails that will take you anywhere on the farm. With all the thick bedding/sanctuary cover on this farm, it acts as the bedding area for the local deer herd and as the season progresses it typically sees an increase in deer numbers as the neighboring deer figure out they’re being hunted. There are crop fields bordering this property on the north and west sides. The CRP program allows for 10% of enrolled acreage to be planted in food plots. That’s a total of 17.5 acres! This is an ideal situation to go in and create several staging plots to catch deer on their way to feed in the agriculture as well as several large destination plots. The current owner has harvested several deer in the 135”-150” range. You can see from the trail camera photos and finished taxidermy pictures that there are a mix of big 8 pointers as well as solid 10 point genetics. If you’re looking to add a hunting lodge this farm has a building site and utilities available at the road. The location of the building site would offer a great view of the farm. If you’re looking for a stellar hunting farm with a good building site and a solid ROI, give us a call today to schedule your private tour!
