Jacksonville, IL 62650(Morgan County)

It is not often that a property like this becomes available in this area, especially with a deer history like this one. Since 2002, the current owner and his friends that have been lucky enough to hunt the property have killed 18 bucks, two over the 200” mark, with an average gross score of 165”. The property is made up of 118 acres of WRP, 24 acres of tillable, some hardwood trees, as well as several food plots throughout. The property has a nice trail system, which allows easy access for hunting as well as periodic land maintenance. Over the past couple of years, the seller has added some sneak trails, hinge cuttings, and additional bedding to help hold and grow bigger deer. Along with the tremendous deer hunting, this property also has a strong turkey population. A 30” well is located on the south side of the north levee that will pump roughly 100 GPM. The seller would flood 5-10 acres each year to duck hunt. There are three Banks Stump 4 blinds on the property that will stay, along with several tree stands. All in all, this is a first-class whitetail hunting property with additional opportunities for hunting turkeys and waterfowl. The main house was built in 1922 but has had several upgrades over the years. The main level has a spacious kitchen, living room, and dining room. A full bathroom and a laundry room that doubles as a mudroom can also be found on the main level of this home. The upstairs consists of two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and an additional room that would be perfect for an office or third bedroom. The basement has two large rooms which are currently used for storage as well as a third room housing all the mechanical equipment. The house and barn are both connected to a 22kw whole house generator with its own separate 500-gallon propane tank. The house can be heated with a wood boiler or with propane heat from an additional 1000 gallon tank. Along the back of the house, you will find a large 32x16’ screened-in porch. Upon exiting the screened-in porch, you will find a 32x16’ deck. The backyard also has a fire pit and grilling area right off the porch and deck. These areas are the perfect spot for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day. A four-car, attached garage was built in 2016. The main area is roughly 36x29’ and has its own air conditioner and furnace. The backside of the garage does have an all-glass room that currently has a sauna in it. The upstairs in the garage is approximately 1200 square feet with a full bath and separate laundry room. Both levels of the garage are heated and cooled for year-round use. The Bank barn was built in 1923. This barn is nothing short of amazing and has been well cared for. The barn measures 60x36’ and consists of three different open, spacious levels. The basement can be heated with a wood boiler. The upstairs boasts unique, high ceilings. The final building on the property is a three-sided lean-to that is perfect for housing larger tractors, extra equipment and tree stands. This must-see property has so many great features, it would be impossible to note them all. If you are looking for rural living, this is the spot for you.
