Bellville Road, Lot#WP001 , Ozark, IL 62972(Pope County)

If you are looking for a farm to add some sweat equity and hard work then you must see this one! It is a true wildlife manager’s dream! The current owner has been in the process of converting 120 acres of overgrown CRP into tillable. As it sits right now there are about 50 acres ready to be planted this fall. There are an additional 40 acres that have been knocked down and piled up, they just need to be burned. Because of this, the owner is willing to give the buyer $10,000 cash at closing to finish up the work. On the east end of the farm is a gorgeous, rock-bottom creek that borders the property. There are two ponds on the property offering excellent wildlife watering holes as the deer migrate out to the crop fields. Adjoining on two sides is the Shawnee National Forest giving you access to thousands of acres of Shawnee National Forest. This area has produced some quality deer over the years. If you’re looking for a solid investment and you’re serious about wildlife management then you need to check out this farm!
