Mound City, IL 62963(Pulaski County)

First time this property has ever hit the market. The owners of this incredible property have pieced this farm together over a period of 20 years. The owners have built this recreational paradise with wildlife management and habitat improvement as the main priority. This farm offers year-round recreational opportunities. Turkey and mushroom hunting in the spring, fishing in the 26-acre lake located in the heart of the property and the two ponds near the lodge during the summer months, deer hunting in the fall, and premier waterfowl hunting to carry you through the winter. The whitetail herd has been under management for over 10 years. This farm has a record of producing quality mature bucks consistently. The property offers suitable habitat to hold a solid population and the government programs allow enough sustainability to feed them all year long. The East Side Club is located directly in the flyway from the Ballard County Refuge in Kentucky to the Horseshoe Lake Conservation Area in Illinois. If X marks the spot, this farm is the X when comes to waterfowl. The owners have had the farm enrolled in TSI since 2001 and recently had a timber cruise valuing the inventory at $432,000. The tillable acreage offers a great annual return as well. The lodge is located on a 13-acre parcel at the northern end of the property. It consists of nearly 7,000 sq ft of living space, 9 bedrooms, 9 baths, 2 kitchens, and an open floor plan living room area perfect for entertaining your guests. The closed in porch provides a scenic view overlooking the two ponds located on the building site, as well as a great view overlooking the bottoms. The lodge runs on geothermal, and there is back up LP for heat in the winter. There are two large garages attached to the building and plenty of storage for all of your gear and equipment. There is a concrete dog kennel and blacktop driveway surrounding three sides of the building. The lodge comes with an up-to-date surveillance system to keep it all under wraps. The owners have meticulously built this property up to what it is today. They take a lot of pride in their efforts in developing this hidden gem in southern Illinois. Now it's time for the next owner to reap the rewards of this wonderful project. 148 Miles to St. Louis, Mo., 176 miles to Nashville, TN., 169 miles to Memphis, TN.
