County Rd 1300 E, Lot #WP001, Lakewood, IL 62438 - Shelby County

This exceptional farm in Shelby County presents excellent opportunities for hunters, farmers, or investors, offering a combination of income-producing land, prime hunting habitat, and agricultural potential. The CRP acres currently generate an annual payment of $15,400, providing you immediate cash flow. The CRP also serves as cover and habitat for the local deer population, directly enhancing the hunting on this farm. The property already sets up well and adding a food plot or two for late-season hunts would make it even more attractive. The entire property showed significant deer sign as you will see in the pictures, confirming this tract is most certainly a prime hunting location. The creek meandering through the middle acts as a natural travel corridor, and it is clear that deer utilize this area. This creek, along with the surrounding timber, creates several pinch points ideal for strategically placed stands to capitalize on natural deer movement.In addition to its hunting potential, the land offers promising agricultural opportunities. With a PI rating of 101.5, the tillable ground is well-suited for food plots or other crops, providing additional income potential or simply enhancing the habitat for hunting purposes. The property is easily accessible from both the north and west, with road frontage on a well-maintained county road, which allows for strategic maneuvering to capitalize on wind patterns for optimal hunting conditions. Additionally, two of the three CRP contracts are set to expire in the next couple of years, giving the new owner flexibility to renew, transition back to farming, or remove these contracts to optimize the property for hunting. As previously mentioned, add a couple of food plots and you are going to further enhance the hunting. Whether you are seeking a ready-to-hunt farm with proven deer activity or a productive piece of farmland, this parcel offers both. It is a perfect mix of income, opportunity, and hunting potential.
