E Heartwood Rd, Waltonville, IL 62883 - Jefferson County

This multi-use property is what every waterfowler dreams of. With this property you can harvest every species of waterfowl common to Illinois in a single season. The 50-acre water impoundment comes equipped with a boat ramp, a six-man duck blind and attached boat hide and provides excellent Early Season teal hunting, as well as amazing diver-duck hunting throughout the fall season. During the season this lake loads up with Canvasback, Blue-bills, Ringnecks, and other diving ducks. They harvested two Long-tail ducks a couple of years ago.

An 8-acre wetland was added a couple of years ago, with a water control structure giving them the ability to plant and flood approximately 8 acres of corn. This wetland is where the puddle ducks prefer to spend their time and afternoon hunts provide ample opportunities to harvest Mallards, teal, Pintail, Wood ducks, Gadwall, and widgeon. There are plans for a third wetland cell that will provide an additional 4 flood-able acres that can also be planted to millet, buckwheat, or corn to add to the diversity of this property. The new wetland option is also a great location to burry a pit and extend your waterfowl season by chasing Canada Geese, Speckle bellies, and Snow Geese. The potential on this property is outstanding.

This farm isnt just a waterfowl property, there are several food plot locations around the perimeter of the water impoundment that help attract deer and turkey. When it is time to rest the wetlands, the owners can spend their time sitting in a tree stand watching ducks and hunting deer. There are several access points to the property and multiple locations ideal for building a future home, lodge, or shed. The proximity to Rend Lake also offers public waterfowl hunting for rest days, a great place to go fishing and tons of additional recreational opportunities. The sellers do not believe the 50-acre lake has been stocked with fish, but the water quality and aquatic species indicate that this lake could be stocked however a buyer would like to make it a great lake to fish in the future.
