Description
Located just outside of Freeport in northwest Illinois, this 4.8-acre tract offers an incredible opportunity for the avid hunter or outdoor enthusiast. Tucked into a corridor of timber and river bottoms, this small but mighty parcel is ideally situated for big deer potential, with excellent access and habitat features. The property includes an interior trail system, allowing for easy access throughout, whether you're hauling gear, checking trail cams, or just enjoying a peaceful walk in the woods. Two elevated blinds are already in place on opposite sides of the property-ready for hunting season-making this a turnkey hunting setup. This land sits right in the heart of the Pecatonica River bottom ecosystem, surrounded by a mix of CRP fields, hardwood timber, and rich agricultural ground. That blend of habitat draws and holds quality whitetails and other game year-round. It's a classic travel corridor location, and the size of the parcel doesn't limit its potential, especially when considering the surrounding habitat and cover. One of the most unique aspects of this property is its unbeatable location. It borders the Jane Addams Trail-a 17-mile public trail that winds through scenic Stephenson County, perfect for biking, running, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. Just steps away is the Wes Block Boat Launch, giving you direct access to the Pecatonica River for kayaking, canoeing, or fishing adventures. The launch site also includes public restrooms and water, making it a great basecamp for day trips or longer excursions. Whether you're looking for a weekend hunting retreat, a recreational escape, or a piece of ground to simply call your own, this property delivers in all seasons. The combination of seclusion, access, and diverse habitat makes this a rare find in today's market.
