TBD Route 26 Lacon, IL 61540

Take notice of this rare opportunity to buy a massive farm along the Illinois River that has been in the same family since the 1830s ! The property is very diverse in it's different habitats covering the entire spectrum of wetlands, sloughs, bottom timber, creeks, cornfields and large tracts of upland timber that has not been logged. Any farm along the Illinois River will get the attention of duck hunters and this farm is no exception. A large portion of the property goes out into and along the Babb's Slough, a primary back water of the Illinois River and puts duck hunters right in the middle of the flyway action for decoying ducks. There are also 3 separate pods in the farm center where the water level is controlled in or out with a massive high capacity well and pump. All 3 pods can be planted with crops and flooded in the fall to draw ducks right in to feed. What really makes this particular property unique though is that the deer hunting is outstanding from one end of the 730 acres to the other. Much of it has never been deer hunted in the last 30 years and there are several areas that a person hasn't even walked in any recent memory. Also the south end of the farm adjoins the part of the Marshall Fish and Wildlife area that is off limits to deer hunting making that area like a huge preserve for the deer. The farm is so beautiful and expansive with limitless potential for both ducks and deer hunting making it a truly special place.
