It is not often that opportunities come up to own truly world-class pieces of recreational property; ones that check every single major box! It is even more rare that pieces like this shake loose in certain specific counties. However, one of these sought-after chances to own a piece of whitetail paradise has come up! Introducing this 149+/- acre (pending survey) property in Morgan County: Indian Creek Hunting Mecca, conveniently located just 5+/- miles from Jacksonville and 30+/- miles from Springfield. It is immediately evident from looking at an aerial view that the property lays out phenomenally for hunting purposes, with great connecting habitat, a great ratio of cover to open ground, hardwoods for bedding and rut hunting, a great quantity of food acreage and multiple pinch points ideal for bowhunting. Ideal setups for every wind direction exist across the property, allowing it to be effectively hunted from day 1 to the final day of season. Four existing food plots are scattered across the property, with 3 having been frost seeded to clover, and the fourth getting sprayed off shortly to keep weed pressure down in preparation for a late summer planting. Several tillable field coves ideal for leaving standing crops, green plots, or even additional bedding acreage are scattered across the property as well, allowing a landowner to further stack various food sources for multiple wind directions. Sharp topography changes within the timber create ideal ridge end and hillside bedding, as well as tight pinch points extremely conducive to rut hunting. Flat bottom ground habitat exists on the north end of the property as well, which creates a natural rut travel corridor and is excellent for turkey hunting. Water is present on the NE corner from Indian creek, and a small pond means water is readily available for wildlife on the property year-round. Access from a blacktop road on the West side, a wide field road not exposed to bedding, and the layout of the fields ensures clean, easy access into every part of the farm. Equally as important is the fact that the property lays in a low-hunting pressure area proven to produce world class whitetails- with recent 200 inch harvest history and a large number of 4+ year old bucks on the farm in the 2025 season that were passed to achieve top end management goals. This means that the property is currently stacked with big shooters for this upcoming season- all it is missing is a hunter! A very healthy turkey population exists as well on the property, leaving no shortage of entertainment for springtime hunting. In addition to being an excellent recreational property, this farm offers additional benefits including 42+/- FSA tillable acres with an average PI score of 111, as well as acreage currently being enrolled into a buffer strip CRP program, producing both income and habitat benefits. A small house, shed, barn, and grain bin located just off of the blacktop offer storage, convenience, and a potential additional source of income to a buyer. Well water and electric are available onsite, with rural water lines being available close nearby. The adjacency to Jacksonville and Springfield means that small and large town amenities are always just a short drive away! This slice of hunting heaven is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase, so do not hesitate to reach out and come see for yourself what makes this place so incredible!
