Set along the southern banks of the Illinois River and less than an hour from Chicago, this extraordinary +/- 250-acre estate in north-central Grundy County offers a rare blend of recreation, productive farmland, and enduring investment value. The property provides premier whitetail deer, wild turkey, upland and waterfowl habitat combined with income-producing CRP and tillable acreage (120-125PI). There is also potential for mining income with a mine adjacent to the west and leasing out waterfowl hunting rights. This unique, picturesque piece of land presents an unparalleled opportunity to own a private recreational legacy in one of northern Illinois' most desirable locations. Located only 23 miles from Joliet, the property has been strategically managed for mature whitetails for nearly 10 years with multiple bucks being harvested over the magical 160" mark. Every inch of the property has been carefully designed to maximize its hunting capacity and comes turn-key with established food plots, mature timber, CRP grasses, nesting habitat, bedding areas, productive row-crop, strategically placed trails and meandering backwaters of the Illinois River. Trail camera history provides strong evidence of bucks of varying ages and antler classes, highlighting the property's exceptional whitetail genetics, deer density and promise of the future. There is also a one-of-a-kind blue heron rookery on site, offering superb birding opportunities. Access to the farm is private, yet convenient. It is right off Route 47 in Morris, just over three miles from Interstate 80. There are multiple gated access points along both Pine Bluff Road and Dwight Road, offering easy entry points depending on wind direction. There are trees and shrubs strategically planted blocking all visibility from the road, enhancing the exclusivity and privacy for both hunters and game. There is an established internal trail system providing easy access throughout the property wide enough for heavy equipment yet small enough for wildlife to feel protected while feeding in the open. The trails and food plot placement allow for hunting all wind directions and varying hunting strategies. The property also sits in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway between multiple sanctuaries and roosting areas, offering tremendous waterfowl hunting. There is a no-hunting +/- 1,500 acre open water mining facility adjacent to the west that is a major resting point for migratory birds. The Illinois River borders to the north, acting as a beacon for the flyway. The Mazonia-Braidwood F&W area (+/- 3,600 acres) is immediately to the east with Heidecke Lake / Goose Lake Prairie (+/- 4,000 acres) directly east of that. The subject property sits in the middle of it all! With direct river access and harvested crop fields, hunters can adapt to changing conditions throughout the season. A special feature exists in a natural backwater oxbow offering exceptional early season hunting opportunities for fast flying wood ducks and blue & green winged teal, while acting as a sanctuary for elusive whitetails. With a flyway, roosting areas, and food all in the immediate area, this rare waterfowl trifecta offers a diverse mix of puddle ducks, geese and divers. Beyond the property boundaries, enjoy convenient access to Interstate 80, the dining and retail of downtown Morris, excellent fishing with public boat launches on the Illinois River and nearby Heidecke Lake, or pick up a round of golf at the Morris Country Club. Whether you're seeking a premier whitetail, wild turkey or waterfowl hunting destination, a private recreational retreat, or a land investment with multiple income sources, this rare offering delivers an exceptional combination of habitat, productivity, and location that truly needs to be seen in person for any serious outdoor enthusiast!
