This is a rare opportunity to own an extremely versatile recreational property in Whiteside County, surrounded by Big Bend State Ground and just a short distance from the Rock River. The location alone makes this farm stand out, with access points that allow you to slip into the property from multiple directions. Off Banks Road, a township-maintained road, you'll find a shared lane that provides direct drive-in access. On the east side, there is additional foot access through the state ground, offering another strategic entry point depending on wind and hunting conditions. Coming in from the north, the property begins with open fallow fields edged with young timber, providing early successional habitat and room for adding food sources. To the east, a timber slough with multiple access points sets up well for hunting or habitat enhancement. Traveling south, the farm opens into a well-established 5-acre food plot with a hard-sided blind tucked into a clump of trees for excellent concealment. West of the food plot lies a large field with 16 acres currently enrolled in CRP, generating income while enhancing wildlife cover. To the east is a block of timber holding the second of the property's sloughs, creating a natural travel corridor that connects directly to the largest slough. Inside the timber, game funnels across a tube crossing, and another hard-sided blind has been strategically placed to capitalize on this movement. The diversity and layout of this property make it a well-rounded hunting and recreational farm. From proven whitetail and turkey hunting to the potential for waterfowl and fishing, it is rare to find a tract in northern Illinois with this kind of opportunity. Adding to the appeal, Big Bend State Ground surrounds the farm, providing an additional 2,500 acres of deer, turkey, and waterfowl habitat. With the combination of private ground, quality habitat, food sources, and public land access, this is a one-of-a-kind property that delivers year-round outdoor recreation and a strong hunting legacy.
