Property Overview
Located near Marietta in Fulton County, Illinois, this exceptional 80-acre hunting and recreational farm offers the ideal combination of trophy whitetail habitat, income-producing farmland, and long-term recreational value. Situated in the highly regarded hunting region of West Central Illinois, the property has been carefully positioned to support serious deer hunting while also generating annual income through productive tillable acreage.
The property features approximately 52 acres of mature timber with thick ridges, natural cover, secluded bedding areas, and a creek system that naturally funnels wildlife movement throughout the farm. Multiple hidden coves provide excellent locations for strategically placed food plots, creating ideal setups for consistent deer activity during all phases of the hunting season.
One of the farm’s standout features is the custom-built waterhole positioned within the standing bean field, which has become a proven attraction point for mature bucks.
