This is a very clean 50/50 farm that every hunter would love to own. With just shy of 40 acres in tillable land, the farm has been producing $9,925 ($250/ac) in cash rent annually. The remaining acreage is rolling timber which is traced by a creek along the north and east side. The timber is well stocked with 10-17" black walnut and has some mature trees as well. There's a good mix of red oak, white oak, hickory and cherry, as well, providing great habitat for whitetails, turkeys, and small game. An existing campsite area on the south side of the farm is a perfect spot for family recreation and outdoor activities, or a possibly site to build your future home or cabin. A trail system leads through the trees to a hidden opening by the creek, there a small off-grid cabin sits next to a fire pit, ready for memories to be made. Bordered by roads on the north, east and south sides, the access into this farm is unmatched by any similar sized farm I've sold in a long time. This property is great blend of terrific hunting/recreation, with a solid investment element. Located 35 miles southwest of the Quad Cities, in Mercer County School District.
