This mixed use property is located in the heart of Ogle county between Leaf River and Byron. Great location 100 miles from Chicago and a quick access to US-20. On the property you have a nice private feel but stone's throw from multiple towns with groceries, hardware stores, bars & restaurants. Good road access on Mrytle road and Victory Rd. with multiple entrances. This property has a little bit of everything! Up by the road you have two large ag fields. The field on the east side of the property is cradled between timber on the north and a meandering creek and timber that cuts through the middle of the property. To the west of the creek you have another large ag field on the Mrytle rd side of the property and some open fallow fields that would be a great addition to deer habitat & food plots. The interior of this farm has a combination of timber, open fallow fields, and early successional forest. This would make an excellent area to mow in trails for access throughout the property. The last of ag fields is in the northwest part of the property. An added lane on the west side of the property would allow you access behind this field into an open area that has so much hunting potential and would be an excellent area for food plots coming off the bedding area. There are multiple spots on this property that would make excellent building sites for a cabin or custom home. Current owner would like to continue farming the property if the new buyer wishes.**PLEASE DO NOT GO ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT A REAL ESTATE AGENT OR APPOINTMENT**
