31.34 +/- Acre Mixed Use Diamond in the Rough in Henry County

Property Description

An absolute diamond in the rough in Henry County, Illinois. The perfect mix of tillable ground and pasture on this 31.34 +/- acre tract. Complimenting the functional aspect of this property is a 36'x54' machine shed with electricity and a concrete floor for convenient on-site storage and/or workspace. It features two large overhead doors, 17'x9' on the south side and 16'x12' on the west side, that would accommodate easy drive-through access. Adjacent to the shed on the freshly maintained large gravel drive is a 10,000-bushel drying bin.

The property has convenient access from both County Highway 28 and East 2450th Street. The current tillable ground of 7 +/- acres was most recently in wheat under a year-to-year rental agreement with a neighboring farmer. The new owner may choose to continue that arrangement or utilize it themselves for the 2026 season. Currently, the property boasts 25 + acres of pasture that is fenced and ready to accept cattle, with about 50’ on the southwest side that has been temporarily removed to accommodate a pass-through for the neighbor’s cattle to utilize the property. If more tillable ground is desired, there is potential to convert some of the pasture in the northwest and southeast corners of the property.

In the heart of the property lies a blank canvas with sitework started on maintaining a spring-fed 1.5 +/- acre pond. The owner has removed a portion of the dam and all the trees that were slowly deteriorating the dam’s integrity. The new owner will have the option of restoring the pond to its former glory or simply allowing the cattle to enjoy the free-flowing natural springs as a water source. With everything being offered as is, the new owner wins either way.

The property is conveniently located just north of the town of Kewanee and about 5 miles south of Interstate 80. From there, Davenport, Iowa, is just 35 miles to the west, and the lakefront of Chicago is just over 2 hours to the east. If you’re into the outdoors, you will find great hiking and sightseeing just minutes away at Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area. If golf is your game, the Midland Golf Club is just a short drive south.

With the perfect combination of tillable ground, pasture, spring-fed water, on-site grain drying/storage, and the existing machine shop, this property will not be on the market very long.
