80 +/- Acre Deer, Duck, and Turkey Hunting Property in Madison County

Property Description

This property in Madison County, located just outside the city limits of Granite City, is truly a rare find. Properties where you can hunt the “Big 3” — deer, duck, and turkey are few and far between, especially at this price point. Not only does this property provide amazing hunting opportunities, but its location and convenience to the Saint Louis Metro are what make it a true unicorn.

This property is located just north of Horseshoe Lake, which is managed for waterfowl. A drainage waterway runs through the property and into this lake, giving waterfowl an obvious flight path right into this property. The northwest corner is a swampy area with open water, and two well-positioned duck blinds are in place to put hunters right in the action. The bottomland timber on this tract provides some of the best security cover for wildlife you can imagine. The thick undergrowth throughout is littered with deer trails, and it’s obvious that this tract has the potential to hold not only a high number of deer, but mature deer that southern Illinois is known for. This tract and the neighboring properties make up the only significant wildlife cover for miles, so the drawing power should be very strong.

An easement off Kelly Road to the east leads to the waterway levee, which is mowed and very well-maintained, providing access through the property. A few trails in the timber are in place, but with a little work, more could be added to make the farm even more accessible. This property is ready for the next owner to create some awesome hunting memories. Give Land Agent Dane Werner a call today for a private showing.
