5677 Tick Ridge Road, Grand Chain, IL 62941 - Pulaski County

As you turn off the blacktop onto a gravel, dead-end road, you cannot help but notice the rolling landscape leading to this dream property! This area of Southern Illinois is very gently rolling with an abundance of trees, crop fields and cattle pastures. The gravel road ends just past this property, and there are no permanent homes down the road, so traffic is virtually non-existent. You’ll first arrive at an older pole barn with covered equipment storage. The barn is 30’x40’ with an additional 30’ x 30’ covered storage. There is also a second building, which was previously used to store catfish food. The current owners designed and installed the catfish ponds back in the 90s, and this was their home base. Currently, three ponds are still holding water while the others have been drained. These provide an excellent place to wet a line and enjoy life while you watch the sun set. The open ground is enrolled in CRP, producing $3,400 annually to the landowner. This would transfer to the new buyer upon closing. Not only is this a great revenue stream for the buyer it is also excellent food and cover for the wildlife. As you can see from the pictures, this property has produced many deer, turkeys and small game over the years. If you are looking for your peaceful getaway in the rolling hills of Southern Illinois, then give me a call today for a showing.
