Erie, IL 61250 - Whiteside County

This is a rare opportunity to own an extremely versatile piece of property surrounded by Big Bend state ground and close to the Rock River. Great access points allow you multiple ways to slip into the property. Banks Road is a township road that takes you to a shared lane allowing you to drive directly into the property; on the east side, you have foot access off of Banks Road through the state ground, and to the south, you have another access point by foot. Coming into the property from the north, you have open fallow fields with young timber on the edges with room for additional food sources. The east of this area provides a timber slough with multiple access points. Traveling south, it opens up into a 5-acre food plot currently planted with fall clover and winter wheat. There is a hardtop blind nestled into a clump of trees interior of the food plot. To the west of the food plot, you have a large field currently enrolled in CRP and a 5-acre timber sanctuary. To the east, you have timber and the second of the sloughs. Inside the timber, you have a major travel corridor for game coming over a tube crossing in between this slough and the largest slough. Another hard-top blind is located close to this tube crossing. The excellent composition of this property makes it a hunter's paradise. It’s rare to have such and successful history of not only deer and turkeys but with potential to hunt waterfowl and fish in Northern Illinois. If that wasn’t enough - Big Bend state ground provides 2500 acres +/- of deer, turkey, and waterfowl habitat. Giving you potential to hunt state ground in addition to your own property. **PLEASE DO NOT GO ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT A REAL ESTATE AGENT OR APPOINTMENT**
