Anna Belle Lee Road, Lot#WP001, Cave In Rock, IL 62919 - Hardin County

This 7.62 acre all-timber hunting tract in Hardin County, Illinois, is located in a region well known for producing mature whitetail bucks and offers a unique opportunity to own a small but highly strategic piece of ground surrounded by public land. The property adjoins the Shawnee National Forest on two sides, providing direct access to thousands of additional acres for hunting and recreation. The tract consists of a timbered ridge side featuring a diverse mix of softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, creating excellent habitat and natural browse for wildlife. A small rock-bottom creek winds through the property, supplying a consistent water source while also serving as a natural travel corridor for deer moving between ridge systems and adjacent public ground. The terrain and timber layout make this tract ideal for bowhunting funnels, transition zones, and edge travel routes, particularly during the rut when deer movement increases between bedding and feeding areas. With no road frontage, the property maintains a secluded feel and benefits from reduced pressure, while easement access provides practical entry for hunting and land use. In addition to strong hunting potential, the location places you just minutes from some of Southern Illinois most sought-after recreational destinations, including Garden of the Gods, Rim Rock National Recreation Trail, and numerous other Shawnee National Forest attractions. Whether youre looking for a secluded hunting tract, a strategic access point to public land, or a recreational retreat surrounded by protected ground, this property offers exceptional value. Small tracts with this level of public land adjacency, habitat quality, and big-buck potential are increasingly rare in Hardin County. This is a unique opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Southern Illinois most desirable hunting regions.
