Crow Road, Lot #WP001, Franklin, IL 62638 - Morgan County

This is one of those properties that looks good when you pull in but just keeps getting better the more you see. The property is well set up for a mix of hunting, farming, and recreation. The property starts with around 9 acres of hayfield that could easily be put into row crop production. The hayfield winds its way along a small block of hardwood timber providing many natural areas for food plots, pinch points and turkey sets. As you travel further along the lane you come to the approximately 14 acres of CRP land that produces $3,444 annually. The CRP sets in the middle of the property and provides great bedding and fawning habitat. On the northwest edge of the CRP is the prepped pond location. The trees have been removed and the site is ready for the construction of a dam. This would be the perfect location for a home that could be easily oriented for enjoying sunrises off the front porch and sunsets off the back. The access to the property allows the home to be set on the north part of the property and would still allow this land to be used for whatever purpose the new owner wished. There are additional acres of old pasture and unimproved land that could be turned to row crop production, additional future timberland, or wildlife habitat. The current owners have just established a new crop field on the south end of the land. The gives another food source to pull and hold deer, as well as additional income potential. This improvement also added great access to the south end which completely changes and improves how this farm can be hunted. Big blocks of timber lay well within deer travel distances in all directions from this property. It is extremely hard to find properties that have this much to offer. Call today for a tour.
