Description
This mixed-use farm is located northwest of Rockford along Telegraph Road in Winnebago County, Illinois and offers a strong combination of production ground, timber, and recreational opportunity. The property features approximately 250 feet of road frontage, providing easy, practical access for farming, managing, or enjoying the land without complication. Approximately 38+/- acres are in tillable production and are divided into multiple sections by timber and natural features. This layout adds character to the farm while creating edge and transition areas that wildlife naturally use. The tillable acres provide built-in income through an established 2026 farm rent, offering immediate return while still leaving flexibility to shift portions of the farm toward recreation if desired. The southwest tillable field, in particular, offers strong potential for food plots or could be left in cover to further enhance hunting opportunities. Roughly 7 acres of timber and valley ground sit near the center of the property and serve as the recreational core. This area provides natural cover, elevation change, and a level of seclusion that is hard to find in this part of the county. Whether the goal is bow hunting whitetails, chasing spring gobblers, target shooting, or weekend camping, this portion of the farm offers flexibility and multiple setup options throughout the season. The property is located near several public land preserves and the Pecatonica River, adding to the recreational appeal of the surrounding area. While these features do not directly border the farm, they contribute to the outdoor lifestyle this part of Winnebago County is known for. Convenient access to US Route 20 and Interstate 90 makes it easy to reach Rockford and surrounding markets while still enjoying a rural setting once on the property. This is a farm that fits a wide range of buyers, from the recreational landowner to the investor looking for income with upside. Tracts of this size, diversity, and location do not come up often in Winnebago County. The property can be purchased on its own or in combination with the adjoining 68 acres, offering the opportunity to expand acreage, increase income, and create a larger recreational or investment farm. Subject to 2026 farm lease.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school in 2012-2013 for my first two years of high school. Despite the small class size, nice building, and intelligent teachers. I was miserable. They like to "judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree and tell it that it is stupid when it falls time and time again". I was that fish and I was not able to fit into the cookie cutter student ideals they created. They offer a program called Running start through the local community college for a student to attend college full time during their Junior and/or Senior year. I was signed up for this program and qualified for everything. Then with one week of school left we were informed that I would be taken out of the program if I didn't raise my math grade. I studied harder than I ever had and basically taught myself an entire semester's worth of info because the way the teacher taught did not fit my learning style. I got an A on the final and raised my grade but they still took me out of the program. I withdrew from the school and now attend the college on my own as a homeschool student and I am thriving. this school needs to figure out a way to allow students who are different still succeed and not be miserable.Student Review11y ago - Pecatonica Community Middle School
