Description
Escape to the heart of prime trophy deer hunting territory with this exceptional hunting land located in Mercer County, Illinois. This farm boasts rolling topography with a picturesque small creek meandering through the middle, creating the perfect natural funnel for traveling bucks and enhancing the property’s allure. Deer, turkeys and other wildlife are abundant. With 30.5 acres of lush grass, alfalfa, and clover hay fields already in place, and nearly 40 acres on the east side of the creek that could be cleared and cultivated, this property presents both recreational and agricultural opportunities, making it a well-rounded investment. The 980 square foot home, was built in 2009, with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. A 14’X20' back deck overlooks a wonderful view of the valley. This home is a great size for a comfortable retreat for hunters, or could be a full-time residence . While the interior may need a touch of work, envision the potential of turning it into an outstanding hunting lodge with the right updates and finishes to suite your style and taste. Full unfinished w/o basement. 36’X54' pole building with electricity and a gravel floor (2012) provides ample storage for your equipment, UTVs, vehicles, and gear. The deep well, installed in 2010, ensures a reliable water source for the property. This is the kind of property that every Midwest hunter dreams of—a combination of natural beauty, abundant wildlife, potential income from agriculture, and living quarters.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is has gone down hill for many many years. There first go to is suspending students instead of solutions there rather children miss countless days of no learning, Teaching children that bad behavior gets you more than good behavior. Rather than making a better learning environment they just have the school running all kinds of crazy with fights/videos/drugs you name it. If you don’t have money and haven’t grown up in this school then don’t plan on your kid ever getting todo sports or anything as it’s money and very click oriented I would never recommend this school for anyone. They need to put more effort into kids that have all different types of learning disabilities and you won’t get that here unfortunately study’s have shown that having programs in place to help children and redirect is better. Yet this school rather keep its “perfect kids” per say than to admit there are children struggling and the testing shows.Parent Review1y ago - Sherrard Jr High School
