Located just south of Maquon, this 80± acre tract offers a rare combination of dependable farm income, quality wildlife habitat, and excellent recreational potential. The property includes approximately 50 acres in row crop production and 9.52 acres enrolled in CRP, generating annual income of approximately $12,694 with additional upside potential. At the center of the farm, Flea Creek winds through the property before joining nearby Littlers Creek, creating excellent habitat diversity alongside more than 20 acres of timber, native cover, and strategically positioned CRP acreage. The combination of food sources, bedding cover, and natural travel corridors creates strong habitat for whitetail deer and other wildlife. Two secluded CRP fields south of the creek provide outstanding cover and offer excellent opportunities for future food plots, stand locations, or tower blinds. The terrain transitions from gently rolling farmland in the north to more rugged topography south of the creek, adding visual appeal, habitat diversity, and numerous recreational opportunities. Several attractive locations would also make excellent future cabin or weekend retreat sites overlooking the surrounding countryside. Located in a well-regarded area of Knox County known for quality whitetail hunting, this property offers an increasingly hard-to-find combination of annual income, recreational appeal, wildlife habitat, and long-term investment potential.
