9669 Thunderhead Rd, Illinois City, IL 61259

Surrounded by miles of mature hardwood timber, this rolling tract features deep ravines, rock bottom creek beds, and excellent home building sites or camp sites. Electricity available on the lot line, and this farm includes deeded access at both the north and south ends. This area has abundant deer and turkey populations, and offers good hunting. Adjacent is a large tract of fantastic habitat owned and managed by the Rock Island County Forest Preserve District. You can enjoy year-round recreation in this area, as the property is located just 1 mile west of Lake George; a 167-acre public lake with improved campsites and offering great fishing, kayaking and hiking opportunities. This land was recently timbered as part of a forest management plan and has had hundreds of young hardwoods planted, following the cut. Logging roads were created throughout the property which can now be maintained as great access trails for hunting, hiking, and habitat management. This farm is covered with tops, making incredible ground-level cover for bedding deer and nesting turkeys. And, each year as the regrowth gets thicker, the hunting on this farm will only get better and better. Sometimes a farm looks messy, before it becomes a masterpiece and this is one of those times. But, don't overlook this great property and all that it has to offer! Located 18 miles from Quad Cities International Airport, and in Rockridge Community School District.
