    What's special

    This 518.48A± acre island tract along the Mississippi River in Alexander County, Illinois presents a rare opportunity to own part of a large river island with strong hunting potential and established income streams. Properties of this size and location along one of the nation's most iconic river systems seldom become available, making this a unique investment for outdoor enthusiasts and land investors alike. The island features approximately 4,600 feet of frontage along the Mississippi River and an additional 9,600 feet of river channel frontage, creating exceptional water access and diverse wildlife habitat. The landscape is primarily timbered with scattered open areas, along with oxbows and sloughs that enhance waterfowl habitat and seasonal wildlife activity. Approximately 23A± acres are currently in tillable production, generating about $4,700 annually in income. In addition to the farming revenue, the current owner leases the property for hunting, producing $10,000 annually for waterfowl hunting and $10,000 annually for deer and turkey hunting, providing immediate return potential. The island offers excellent opportunities for waterfowl, deer, and turkey hunting. Dense bedding and security cover throughout the timber help hold wildlife, while the surrounding river corridors and wetland features support consistent waterfowl activity. On the mainland side, a major rut travel corridor enhances the property's whitetail potential and adds to its overall huntability. Access is provided by a 30-foot easement leading to the best crossing location onto the island, allowing entry while maintaining the privacy and seclusion that island properties are known for. For buyers seeking a unique recreational property with income potential, strong hunting opportunities, and a one-of-a-kind setting along the Mississippi River, this Alexander County island tract offers an exceptional ownership opportunity.
