There is a long driveway leading to the center of the property where the 50 x 30 clubhouse and other buildings are located. The clubhouse has a relaxing lounge with a beautiful fireplace, a bar, a kitchen, and restrooms. There are approximately 160 acres of tillable acreage, 60 of which are planted in cover strips for upland birds and other wildlife. The first time I was out viewing the property, I even saw three tom turkeys weaving in and out of the cover strips. The other 100 acres is currently being row-crop farmed. This perfect mix of habitat and food enhances the wildlife and the potential of the hunt club while providing additional income as well. Killbuck Creek borders the east side of this property, so there is never any shortage of water for the wildlife, not to mention it serves as a natural barrier for the property. Don't think that upland birds and turkeys are all that inhabit this property though. The creek serves as an excellent funnel for deer hunting too. Another thing you must know about the property is that the dove hunting is phenomenal. The wooded acreage combined with the topography changes provide for incredible views and practicality for shooting. Due to elevation changes, there are numerous sporting clay ranges, some of which are at the top of a scenic bluff overlooking the bottoms on the property. The club can accommodate 250 members/shooters, which provides for friendly competition while skeet shooting and great comradery while hunting. If you don't believe me, you'll have to see one of the major shoots that are often hosted on the property. This property has been the host of shoots such as State of Illinois Sporting Clays Championships, Zone Shoots, and Boy Scouts of American/Blackhawk Council shoots. The property yields approximately - in annual income and has great potential for an even stronger return depending on how you choose to run the operation. Three acres of the property are enrolled in CSP which also provide for additional income. Located on the property is a 10,000-Bushel grain bin that has been converted to a quail pen.

With some updating and repairs, the house could be a primary residence, a rental house, or utilized as part of the hunt club operation.
