Imagine starting your mornings with a hot cup of coffee while watching deer and wild turkey roam through your backyard! Wildlife isn't just an occasional sight here, it's part of everyday life! This secluded 3-bedroom, 2-bath earth-bermed home sits on 16.42 beautiful acres where nature takes center stage. Deer and turkey are daily visitors, often wandering right through the yard, creating a setting hunters and nature lovers dream of. Whether you're watching wildlife from home or heading out for a hunt, the experience is right outside your door. A deer shooting house features a camp stove for cooking a hot breakfast or lunch and enjoying the comforts of an all-day hunt. The property also offers a stocked pond approximately 25 feet deep in the center and raised garden beds. A detached 2-car garage, 30x60 pole barn with electricity and a wood stove, and 40x40 climate-controlled shop with electricity and central air provide plenty of space for equipment, hobbies, and projects. Both 30-amp and 50-amp hookups accommodate an RV, motorhome, or camper. The roof and HVAC have been replaced within the last five years. Located just 4 miles from I-57, about 10 minutes from two Rend Lake boat ramps, and 15 minutes from Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area, this private homestead combines abundant wildlife, recreation, and convenience.
