This Winnebago County farm is more than just a row crop operation; it is a true mixed-use property with both income and long-term potential. With access off Trask Bridge and Judd Road, the land offers multiple entrances, making it easy to work and navigate. On the western side, a dedicated farm entrance by the grain bin and an overhead powerline provide established infrastructure, making it a perfect spot to develop a road system or a building site. A proposed lane could wind through the property up to the top of the ridge, offering beautiful views in every direction, possible exposed walkouts, and excellent drainage. The land features a nice, gradual topography and a mix of quality farm ground, CRP, and timber, giving it both functional farming value and recreational appeal. There are 49 acres of quality tillable ground that are currently open tenancy for 2026, generating immediate income, plus 18.6 acres of CRP that provide additional revenue. Beyond the income, the property offers a potential home site in the popular Pecatonica School District. The surrounding area is a mix of country homes, timber, and productive farmland, giving a private, peaceful feel while still being close to everyday conveniences. The farm also offers easy access to Route 70, Route 75, and US 20, making travel to nearby cities quick and convenient. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the Pecatonica River and multiple forest preserves, perfect for hunting, hiking, or just enjoying the outdoors. This farm combines solid income with development potential, quality soil, and recreational opportunities, making it a rare find in Winnebago County for anyone looking to invest in land, build a home, or enjoy country life with multiple options for farming, building, and recreation.
