Outstanding 61 +/- acre recreational property in Winnebago County, Illinois, offering an exceptional combination of whitetail habitat, mature hardwood timber, and turnkey hunting improvements. Approximately 35 acres of former agricultural ground have naturally regenerated into dense early-successional habitat, providing outstanding bedding cover, natural browse, and security for whitetails. The remaining acreage consists primarily of mature oak hardwoods, offering valuable mast production and diverse habitat transitions. Two streams, rolling terrain, and an established trail system enhance the hunting opportunities. Improvements include a 30'×60' heated barn/shop with bathroom and carport, 12'×26' cabin with heat and A/C, elevated hunting blind, and secluded camping area. An extensive collection of equipment, including a mower, ATV, golf cart, and additional tools, is included. Private gated entrance, minutes from Rockford. 2025 taxes: $2,704. Recreational property not approved for single-family residential construction.
