Own your own slice of Illinois Heartland with this beautiful 5 acre parcel! Located between Aledo and Viola, roughly a quarter mile off HWY 17 on a quiet but well maintained country road, you'll have the best of both worlds that offer level, sloping, wooded, creek beds and open pasture ground. The timber boasts large oak, walnut and red elm trees as well as areas of thick brush and great deer cover in a big buck county! If you're chasing legendary trophy whitetails of Mercer County, here's your chance. You'll also hear turkey and pheasant in the near distance. If camping is your preference, there are two nooks ready for improved campsites - one being down by the creek that flows through the land, also a great water source for all kinds of wildlife. For mushroom hunters, the hills have produced an abundance of morel, puffball and pheasant back mushrooms - additional photos available! This property already has electricity ready for you to take over! So much potential for a new home site or recreational property that you've been dreaming of. Truly a fun property that seems untouched by time.
