Welcome to the perfect 40-acre tract you've been waiting for in Jo Daviess County. Located just 5 minutes from Galena Illinois, this property is a must see. The recreational opportunities this property holds are second to none. The landscape features gently rolling topography and a mix of open acreage, hardwood timber, and thick underbrush. The deer and turkey population in this area is incredible and this property shows it with the owner having a collection of great trail camera photos and harvest history. The diversity of the habitat contributes heavily to this property being a major attraction to local wildlife. Approximately 6.8 acres on the east side of the property were previously enrolled in CRP, providing fantastic cover and native grasses. This acreage could have the opportunity to be re-enrolled in CRP pending county approval or could be converted to tillable production or even a blank slate for food plot and habitat design. The timber on the property consists of predominately hardwood trees. The timber has been managed correctly, being previously enrolled in the forestry management program through the IDNR. This consisted of a management plan that included harvesting mature trees while also replanting additional hardwoods. There will be a great opportunity for the future owner to capitalize on the hardwood value present on the property. Access to the property is provided off Route 20 on the south, with the driveway and buildings located in the south-central portion of the property. This provides a great base camp, while also being minimally intrusive. An excellent trail system is present on the property, allowing ease of access to stand locations. There are numerous tree stands already present on the property and included with the sale. Also included is an elevated blind on the east side, overlooking an established clover plot. This is one of the best locations on the property, providing a great vantage point. In addition to the already established stands and blinds, the next owner will have plenty of great options to choose from for other stand locations. The property features rolling topography, which creates several natural travel corridors and pinch points that would make for great stand locations. In addition to the recreational potential, this property also features a turn-key "base camp". This includes a 10' x 20' living quarters, 25' x 30' storage shed, and (2) 10' x 10' storage sheds. The living quarters is finished and features rustic cabin décor on the inside, complete with electricity, insulation, and heat. This creates a perfect spot to unwind after a day of hunting without having to incur additional costs of travel and hotels. Situated next to the living quarters are (2) 10' x 10' storage sheds that also have electricity. Additionally, there's also a 25' x 30' storage shed big enough to store mowers and equipment needed for upkeep on the property. This building also has 200-amp electric service present. An RV hookup is also available along the driveway, should the future owner want to bring their RV to the property for the weekend or seasonally. Other notable items include a plat of survey that is available for review. This survey, which coincides with county records, shows the property having 40.1 total acres. This allows the property to be buildable for a single-family residence if desired and also allows the future owner to be eligible for landowner tags from the IDNR. Lastly, the location of this property is fantastic, being 5 minutes to Galena, Illinois and the Galena Territories, 30 minut
