Clear streams run through the valleys, hardwood stands provide outstanding habitat, and the mixed agriculture of the fields allow pasture or tillable use. Neatly fit between North Morley Road, West Morley Road, and N. Elizabeth Scales Mound Road, this property has three hardtop access points, provides excellent trails to each of the major areas. A serviceable farmstead home is available as a hunting cabin or the secluded building site could be the basis for your dream lodge. A perfect get-away from the bustle of life, a haven for all species of wildlife, and a long-term investment in the northwestern corner of Illinois, this is the type of property that "checks all the boxes" for those seeking a lifestyle of rural charm and outdoor living. Once a family homestead and cattle farm, this property still retains serviceable well and home sites, as well as providing several other exceptionally well-located building sites on the property. Long access driveways assure the privacy and opportunities valued for a personal refuge from the world. The open pastures and characteristically picturesque JoDaviess County terrain assure you will swell with pride when you take in the views from any part of this property.
