Properties near the Spoon River in Fulton County means opportunity for amazing deer and turkey hunting. This property has approximately 42 tillable acres of which 4 acres are currently being mowed for alfalfa hay, the remaining 38 acres are in a corn – bean rotation which adds tremendous food diversity for this property. The current agriculture agreement is a cost-share agreement and the current tenant will work with a buyer on a future lease agreement. Farming rights will be available for 2026 farming season. There is easement access along the west side to access the Alfalfa field which gives better access for hunting as well. There are two homesites on this property, one is vacant and ready for a cabin, camper, or home. Both sites have electricity, well water, and septic previously installed. The second location has a house in place but will not be accessible to potential buyers for showings, as the seller feels it is not habitable, and that it will need to be torn down. House will be bought (As-IS) or removed. Rarely do I come across a property that hits all these check marks. Good balance of hardwoods timber, and agricultural use. This is a great looking property.
