Timber, Wildlife, and Country Living — All in One Auction.

Escape to a property designed for those who live and breathe the outdoors. Nestled just west of the Harry “Babe” Woodard State Nature Preserve and bordered by the Little Vermilion River, this one-of-a-kind offering brings together premium hunting ground, river recreation, and comfortable country living. Selling by online timed auction on December 3, 2025, the property is available in two individual tracts.

Tract I – 73.01± Acres of Premier Timber & Wildlife Habitat

Step into a mature hardwood sanctuary that’s been professionally managed for long-term timber health and selective harvest income. Rolling terrain, towering timber, and a natural wildlife corridor create exceptional habitat for trophy whitetail deer and wild turkeys. With Little Vermilion River frontage, this tract offers a blend of high-quality hunting, beautiful scenery, and valuable future timber growth—an ideal setup for any serious outdoorsman.

Tract II – 8.59± Acres with Country Home, Hunting Lodge & Storage Building

This charming country homesite offers comfort, upgrades, and immediate access to the outdoors. The two-story home features updated HVAC, water system, and kitchen amenities, plus a large family room with a high-efficiency fireplace insert—perfect for warming up after a winter hunt. The home includes three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, formal dining, and a spacious bonus room off the primary suite, along with an attached two-car garage.

The nearby hunting lodge is purpose-built for long weekends and hunting seasons. It includes living quarters, a kitchenette, a full bath with a walk-in shower, heating and cooling, and a shop area that doubles as a fully functional game-processing room—complete with chiller. The storage shed provides ample room for gear, ATVs, and equipment.

Recreation & Lifestyle

The property invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re hiking shaded timber trails, canoeing the river, watching wildlife, or relaxing around an evening fire, this is a place designed for time well spent outdoors. It’s a private escape built for memories—yet close enough to town for convenience.
