Property description

  • 19 Tillable Acres
  • 8.5 Acres Tree Program paying additional $2550/Annually
  • Great Hunting along Spoon River
  • Additional CRP Possibilities
  • 3 Miles to Oak Run

Just minutes from the desirable Oak Run subdivision, this stunning 33-acre tract in Dahinda, Illinois offers the perfect blend of income, recreation, and natural beauty. With 19 acres of productive tillable ground and 8.5 acres enrolled in CRP, this property generates strong annual income while providing excellent habitat for wildlife.

Located in an area renowned for exceptional deer and turkey hunting, the farm is an ideal setup for any avid outdoorsman. In addition to the hunting, the property offers direct access to the Spoon River, known for its peaceful setting and fishing opportunities. There’s also significant potential to develop wetlands, creating even more value through waterfowl hunting and conservation possibilities.

Along the Spoon River sits 8.5 acres of planted hardwoods enrolled in CRP paying $2550/annually. This is not a permanent program. It expires in 2036 when you are free to do what you want with that ground…including the harvesting of those trees. They are full of walnut trees and promise to be worth a pile of money at that time!

Whether you’re seeking a great investment, a weekend getaway, or a place to build a future home or cabin, this diverse and scenic farm truly has it all. Income, beauty, and year-round recreation—a rare find in this highly sought-after area.
