Sitting along Stillman Creek, this versatile 55-acre hunting property in Ogle County, Illinois, combines the right habitat with a hard-to-beat location. The farm is positioned between fertile agricultural ground and sits roughly a half mile west of the Rock River, placing it in an area well known for holding deer, turkey, and waterfowl throughout the year. Access is gained off Kishwaukee Road, where a lane leads you into the property. As you come in, stands of willows line the drive and help provide privacy and screening from the road. Once on the farm, it feels secluded and quiet, offering the kind of setting hunters look for when trying to keep pressure low and deer comfortable. Along the north edge of the farm ground and near the creek sits a small, shallow water feature that adds both habitat value and visual appeal. This area includes nearly two acres of ground that would be an ideal location to plant standing corn for a food plot. The edge of the water feature also provides additional space that could be planted in millet or other cover, creating a strong food and water combination that pulls deer and waterfowl alike. The timber and trail system to the east shows heavy deer sign and provides excellent cover and travel routes. Multiple shallow water features are scattered throughout the timber, offering natural water sources that help hold wildlife on the property year-round. These features also create natural pinch points and setup locations that can be hunted effectively with the right wind. Continuing east, you come to approximately 8.5 acres of open ground tucked into a bend of the creek and timber. This area is well-suited for additional habitat work, prairie grasses, or expanded food plots. Its location creates a natural nook where deer feel comfortable staging before entering larger openings or traveling the creek corridor. A simple trail system would greatly improve access throughout the farm and lead to a 2.75-acre campsite located on a ridge overlooking the property. This elevated spot offers a great place for camping, a shed, or a seasonal setup during hunting season. This property is loaded with potential and offers opportunities for whitetail deer, turkey, and duck hunting, along with canoeing and recreational use along Stillman Creek. Tracts with this level of diversity, water features, and location do not become available often in Ogle County. This is a property that rewards vision and management and is ready for someone to make it their own.
