85 Acre Coles County, IL

This 85-acre property just outside Charleston in Coles County, Illinois, is the kind of place outdoorsmen spend years looking for. With a quarter mile of frontage on the Embarras River, mature hardwood timber, a stocked pond, and productive tillable bottom ground, it offers a rare blend of recreation, wildlife habitat, and income potential. The property is currently made up of two separate tracts but will be sold together as one.

The heart of the property is 67 acres of hardwood timber, providing excellent cover, travel corridors, and natural food sources for wildlife. The Embarras River frontage adds a dependable water source and a natural funnel for deer movement, and gives you a place to fish, kayak, or simply enjoy the quiet. Coles County has a strong reputation for quality whitetails, and this tract is set up well for deer hunting, with timber edges, bottom ground, and water all in one place. Turkeys use the property heavily too, with plenty of roosting timber along the Embarras and open ground for strutting and feeding.

Getting around is easy. A rock driveway leads down into the bottom ground, and well-maintained trails wind through the timber, giving you quiet access to stand locations and every corner of the property. A 0.82-acre pond stocked with fish adds another layer of recreation, whether that's an evening of fishing after a day in the woods or a spot for the kids to cast a line.

The 18 acres of tillable bottom ground can provide annual income through a farm lease, or it can be converted to food plots to hold and grow even more wildlife on the property. It's a flexible setup that lets a new owner decide how to balance income and hunting.

Whether you're looking for a hunting retreat, a recreational getaway, or a long-term land investment, this Charleston-area tract has it all: river frontage, a stocked pond, hardwood timber, tillable acres, and outstanding deer and turkey hunting. Properties with this combination of features don't come along often.
