000 Bay City Rd Rarely does a property of this scale and diversity become available in Southern Illinois. This 754± acre tract in Pope County is a true sportsman's paradise, featuring over a mile of coveted Ohio River frontage and a layout ideally suited for premier waterfowl, deer, and turkey hunting. This portion of the Ohio River serves as a waterfowl refuge during the hunting season, creating exceptional hunting potential as the refuge is just off the banks of this property. Approximately 157 acres of fertile bottomland ag fields offer outstanding opportunity to further enhance the property into a managed waterfowl destination. Portions of these fields could be levied and strategically flooded to create controlled impoundments, dramatically expanding the already strong duck and goose hunting. Two natural sloughs on the south end of the property provide additional waterfowl habitat and hunting setups, complementing the river frontage and low-lying areas. The balance of the property features classic Southern Illinois whitetail and turkey habitat. Rolling terrain with hardwood ridges, deep draws, and secluded bottoms creates excellent deer travel corridors and natural pinch points. Multiple fields throughout the farm provide ideal locations for establishing food plots and thick field bedding cover, other bedding areas in the timber help hold wildlife year-round. The diverse habitat mix supports a strong resident population and offers the ability to manage for mature whitetails. Additional recreational opportunities include multiple ponds for fishing, areas of mast producing hardwood timber, and excellent internal access potential. A small 2-bedroom cabin situated on a quiet dead-end road provides a comfortable hunting basecamp with privacy and convenience. With its rare combination of Ohio River frontage, waterfowl development potential, productive bottomland, and proven big game habitat, this 754± acre Pope County property represents a unique opportunity to own and develop a premier hunting and recreational investment.
