Additional acreage is enrolled in CRP, generating an annual income of approximately $1,200. The CRP acreage also contributes to dense bedding cover.

Shoal Creek runs by the tract and provides consistent water access for wildlife. In addition, a pond is located on the property and adds another water source. An off-grid hunting cabin is located on the property and will remain furnished. The cabin features a metal roof, updated flooring, and a functional layout designed for extended stays. Inside, there is a combined kitchen and living area, a wood-burning stove for heat, and a toilet and shower. A loft area provides sleeping space. Electricity is supplied by generator, and propane used for additional heating or cooking options. The cabin is positioned to support hunting use while maintaining privacy and functionality. The property is accessed by a gated easement off Panama Avenue, providing a secluded setting while still allowing reliable year-round access. The surrounding area is primarily agricultural and recreational land, contributing to the deer and turkey populations. This property is located in a prime area of Bond County with convenient access to Interstate 55 and is roughly 30 miles from the Metro East area.
