SELLING ABSOLUTE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER WITH NO RESERVE!
Over 1 mile of Sangamon River frontage with Tract 2 and Tract 3 offering land on both sides of the river. This is your chance to own prime recreational and hunting property just outside the historic town of Beardstown, Illinois. From harvesting whitetails and other wildlife, to camping, boating, fishing, and hiking, this 225 +/- acre property—offered in three tracts—has it all. This land hasn’t been on the market in over 50 years!
Tract 1 – 30 +/- acres
Tract 1 is located at the southern end of the property and is the closest access point to the Beardstown Marina. With over 400 yards of river frontage, this tract offers fishing, camping, and a variety of hunting opportunities. Easy to navigate, with slight elevation changes, this tract includes several prime stand locations for hunting the whitetails that frequent this river bottom.
Tract 2 – 160 +/- acres
Tract 2 is the heart of the property, featuring over 600 yards of river frontage. This stretch of the Sangamon River offers excellent catfishing. Remnants of old slough areas, originally set up for duck hunting, can still be found here. Primarily timberland with pockets of old sloughs, the open areas of this tract create predictable paths that the deer move through, making it a prime parcel for hunting whitetail deer. The Sangamon River runs through the northwestern edge of this tract, leaving a portion of the land on the west side of the river. This tract offers up a variety of recreational activities, as well as spring turkey hunting, summer catfishing, and, of course, those river bottom whitetails!
Tract 3 – 35.51 +/- acres
Tract 3 is located at the northern end of the property. Split by the Sangamon River, this tract offers a combined total of over 800 yards of river frontage. There is plenty of bank space for enjoying the excellent catfishing the Sangamon River offers. Whether you choose to hunt the north or south side of the river, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue those river bottom whitetails that travel through this tract.
