The Caron Farm consists of approximately 79 acres of gorgeous rolling hills in southern Brown County, Illinois. Bordering the scenic Illinois River bottom, this easy-to-access property offers incredible recreational opportunities, as well as agricultural pursuits in addition to outstanding rural homesite potential. Roughly 40% of this property currently lays in open hay ground, with the balance in timbered draws and woodlots, in addition to a roughly 1.25-acre pond. Areas of the farm have been improved with contour terraces as well as drainage basins leading down to the pond. For hunting purposes, the three-sided access (east, south, and west) combined with existing open areas for multiple food plots makes for an awesome hunting property in a world-class hunting area in western Illinois.
A couple older farmhouses and a barn sit on the eastern side of the farm, with utilities including CIPS electricity, natural gas, and ABS water.
