716 Acres | Ozark, Illinois A Once-in-a-Lifetime Legacy Property Opportunities of this caliber are exceptionally rare. This agent-owned 716 acre Ozark retreat combines breathtaking natural beauty, elite recreational hunting, and meaningful income-producing assets—creating a truly unforgettable legacy property. A private one-third-mile drive through a secure gated entrance leads to a newly constructed two-story 4,500 sq. ft. lodge designed for comfort and entertainment. The lodge includes 8 bedrooms (sleeping up to 14), 3 bathrooms, a bar and entertainment room, hunting/recreation space, walk-in deer cooler, and a 35’ x 35’ garage. Two indoor wood-burning fireplaces and a 1,300 sq. ft. covered patio with outdoor fireplace overlook a newly built 2-acre lake. Despite the secluded setting, the property offers city water, strong internet, and reliable cell service. The farm features 18+ miles of established trails, all 10+ feet wide, providing excellent access by ATV, truck, horseback, or hiking. The landscape is incredibly diverse, including rock ledges, natural caverns, rolling timber, and a historic abandoned railroad trestle with a fully encased concrete tunnel, creating a setting that feels worlds away from everyday life. Wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities are exceptional. The property includes 25+ acres of centrally located food plots planted in turnips, oats, clover, radishes, and beets, designed to hold deer in the heart of the farm. A proven history of whitetail and turkey management dating back to the 1980s supports a thriving wildlife population. Approximately 285 acres of pine thickets generate about $16,000 annually through 2030, providing both reliable income and excellent deer bedding. Multiple watering holes support wildlife year-round, oak ridges, saddles, and rock-bottom creeks create ideal natural travel corridors. With its size and layout, the farm hunts extremely large and comfortably supports multiple hunters with interior access that avoids bedding areas. A recent timber appraisal confirms substantial timber value, offering potential for future return on investment. The entire property has been professionally surveyed. Ownership confidence is further strengthened by a comprehensive whitetail management plan and herd survey completed by Superior Whitetail Habitat, which will transfer to the new owner. The farm supports 100+ deer year-round, producing mature bucks that often live and age on the property. Owners have maintained large sanctuary areas with minimal hunting pressure over the past 20 years. The possibilities are endless—whether as a private family estate, luxury hunting retreat, outfitting operation, winery, Airbnb, or wedding and event venue. Adding to its exclusivity, the property borders neighbors totaling 2,500+ acres enrolled in Quality Deer Management. Natural boundaries include Sugar Creek and the Tunnel Hill State Trail to the west, Caney Creek to the south, and Highway 45 to the east, creating a secluded setting with minimal outside pressure. The farm includes 5 Muddy box blinds, 40+ ladder stands, 60+ trail cameras, a full home security system, and all furniture and appliances, making it a truly turnkey offering. Prime Location Vienna: ~15 minutes Paducah: ~45 minutes Lake Egypt: ~15 minutes Minutes from Southern Illinois Wine Trail Borders the historic Tunnel Hill State Trail (60+ miles) Near Shawnee National Forest There is simply too much history, detail, and natural beauty to capture in words alone.
