About This Home

Located in the heart of the Mississippi River bluff system in Rock Island County, this 194.09± acre farm offers a rare combination of top-end whitetail hunting habitat and functional ag ground. This property is built for consistently holding and hunting mature deer. The layout is ideal with river-bottom influence, diverse terrain, and a natural transition from low ground to bluff top creating predictable movement patterns. The timbered valleys and draws provide security cover, while the surrounding ag and river corridor support strong deer density. A standout feature is the long, U-shaped field positioned on top of the bluff, offering a strategic advantage for staging and late-season feeding. Down below, additional tillable acreage sits closer to the river bottoms - a proven setup to pull bucks out of thick cover and into daylight shooting opportunities. With approximately 42 acres of tillable ground (21.7% of the farm), there is ample opportunity for income, food plot expansion, or strategic habitat improvements. The remainder of the property is made up of timber, draws, and natural bedding cover - exactly what serious hunters look for in this region. Access is provided via Loud Thunder Road, with extensive maintained internal trails allowing navigation throughout the farm. The topography ranges from level to rolling bluff terrain, creating natural funnels, pinch points, and stand locations that are difficult to replicate. If you're looking for a proven hunting farm in a highly sought-after Mississippi River corridor, this property checks the boxes - diversity, layout, and the ability to hunt it effectively in multiple wind directions.
