If you've been searching for a Southern Illinois property that truly has it all-hunting, recreation, trail access, and natural beauty-this 41 ± acre tract checks every box. Perfectly situated in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest, this land offers a rare combination of seclusion, accessibility, and proximity to some of the most iconic destinations in the region. Location & Surroundings The property is surrounded on multiple sides by the Shawnee National Forest and directly borders the Garden of the Gods Wilderness Area, famous for its breathtaking rock formations and panoramic views. It also sits adjacent to the Hitching Post Trailhead, providing immediate access to miles upon miles of equestrian and hiking trails. Whether you enjoy horseback riding, hiking, or simply exploring, this location serves as a gateway to endless outdoor adventure. Hunting & Wildlife This acreage is set up as a hunter's dream. The area is well-known for producing quality whitetail deer and abundant wild turkey populations. The recent select timber harvest not only improved the overall habitat but also created openings ideal for food plots, new travel corridors, and improved access trails across the property. Mix of hardwood timber, regenerating timber, and thick cover offer a healthy mix of habitat that attracts and holds game throughout the year. Unlike many remote tracts, this property benefits from paved road frontage, making year-round access easy and convenient. The internal trail system-enhanced by the recent timber harvest-allows you to navigate the land with ATV, UTV, or horseback. Several openings and level areas present potential cabin or campsite locations for those looking to build a weekend getaway or hunting camp. Whether you're a serious hunter looking for a proven tract, a horse enthusiast eager for direct trail access, or someone who dreams of owning a private retreat near one of Illinois' most scenic natural wonders, this property is an ideal fit. Opportunities to own acreage directly bordering both the Shawnee and Garden of the Gods-rarely come to market.
