Description
Located just south of Hanover in southern Jo Daviess County, this exceptional property is surrounded by premier whitetail habitat. The perfect mix of large blocks of timber and state ground plus agriculture along the bottoms of the Apple River make it extremely diverse. More than just a hunting property, this land offers a range of possibilities. The gained access off Crazy Hollow Road is easy yet private with a dense timber screening on all sides. A secure double-gated entrance leads into the high side of the property, where a versatile open field awaits. Currently, six acres are in hay production, shielded from the road by mature timber-an already-secluded setting that will be further enhanced by planned tree plantings in 2025. There was extensive timber stand improvement completed last year with the focus of advancing the habitat that will only continue to enhance the landscape. This area offers endless potential-whether for continued agricultural use, expanded food sources, or the perfect site for a future cabin or home. This portion of the property also presents a former pond/wetland area that could be restored, creating a stunning focal point surrounded by a tall stand of pines along the western edge. To the west of the pond site, an established food plot transitions into a scenic lane that winds through rolling timber and opens into early successional growth and additional food plots. Thoughtfully designed for hunting and habitat, the property provides multiple access points, including a strategic entrance from the road along the lower portion-allowing hunters to move in quietly with the wind in their favor. With gradual contours and a mix of timber, open ground, and river access, this land is ideal for recreation, hunting, or future development. Plus, an opportunity exists to expand by pairing it with the adjacent 42 acres to the south. Not only does the Apple River add to the seclusion acting as the southern boundary, but it also allows for tubing, kayaking, and fishing for bass, crappie, and sunfish. This tributary of the Mississippi traverses some of the most beautiful topography in the state originating in southern Wisconsin. This private yet well-connected property is just a short drive from Galena and Savanna-making it an incredible opportunity for those seeking land with diverse potential.
