North Creek Preserve- 1375 ACRES

Property Description:

NORTH CREEK PRESERVE-  1375 ACRES

North Creek Preserve is truly a luxurious recreational dream.  Rolling hills, manicured landscapes, productive tillable, beautiful lakes, and creek bottoms make this ranch one of the most scenic in Illinois.  The interior road system is unmatched; with over 6 1/2 miles of shaped white rock roads. There are several miles of clear Illinois streams that run through the property.  Many of those stream banks have been shaped for maximum aesthetic appeal. Hundreds of hardwoods have been planted along creek banks and road sides. An additional 400+ fruit trees, over 100 acres of switch grass and native grasses, endless miles of clover lined timber edges, and 100+ acres of quality foodplots create an excellent wildlife habitat.

North Creek has three quality homes/lodges and four newer outbuildings buildings that boast an abundance amount of storage.  This ranch could not be in a better location to capitalize on the huge whitetails Central Illinois has to offer. In conjunction with selective whitetail practices and large contiguous acres, this property is one of the best hunting farms in the country.  There are also two stocked lakes on the property and a 600 acre private lake (Oak Run) less than 5 minutes away.  When you purchase this ranch you will also receive a membership to Oak Run.  Oak Run offers some of the best fishing and recreational boating in Illinois.

Besides being an excellent whitetail and fishing ranch; this property has over 60 acres of waterfowl wetlands.  There are four cells that the water level can be controlled separately.  All cells can be drained and planted. The wetlands has electricity run to it so aerators can keep open water all winter along.  The wetland attracts 1000's of ducks and geese every year. Overlooking the wetlands is a structure called the "duck house."  This is a brand new state-of-the-art waterfowl viewing area.  There is no better way to spend a winter afternoon than to sit in the "duck house" watching the ducks and geese flock into the wetlands for an afternoon snack.  

Access to the ranch from other parts of the country is painless.  There is a international commercial airport in Peoria, IL, which is approx 40 min drive to the ranch.  There is also a private airport in Galesburg, IL (only minutes from the property), which will accomodate jets.  

You have to see this ranch to believe it; not a dollar was spared in making this one of the nicest properties in the Midwest.  Where else is there so many hunting, fishing, and recreational opportunities with the top notch living that these homes/lodges have to offer. It is like being at the nicest natural resort with any activity at your fingertips.   Please call Michael Lutes at 309-256-2767 to arrange a private viewing of this property.
