Property Description
This mixed-use farm is located northwest of Rockford along Telegraph Road in Winnebago County, Illinois and offers a strong combination of production ground, timber, and recreational opportunity. The property features approximately 250 feet of road frontage, providing easy, practical access for farming, managing, or enjoying the land without complication. Approximately 38 +/- acres are in tillable production and are divided into multiple sections by timber and natural features. This layout adds character to the farm while creating edge and transition areas that wildlife naturally use. The tillable acres provide built-in income through an established 2026 farm rent, offering immediate return while still leaving flexibility to shift portions of the farm toward recreation if desired. The southwest tillable field, in particular, offers strong potential for food plots or could be left in cover to further enhance hunting opportunities. Roughly 7 acres of timber and valley ground sit near the center of the property and serve as the recreational core. This area provides natural cover, elevation change, and a level of seclusion that is hard to find in this part of the county. Whether the goal is bow hunting whitetails, chasing spring gobblers, target shooting, or weekend camping, this portion of the farm offers flexibility and multiple setup options throughout the season. The property is located near several public land preserves and the Pecatonica River, adding to the recreational appeal of the surrounding area. While these features do not directly border the farm, they contribute to the outdoor lifestyle this part of Winnebago County is known for. Convenient access to US Route 20 and Interstate 90 makes it easy to reach Rockford and surrounding markets while still enjoying a rural setting once on the property. This is a farm that fits a wide range of buyers, from the recreational landowner to the investor looking for income with upside. Tracts of this size, diversity, and location do not come up often in Winnebago County. The property can be purchased on its own or in combination with the adjoining 68 acres, offering the opportunity to expand acreage, increase income, and create a larger recreational or investment farm. Subject to 2026 farm lease.
