Located just outside of Erie, this property offers exceptional versatility and opportunities for waterfowl enthusiasts. The main road through town transitions into River Rd, leading toward the Rock River, while Blake Rd provides excellent access around the property and serves as the northern and eastern borders. The property spans 40 acres +/- with 35.8 acres currently enrolled in CRP, with a yearly income of $8,229 making it an extremely affordable investment. The terrain includes shallow ponds scattered throughout, higher ridges, ideal for quickly bringing in gear and blinds, with convenient parking along the tree line. Situated less than a mile north of the Rock River, the property is surrounded by agricultural land, sloughs, and wetlands. The CRP contract may allow for converting up to 10% of the enrolled acres into food plots, offering a great opportunity to enhance the habitat around the multiple shallow ponds. In May 2024, these ponds held knee to waist-high water levels, which historically dry out in the summer. This provides a chance to plant millet during the dry months and hunt the ponds with a food source when the rains return in the fall. Additionally, the property’s close proximity to the boat launch on the Rock River and Big Bend State Conservation Area provides access to over 2,500 acres of deer, turkey, and waterfowl habitat, allowing you to hunt state ground in addition to your own property. The property is all in a floodplain and partially a wetland.**PLEASE DO NOT GO ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT AGENT AND APPOINTMENT**
