0 W Raders Rd, Pearl City, IL 61062

Located in western Stephenson County, Illinois, this 61± acre recreational property offers a diverse combination of mature hardwood timber, flowing water, established trails, food plots and surrounding agricultural habitat. With Yellow Creek winding along portions of the western and southern boundaries, an additional drainage creek crossing the property and extensive timber cover, this tract provides the habitat diversity that hunters and recreational land buyers often seek in northwest Illinois. Water is one of the defining features of this Stephenson County hunting property. Yellow Creek meanders through and along the property, connecting with agricultural ground and timber habitat throughout the surrounding corridor. A drainage creek also runs through the tract before converging with Yellow Creek. These waterways provide multiple water sources for wildlife while adding natural travel corridors, terrain features and character to the property. The mature timber is surrounded by productive row-crop country consisting primarily of corn and soybeans, with additional connected timber nearby. This mix of agriculture, hardwoods, water and cover creates a strong setting for whitetail deer and other wildlife. The surrounding habitat gives hunters several options for evaluating seasonal movement between bedding cover, agricultural food sources, creek corridors and internal food plots. Access is provided by a gated lane entering from the western side of the property. Near the entrance is an area where a truck or camper can be parked off the road without requiring travel through the heart of the property. Power has already been run to the property, although it is not currently connected to a structure or other improvement. The entrance area has enough existing vegetation to provide separation from the road, while selective clearing could create additional space for parking, equipment or a camper setup. From this western access point, an extensive and well-maintained internal trail system serves as a trailhead into multiple areas of the farm. The trails provide convenient access to hunting locations, food plots and different sections of the timber. For hunters focused on minimizing disturbance, the existing trail network provides a useful starting point for developing entry and exit routes based on wind direction, stand placement and seasonal deer movement. An established internal food plot of approximately one-half acre is the largest food plot on the property. Several smaller plots are also positioned along the trail system. These openings provide opportunities for supplemental forage and hunting setups within the timber. Buyers can continue managing the existing plots or modify the system based on their preferred wildlife and habitat management plan. The eastern portion of the property contains a substantial stand of hardwood timber with the drainage creek running through it. Much of this section has remained relatively untouched, providing a lower-disturbance area within the tract. A future owner could maintain this portion as a sanctuary or selectively add trails, hunting access and additional food plots if desired. Rolling contour adds another useful component to the property. The terrain has enough variation to create funnels, creek crossings, benches and natural travel routes while remaining practical for recreational use and property management. The combination of rolling timber, creek bottoms, established trails and open food plots gives this 61± acre tract a variety of habitat types within a manageable acreage.
