Upland Hunt Club, INC might be the investment opportunity you’ve been searching for! Whether you’ve always dreamed of owning a hunting club, or you’ve been seeking an incredible investment opportunity, this property has everything you need to make those goals a reality. Upland Hunt Club has been in existence since June of 1987, and has been operating for more than 30 years! This operation is conveniently located only 10 miles from the Chicago Rockford International Airport, allowing quick and convenient access for club members that might be coming from afar to enjoy all that the club has to offer. There is a long driveway leading to the center of the property where the 50 x 30 clubhouse and other buildings are located. The clubhouse has a relaxing lounge with a beautiful fireplace, a bar, a kitchen, and restrooms. There are approximately 160 acres of tillable acreage, 60 of which are planted in cover strips for upland birds and other wildlife. The first time I was out viewing the property, I even saw three tom turkeys weaving in and out of the cover strips! The other 100 acres is currently being row-crop farmed. This perfect mix of habitat and food enhances the wildlife and the potential of the hunt club while providing additional income as well! Killbuck Creek borders the east side of this property, so there is never any shortage of water for the wildlife, not to mention it serves as a natural barrier for the property. Don’t think that upland birds and turkeys are all that inhabit this property though. The creek serves as an excellent funnel for deer hunting too! Another thing you must know about the property is that the dove hunting is phenomenal. The wooded acreage combined with the topography changes provide for incredible views and practicality for shooting. Due to elevation changes, there are numerous sporting clay ranges, some of which are at the top of a scenic bluff overlooking the bottoms on the property. The club can accommodate 250 members/shooters, which provides for friendly competition while skeet shooting and great comradery while hunting. If you don’t believe me, you’ll have to see one of the major shoots that are often hosted on the property! This property has been the host of shoots such as State of Illinois Sporting Clays Championships, Zone Shoots, and Boy Scouts of American/Blackhawk Council shoots. The property yields approximately $50,000 - $60,000 in annual income and has great potential for an even stronger return depending on how you choose to run the operation. Three acres of the property are enrolled in CSP which also provide for additional income. Located on the property is a 10,000-bushel grain bin that has been converted to a quail pen. There is a 50 x 50 metal storage building, a 90 x 35 machine shop with running water and electricity, and two smaller storage spaces with a garage door for easy accessibility. Also located on the property is a four bedroom, 1.5 bathroom farmhouse with a detached 2-car garage. With some updating and repairs, the house could be a primary residence, a rental house, or utilized as part of the hunt club operation. The trail system throughout the property provides easy access from shooting site to shooting site, and the roads, parking lot, and trails are all well maintained. You can easily access all parts of the property! How often do you come across an investment opportunity like this where you can hunt pheasants, doves, quail, chucker, turkeys, deer and more? Almost never! Give me a call today to learn more about this incredible hunting club and all that the property has to offer!
