177 +/- acres – Pope County, Illinois - The Poco Lodge and Ranch
The Poco Lodge and Ranch is one of the most versatile land offerings on the market the Southern Illinois. Spanning over 177 acres, along the Ohio River, in Pope County, Illinois, this turn-key property combines premier recreational hunting, income-producing crop retirement program, and exceptional proximity to the Ohio river and Holman lake.
The Land
The ranch’s landscape is a blend of quail filled warm season grasses, marketable timber, and diverse topographies. In strategic locations stands, Seven elevated box blinds, thirty tree stands, and four acres of food plots with twenty-five fruit bearing trees all making for great whitetail hunting. Sprawling Whiteoak’s, hedge apple thickets, an acre and a half pond, and numerous creeks make for outstanding wildlife habitat. Pope County is known for having quality whitetails, just this year a 175-inch typical was harvested on a block on public land near this property, and in driving around the area myself I’ve seen numerous 150+ inch bucks . Proximity to the Ohio river presents enhanced sporting appeal through the migration and wintering of heavily concentrated waterfowl populations.
The Lodge
A private mile oak-lined drive leads to the Lodge, a three-bedroom, three-bath log cabin built for comfort and entertainment. From the floor to walls to furniture every facet of the home was hand crafted and made specially from local timber. Multiple fireplaces found in the screened back patio and living room set the atmosphere and provide instant warmth while reminiscing about the days hunt. A formal dining room, kitchen, and wrap-around porch provide fully equipped spaces for the camp chef to prepare excellent meals for guests. Even boasting a new pool this setup provides year round enjoyment. The lodge blends timeless Illinois style with modern convenience—perfect for family gatherings, corporate retreats, or sporting weekends.

Supporting infrastructure makes Poco a true turn-key operation. The property includes a fully enclosed 40x60 horse stable, 25x20 heated and cooled forge, and 50x30 pull through equipment barn, five acre fenced pasture, along with an established road system providing excellent access. The equestrian stable being the star of the show offers great ability to not only facilitate horses with the five stalls already in place, but also a variety of other livestock if so desired. Currently ruling the roost is our Albino Peacock “Poco.”
