Chalet In Libano

This 263.95+/- acre duck hunter’s dream of a recreational property sits in St. Clair County, Illinois, minutes off Interstate 64. Offering a well-established and turnkey setup for hunting, long stays, and outdoor fun. The property includes approximately 1.25 miles of frontage along Silver Creek and features a managed wetland system designed to control both incoming and outgoing water.

The property is configured with three separate huntable fields, supported by three water control structures that aid water management across the habitat. There are two permanent duck hunting pits and four blinds positioned to provide flexible hunting options depending on water levels, wind direction, and bird movement. Levees separating the fields provide reliable access throughout the hunting areas.

Beyond waterfowl, the property supports great deer and turkey populations with a combination of timber, bedding, established trails, and food sources. Tillable ground and surrounding agricultural land contribute to consistent wildlife use of the area. A 1.7+/- acre fishing pond is stocked and aerated, providing additional recreational use.

Approximately 23+/- acres are in tillable production, generating an estimated annual income between $5,000 and $8,000. A large portion of the property is enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program, supporting long-term conservation use while maintaining recreational value.

Sitting on the property is an approximately 1,400 square foot cabin with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The cabin is supported by electric, gas, water, septic, and a Generac generator. It is suitable for overnight stays and extended use during hunting seasons making it the perfect hunting lodge.

Two barns are located on the property, one of which is fully enclosed. With approximately 5,000 square feet enclosed, this offers plenty of storage for equipment, boats, ATVs, and hunting gear. The other barn has been used as a horse barn with plenty of stables and pens. With some of the pasture area fenced, this could again be suited for horses or other livestock if desired.

The sale includes all existing equipment and machinery, including a JD 250 Series II skid steer with attachments, Polaris Ranger ATV, Farmall 656 Tractor, brush hog, tilers, and additional farm implements.

Access is provided by a long private driveway off Rieder Road that dead ends at the property. The location offers convenient proximity, sitting less than two miles off Interstate 64. The property is situated within the Metro East and is under 30 miles from downtown St. Louis, Missouri. It also sits just minutes from Scott Air Force Base and MidAmerica St. Louis Airport.
