Discover your very own slice of country heaven with the Shelbyville 40, a pristine 40-acre parcel nestled just south of charming Shelbyville, Illinois. This property offers a remarkable blend of natural beauty and versatility that caters to all your rural dreams.

The wooded landscape showcases a variety of terrain, including open oak flats, rolling ravines, and thick drainages.

Open Acres: The remaining 14 acres are dedicated to flat, open spaces. These areas are utilized for row crop production and enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Notably, two acres of CRP on the southwest corner of the property, making it an ideal location for constructing your dream home or weekend cabin. Road frontage along 1700 East Road and access to power ensure convenience and accessibility.

This combination has historically attracted an abundance of wildlife, including impressive bucks. The property’s strategic positioning amidst surrounding agricultural production funnels wildlife through this area, resulting in well-worn trails and ample signs of deer activity, such as old rubs and scrapes. The fall is when this property really shines as the surronding crops are harvested.
