Mowing clover doesn't have to be complicated. Or chemical-heavy. Or weekly.

Clover has a big enough tap root to handle a central Illinois summer. Clip the tops, keep it taller, let the plant do what it's designed to do.

The pretty cut is for the hunter, not the deer. They don't care.

This plot is set up the way every plot should be — blind, tree barrier, water below, food in the pinch point. Habitat works when the structure works.

Already looking forward to fall.

Not every commercial property fits into a standard box.

This established specialty facility offers infrastructure that would be difficult and expensive to recreate today.

Potential opportunities could include:
• Membership based business
• Training or educational use
• Retail and service operation
• Specialty recreational facility
• Destination based business concept

The property includes substantial existing improvements and setup already in place for the next owner.

This opportunity is likely best suited for an owner operator or someone already involved in the industry looking to expand or create something unique. Potential opportunities may extend beyond current use depending on buyer vision and intended operation.

Owner financing may be considered for qualified buyers with substantial down payment.

Additional information available upon request.

Here is the full story of our house.

I built it ten years ago. Framer put up the bones. I did the rest. Roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, the sauna, etc. We brought both our boys home here. After ten years in it, I would not change a thing.

Now we are moving on. Walk through with me. The video is two minutes.
This Sunday from 1-3 p.m., I am at the house. If you have been thinking about it, come by. I will walk you through it personally. End of a cul-de-sac on 2.11 acres in Athens.

10 years ago, I sketched this house out on paper.

We built it around the woods, the views, and how we actually wanted to live.

After all this time… I honestly don’t think I’d change much.

One of my favorite spots on the property.

Hard to beat this view at the end of the day.

One of the biggest reasons I fell in love with this place 10 years ago was the timber behind the house.

It always felt like the best of both worlds.

You had the comfort of a neighborhood, but the second you stepped into the trees, it felt like the country.

Before putting the house on the market, I wanted to clean it back up one last time.

Amazing how certain parts of a property end up holding so many memories.
