Tucked into the rolling country of Alexander County and surrounded by thousands of acres of the Shawnee National Forest, this 17.47- acre property pairs a comfortable three-level home with the kind of land that rewards both everyday living and serious outdoor recreation. The residence offers three bedrooms and three baths, a recently remodeled kitchen, and a partially finished walkout basement built on a poured concrete foundation. A covered porch invites quiet mornings overlooking the property, and a durable metal roof tops the home. Two outbuildings sit on the property as well.Beyond the home, the acreage opens into a network of fields connected by an established trail system - a setup that lends itself naturally to food plot conversion for those looking to draw whitetail and turkey closer to home. With a documented history of trophy deer on the property and the surrounding national forest serving as a vast, protected sanctuary, this corner of Southern Illinois offers the kind of genetics and habitat that draw hunters from across the country. The mix of cover, openings, and trail access positions this tract as a strong recreational property right out of the gate.Several flat, accessible building sites scattered across the property open the door to additional possibilities, whether that means tucking in a cabin or two for Airbnb and short-term rental income, creating a private getaway for family and friends, or simply expanding the homestead. The location lends itself well to that kind of vision - roughly 25 minutes from both Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and Anna, Illinois, the property sits far enough out to feel genuinely rural while keeping groceries, restaurants, and everyday services within easy reach. With a finished home already in place and raw land ready to be shaped to the buyer's vision, this is a versatile offering for hunters, hobby farmers, and investors alike.
