This farm is located 3 miles south of Tower Hill IL and 39 miles NW of Effingham IL. It is situated in the heart of farmland, gentle rolling hills, and woodlands.  On the farm sits a well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2240 square foot home, a 40 x 72 x 15 metal pole barn, couple of outbuildings, 2 ponds, one which is stocked with some decent size crappie and bass. The total acreage of the farm is 190+/- acres of flat to rolling hills.
