62 ± Acres on Fish Farm Rd — Stocked Fish Pond Welcome to one of the most versatile recreational and investment tracts to hit the Hardin County market — 62 ± acres of mixed timber and open ground on Fish Farm Rd in the heart of Southern Illinois’s Shawnee Hills. The property features substantial paved road frontage, a stocked fish pond on-site, and rolling, buildable terrain at roughly 430 ft elevation, well outside any flood zone.
