ALL AROUND GREAT HUNTING PROPERTY
These 325 acres is located in Northern Calhoun County along the banks of the Mississippi River among some of the best duck hunting land in the country! The property is enrolled in the WRP program & is a turnkey waterfowl hunting destination. There are 2 waterfowl hunting impoundments on the property, 2 pit blinds, one pond in the timber, and almost 3 miles of water frontage along the Sny and slough. What makes this property so special is the fact that it is surrounded almost 360 degrees by water, but is completely levee protected keeping the property dry during wet years. This is very difficult to find in a good duck hunting property!
Two acres were excluded from the WRP contract and is an excellent site for a lodge or home.

BORDERS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
BORDERS STATE CONSERVATION AREA
These 225 acres represents a unique opportunity to own some of the best whitetail hunting land in the country located along the banks of the Mississippi River. The property is made up almost completely of hardwood timber with approximately 5 acres in WRP. There are several features that make this property unique. The first is the fact that the majority of the property is levee protected. This is a huge asset to the property! Another unique aspect to this property is the fact that it borders a large state conservation area. Much of this conservation area is foot traffic only and it is geared more towards duck hunting and does not have much deer hunting pressure. When duck season opens these 225 acres is the safe haven for all the wildlife in the area. This property is covered up with deer year round but it goes to another level when the duck hunting begins on the conservation area. This property is priced well below market value for Calhoun County offering great investment potential as well.
