1,262 Acres in Fitler, MS - $1,956,100
COTTONWOOD BAR
This Mississippi River island property features the best of both worlds- the phenomenal hunting, majestic beauty, adventure, romance and prestige of a Mississippi River island with the convenient access provided by a concrete, public boat launch directly across an old river chute from the island. The vegetation on the island ranges from typical batture land willow and cottonwood forest to open grass fields that will remind you of the Serengeti Plain in Kenya and Tanzania. Did we mention phenomenal hunting? The number and quality of deer on this island has to be seen to be appreciated, while the duck and Canadian goose hunting is the stuff legend is made of.
