Barton, AR 72355(Phillips County)

The Wetland Reserve Easement (WRE) lands consist of 990 +/- acres located just south of County Road 350 and begins just over 100 yards from the front door of the lodge. Just past the gate entrance, a 17 +/- acre pond is present and has been generously stocked with catfish and bream. A six (6) inch electric submersible well allows for consistency in the management of the pond. Just past the pond down the road is a steel arched bridge over Lick Creek that was added in 2019, which offers excellent access to the numerous hunting locations by ATV/UTV. The WRE lands at Lick Creek are unique and designed with the waterfowler in mind. Within the approximately 990 +/- acres of WRE, 243 +/- acres have been specifically designed into moist soil units (MSU). There are numerous tree lines, islands and areas of bank cover throughout the WRE that allows the hunter to easily move to where the ducks want to be. Irrigation exists via two (2) diesel turbine wells that are linked to risers by underground pipe. This gives the property owner the ability to flood many of the moist soil areas during dry years. There are also excellent deer hunting opportunities throughout the property.

The very well-designed and comfortable lodge at Lick Creek is situated on a secluded and tree-shaded ten (10) +/- acre site, and has approximately 3,800 square feet under roof, 2,500 square feet of which is heated and cooled. It is configured with four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. There is a large open concept living area and kitchen that splits the bedrooms two and two. Additionally, there are two 600 square foot hunting/storage shops on each end which can be accessed internally or from the outside by single entry or roll up doors. The like-new lodge, constructed in 2018, is good quality steel beam construction with metal exterior walls and roof on a concrete slab. All interior walls are insulated to provide sound reduction and climate control, and the interior ceiling height is 10 feet. On the west side of the lodge is a comfortable 600 square foot painted wood frame pavilion/fire pit area, and a 4 bay dog pen. Behind the lodge, there is an 8 +/- acre field that has been planted in sunflowers and in recent years has been used as a dove field. Its close proximity to the lodge offers a bonus to the recreational aspect of this property.
