Ideal Waterfowl Development Property
Bugs Road Lot# Wp 001 Decker, IN 47524
Description
Check out this incredible opportunity to own an ideally situated hunting property. If ever there was a property that had the potential of being the best hunting property around, this might be it. Recently enrolled in a Wetlands Reserve Easement, this property is currently farmed with tenant rights through harvest. After the 2022 harvest, this property will be allowed to grow up naturally. Within a few years, there is no doubt that the early successional growth will support numerous wildlife species. WRP properties are consistently some of the best hunting properties we sell year in and year out. Administered in partnership with the NRCS, this land is in a permanent set aside program and will be allowed to revert to its historic condition. The NRCS allows up to 5% of the total acreage in the program to be allocated for food plots and trails. With nearly 1.5 miles of White River Frontage along the eastern and southern boundaries, there’s plenty of opportunity for kayaking and boating fun while providing unique access from the riverside on the farm. What gets us excited about this farm is its potential hunting potential. Located in a great area with conservation-minded neighbors, this property sits within a short flight of many area waterfowl resting destinations, including Cane Ridge WMA(Mt Carmel), Glendale F&W Area, Goose Pond F&W Area, Merom Power Plant, and the Embarrass River Bottoms State Habitat Area; not to mention the White River itself. This strategic location should allow for some incredible wing shooting with just a little work. Coming out of production this fall, now is the perfect time to implement habitat plans, including water containment structures, dirt dams, food plots, and moist-soil management areas. In addition, the area soil and water conservation district has expressed interest in helping the new owners implement some of these strategies on the allocated acres. Even if waterfowl aren’t high on your list…the deer and turkey hunting on the property will no doubt be phenomenal within just a few short years. The edge of the bean field is littered with fresh tracks with heavy trails leading out from the western neighbor into the bean field. If you’ve ever dreamed of taking a property that is a blank slate and manipulating it to create ideal wildlife habitat…you should certainly take a closer look at this listing. We have no doubt this property could become a premier hunting destination with only a few enhancements.
