Opportunities like this don’t come along often. Having just been enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Easement program, the groundwork is being laid for what promises to become a standout hunting property. Perhaps the best value here is the timing; rather than buying a finished product, you are able to get in on the ground floor and watch the transformation happen. Ducks Unlimited is currently designing multiple shallow water units that will provide ideal duck habitat and strong seasonal attraction. Sitting adjacent to Pond River, these additions can aid in helping to pull waterfowl following their natural fly patterns. Professional creek crossings will be installed to preserve the stream banks and provide smart, low-impact access through the property. Tree plantings are already in place, with an intentional mix of cypress, hickory, persimmon, wild plum and a heavy emphasis on oak species to maximize wildlife value. One of the best aspects of this tract is the flexibility that still exists. Up to 5% of the total acreage may be eligible for food plots (subject to NRCS approval), and a trail layout is still an open question. This means a buyer may have the chance for input on how to best access the property, so long as the goals align with the overall preservation of the land and the NRCS approves. So often, when these properties change hands, the work is done and the new landowner has very little say moving forward; this property brings the opportunity to bring the exact opposite! The area is known for producing quality deer, and the newly developed habitat will only improve year over year. Every WRE tract I’ve stepped on has offered exceptional hunting and this one is sure to be no different. The biggest exception is this one could likely carry your stamp. From layout to access to management, this is a chance to grow with the land and help shape what it becomes. Call today and come see this opportunity firsthand!
