130.36 Acres in Mellwood, AR - $306,346

The Bee Bayou Preserve is an outstanding tract of hunting land. Located in Phillips County, Arkansas, its western border touches over 100,000 acres of public land, the White River National Wildlife Refuge. In the year 2000, this property was converted from low-lying farmland back into its highest and best use, woodland hunting ground. It was put into the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) and now has 20 year old trees consisting of oak, cypress, willow, and tupelo. When designing and implementing the program, wildlife habitat for waterfowl and white-tailed deer was the driving force, ultimately leading to the creation of this great preserve. The design entails a combination of dry-land hardwoods, and around 40+ acres of moist-soil and wetlands utilizing a water control structure. Using simply annual rainfall, this impoundment can easily be controlled to create the perfect environment for wildlife. This property holds the opportunity for successfully harvesting trophy bucks and mallard ducks.

One of the many factors that make this property uniquely attractive is the location. Besides bordering the White River National Wildlife Refuge, this land sits only a mile and a half from the banks of the White River itself. More than that, the Mississippi River is just six miles to the east. This creates a veritable bottleneck in between two of the most heavily trafficked waterfowl

flyways in North America. That element combined with monster bucks ranging in from the refuge, and wild hogs throughout the area makes this an outdoors-man's paradise.
