Belle Wood Sanctuary - 632 ACRES

SOLD

Located in the Mississippi flyway, Belle Wood Sanctuary is a duck hunter's dream, first and foremost, but it also offers incredible deer hunting with plenty of cover, lush food plots, and big delta bucks. There are 9 house stands and multiple large feeders strategically placed throughout the property, and you can't miss spotting the masses of deer tracks around every feeder. The entire tract has been meticulously managed and maintained to hold solid duck and deer populations, and this property has a strong history of great hunts.

This year's duck record: The property was only hunted twice per week in alternating fields. 497 ducks were killed with about 70% mallards.

There are two newly drilled 16-inch wells with new gear heads and pumps that put out 2,000 gallons per minute, so even during a dry spell, the duck holes will have plenty of water to hold the waterfowl. The property's enrolled in perpetual WRP and is planted in hardwoods and cottonwoods. There are 9 flooded fields with 85+ acres planted annually with chiwapa, irresistible to ducks. The deer hunting is also excellent, and you'll spot deer trails, tracks, and huge rubs all over the property. For small game hunting, this tract has an ideal rabbit habitat, and many people enjoy the annual hunts held here.

Side-by-sides and 4-wheel drives are great to have, but the road system is so solid, you could easily drive a car or golf cart or even ride a bike straight to your deer stand or duck blind for your hunt. You won't have to leave the property since there's new housing built for a crowd and lots of covered space for equipment and side-by-sides.

Lodging consists of a newly built shop with living quarters with a main floor master bedroom, full bathroom, and an open kitchen, bar, dining, and den area. Take the chill off after a long day's hunt, & relax in front of the beautiful wood-burning stone fireplace. The wood-planked walls, tin ceilings, and huge cypress columns add rustic appeal to the living quarters. Adjoining the kitchen is a super-nice game-cleaning room with stainless counters, huge stainless triple sinks, an electric deer hoist, a commercial washer and dryer, and a convenient roll-up door to back your side-by-side full of trophies right into the room for cleaning. In addition to the fireplace, the main floor has two heating and cooling wall units, a gas stove, and a tankless water heater, so there's no worry about running out of hot water.

Upstairs are three nice-sized bedrooms with multiple beds in each, two full bathrooms, and a larger bunk room with seven twin mattress beds, so there's plenty of room for a crowd. Each bunk room has its own heating and cooling wall unit, plus there's another in the hallway by the bathrooms to keep the entire upstairs comfortable.
