Description
The Big Creek 520 is located in Phillips County, Arkansas on Big Creek near the small town of Oneida. This is an excellent candidate to consider if you are interested in outdoor recreation with farming income. The White River National Wildlife Refuge is just a few miles to the West, which at times is said to hold the largest concentrations of wintering Mallards in the Mississippi Flyway. The Mississippi River is +/- 8 miles East. Big Creek itself is well known as a long time attractant to waterfowl in Southern Arkansas, as evidenced by the number of well-known and established hunting clubs that dot the landscape. This area is also infamous for world class whitetail deer and solid turkey hunting.
Accessed via deeded easement from County Road 352, this tract consists of approx. 400 tillable acres with the remaining land being made up of small wetlands and bottomland hardwood along Big Creek. The creek meanders along the North and West, naturally funneling trophy bucks navigating the wooded tracts. With big Cypress and hardwood trees lining the channel, there are several nice holes conducive for waterfowl wing shooting. When the seasonal flooding arrives, Big Creek leaves its banks and becomes a Mecca for Mallards. With 2 turbine irrigation wells and the ability to re-lift from the creek, the farm can be easily flooded for both farming and hunting in dry conditions. A series of water control structures, sloughs, ditches and levees help create a labyrinth to move water in, around and off the land.
Aside from hunting the natural basin that is Big Creek, the farm is broken into several compartments that offer a variety of field hunting and some small wetland impressions with blinds already in place. There is a boat launch by the small cabin right on the banks of the creek. Some dedicated duck food would go a long way ensuring success for the upcoming season.
While this farm is currently in production and provides the landowner with cash rent income, it would also be a great candidate for enrollment into a conservation easement program given its location and importance to natural wetland habitat. Despite the accompanying limitations of such an easement, WRE easements provide a way for landowners to recoup some of their initial investment capital while improving and providing dedicated game habitat.
