What could be better than two dozen mallards circling a hole in the timber and dropping through the treetops with their feet down? How about that same scenario played out on your very own property that also provides income? Green timber hunting for ducks isn't only available in Arkansas you can experience it in the river bottoms of west-central Missouri as well. Located just 5 flight miles from Four Rivers Conservation Area, this 100 +/- acre parcel offers tremendous recreational opportunities on the banks of the Marmaton River. Four Rivers Conservation Area regularly attracts 60,000+ ducks at peak migration, and with that many in the area, you can be sure plenty of those will fly over your blind. But ducks aren't the only game in town, and this property, with its secluded location and position along a major travel corridor, also attracts plenty of white-tailed deer and wild turkeys, and a morning or afternoon sit in a strategically placed stand or blind should offer plenty of chances to fill the freezer or put a bruiser buck on the wall. Area anglers will also attest to the abundance of big flathead and blue catfish that cruise the Marmaton River, and with ~5,500' of river shoreline, you'll have plenty of places to set some lines for a chance at a river monster.

A real bonus feature for this property though is the income potential that it provides. 60 of the 100 acres consist of a well-managed organic pecan grove full of mature trees. These native pecans have a higher oil content than most improved varieties, providing a more rich, complex flavor. But for the producer or manager wanting to diversify with larger nut varieties, the native rootstocks take well to grafting and could be producing nuts quickly as well. Pecan harvest since 2015 has averaged 11,250 lbs/year and has been as high as 29,500 lbs/year. The income stream from nut harvest offers an attractive ROI to buyers willing to harvest it themselves, but several custom harvesters in the area could be used as well. For the buyer looking at it purely from an investment standpoint, annual nut harvest plus hunting leases could make this a very attractive land investment.

It's safe to say that large pecan groves with all the additional bells and whistles available in this package don't come along often.
