PRICE IMPROVEMENT!!!

Oak Mound is a phenomenal, newly developed property located in the heart of one of Arkansass most productive flyways. This newly impounded green tree reservoir is a simply beautiful half section of excellent condition bottomland hardwoods. Located just northwest of Des Arc, it lies directly in the path of ducks trading between the Bayou Des Arc / Cypress Creek drainage and the famous Raft Creek Bottoms of the White River one of the most desirable duck hunting locations in the state. The GTR has been meticulously designed and constructed for no other purpose than to attract and hold mallards. The owner / developer has lightly treaded on the property during its infancy to enhance the imprinting of the property; thus far proven to be successful and worthy of the development.

This recreational tract is comprised of 321.07 surveyed acres and is essentially divided into three (3) compartments. Construction began on the GTR during the summer of 2022 and was completed the following summer. It was an ambitious project with over four (4) miles of perimeter levees, and cross levees, that have created a diverse habitat and perfect, consistent depths for feeding and loafing waterfowl. While other parts have been left thick for thermal cover and to further promote diversity. The fresh impoundment means that the bottomland oaks have no stress from previous water mismanagement, therefore making it one of the prettiest impounded patches of bottomland timber in East Arkansas. Other parts of the GTR have been thinned, mulched, and planted in corn, milo, rice, and millet to attract ducks and provide diversity. The current owners have flown corn onto the impoundment three (3) times in order to attract and imprint ducks to the property, and it has not been hunted since construction. The supplemental feeding has proven extremely successful. The woods have been full of ducks this prior winter with ample feed and zero hunting pressure.

The parcel is in close proximity to Raft Creek WMA, the White River, Bald Knob NWR, and Hurricane WMA all areas holding thousands of wintering waterfowl. The property has brand new water control structures on all impoundments and three (3) new six-inch electric submersible wells to fill the impoundment. The east basin will also naturally fill with rainfall via a drainage from the north, through a gated water control structure. The entire green tree reservoir is well-designed and easy to maintain, water, and dewater.

A local resident currently assists with the upkeep of the acreage and planting of waterfowl and deer food plots. His services could possibly be retained.

Other features include two (2) permanent Muddy brand tower deer stands that are located on wildlife food plots with supplemental feeders, which will convey with the sale. The property includes some very productive deer hunting with potential for giant whitetails. All of the deer stands will convey with property. Additional features include a nice permanent duck blind located on one of the food plot acres, which accommodates 6-8 hunters.
