Lonoke, AR 72086 - Lonoke County

Goosehead Reserve is approximately 700 acres in Lonoke County, Arkansas offering a very rare opportunity to acquire historically proven impounded green timber and complementary agricultural acreage in close proximity to Little Rock. The property consists of two (2) tracts in the Big Bayou Meto flyway with the south tract having approximately 6,000 feet of frontage along Big Bayou Meto. The southern tract features 260 acres of impounded green timber in four (4) total impoundments that can all be artificially flooded. This acreage has been well cared for and designed to manage water to keep optimal flood depth even during periods of high water. The timber is in excellent condition and the largest reservoir, in particular, has an impressive stand of red-oaks. Three (3) of the four (4) reservoirs can be accessed with a side by side, and the largest reservoir has a very sharp one slip boat house at the northwest corner. The Farm Service Agency reports a total of 291 tillable acres on the south tract, all of which are irrigated. Additionally, all of the tillable acres have been leveled and 90 acres are leveled to a zero grade. These fields are critical to the consistent success of the green timber reservoirs as they flank the main impoundment on the western and southern sides. If desired, the fields could be converted to duck food to further enhance the hunting. On the northwest corner of the north tract is a 2 acre caretakers site, or secondary lodge site where two mobile homes are currently located.

The northern tract consists of 87 acres and features a 16 acre stocked fishing reservoir with two boat slips and a large deck. Located on the north side of the reservoir is a beautiful lodge built in 2015 and features a master suite, four (4) bedrooms with four (4) full bathrooms, and offers stunning views to the west, south, and east. Total square footage for the lodge is 3,321 and the open concept floor plan is well designed to host groups or be a family retreat with amazing detail to the finish out. There is also a completely finished out 739 square boot room / garage as well an owners office that totals 780 square feet. The office features all glass on three sides and includes its own half-bath, refrigerator, bar & dishwasher. A full detailing of this exquisite lodge and complementary office & boot room is provided in the brochure. Additionally, there is a 20 acre field that could be a dove field and 42 acres of former fish ponds that provides additional deer & waterfowl habitat.
