Rare opp for outstanding duck & buck hunting, garage w utilities
You can have it all! .... with this rare opportunity to own a custom designed duck hunting property which has also featured many trophy bucks.

Ducks were flying everywhere when recently walked by this agent. The ponds feature water level controls to adjust water and habitat to ideal levels, while the largest pond has a 16' x 5' duck blind with dog ramps. The surrounding dikes also double as food plots, covered with white clover, and well maintained, easy to navigate trail systems providing access throughout the property. This former farm's flat muckland area provides excellent Whitetail habitat with naturally dense brush and undergrowth, along with some trees, creating optimum cover and bedding areas, ideal for growing trophy bucks. In addition, multiple food plots are planted in strategic locations around the property. There is a recently built 30' x 45' steel garage with 12' walls and garage door that is 12' wide and 10' tall, which could be used as a camp, as well as storage for equipment and toys. The garage has power, propane heat, plumbing for kitchen area and bathroom, concrete floor, insulated walls, 200 amp electrical panel, 28 ft. well with submersible pump, and electric hot water heater. There is a Conservation Easement on the majority of the property, as part of the Wetland Reserve Program and NRCS land development, the Seller did set aside 17+/- acres for potential additional building sites or other uses as desired.
