Black River Lodge

Black River Lodge is a turnkey, four-season recreational property in Independence County, Arkansas. The property is easily accessed, offers multiple outdoor opportunities, and is ideally suited as a quintessential outing place or permanent pastoral residence. The land totals 365.57 +/- surveyed acres in two unique tracts comprised of an 81.4 +/- acre upland tract and 284.17 +/- acres of outstanding duck and deer hunting land along the Black River, featuring .75 miles of river frontage. 

Tract 1 offers a rolling topography of set where the Ozark Foothills meet the Arkansas Delta. Positioned on the west at the highest point of the property is a developed area offering a newly built, custom, 3,120 +/- square foot lodge and a 1,600 +/- square foot shop with secure equipment storage, ample parking, and scenic eastern views of the Black River basin. Most of the land is pasture, currently in hay production, with mature hardwood timber framing the north and east boundary. At the heart of the landscape is a small pond ideal for expanding to a large bass fishing lake using the contours of the land. Tract 1 serves as the base for duck and deer hunting on Tract 2 and offers a range of year-round options from hobby farming, gardening, and livestock to ATV riding, shooting, or simply a place to get away with family and friends in the quiet countryside.

Positioned directly on the storied Black River flyway in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, Tract 2 represents some of the finest duck hunting opportunities in Arkansas. The secluded wetlands provide an ideal sanctuary that attracts thousands of ducks migrating down the Black River. The land offers an unparalleled duck hunting experience, blending a varied habitat of mature and mixed-age hardwoods and willows, moist soil areas, potholes, and the tree-lined channel of Deep Slough, which meanders through the property. The land is water-controlled, allowing for easy flooding and ensuring optimal conditions for duck hunting. Bordering the property are thousands of acres of developed waterfowl habitat managed under conservation easements. This adjacent ground comprises mature timberland, willow flats and sloughs, moist-soil wetlands, and oxbow lakes, providing added value to the property. Within roughly 10 miles are renowned duck hunting properties such as the 11,000-acre Shirey Bay Rainey Brake Wildlife Management Area, Otter Lake Hunting Club, and Stan Jones Mallard Lodge, which underscores the reputation of the area for exceptional duck hunting. Along with a strong history of wintering large concentrations of ducks, Tract 2 also offers excellent whitetail deer hunting opportunities for harvesting trophy bucks. Several sites have box stands and a proven history of successful deer hunting outings.

Priced at $2.750 million — Black River Lodge represents a turnkey get-a-way place for year-round enjoyment and outstanding duck and deer hunting during the autumn and winter.
