Properties along the Cache River have been few and far between for many years, and this offering is not just a random tract that will leave you wondering if mallards will come through the trees the way you’ve always dreamed. This 489.48-acre surveyed property is located off Highway 70, just west of Brinkley, in the heart of the Arkansas waterfowl flyway. A 50-foot easement leads to a gravel parking lot at the northwest corner, where you can launch a boat using the existing gravel ramp and boat ditch or take off on a side-by-side via the interior road system. It's already outfitted with three wells (two electric and one turbine) and all necessary infrastructure to flood both woods and fields.
It’s rare that I get the chance to hunt the tracts I sell, but in this case, I’ve been fortunate to personally experience how exceptional the hunting is. I’ll never forget flushing a massive raft of mallards from the southern end of the timber, thinking, “That was cool, but there they all went,” only for the same thing to happen twice more on the same visit. Riding a UTV through the woods, we watched them circle back and fade south as we unknowingly continued north toward the other two rafts.
One especially unique feature of this property is its ideal terrain. While it may not flood boundary-to-boundary by pump, the benefits are twofold. First, the slight ridges allow for the growth of red oak timber—such as willow oaks and pin oaks—that produce acorns ducks actually feed on. This type of habitat is rare today, as many oak flats have converted to overcup oaks, which offer cover and loafing habitat but little usable mast. When the Cache River rises, these ridges flood, offering acorns and fresh access to aquatic invertebrates. The elevation changes in the field system also let you plant food at different levels, giving ducks new habitat as water levels shift. Strategically placed fields on both sides of the timber add to the tract's appeal. The elevation also gives hunters a place to stand when the river is high—eliminating the need for numerous high-water blinds. When the Brasfield gauge reads around 25.5, nearly the entire tract is flooded, with only the northern portion of the field remaining dry—making it a perfect lodge site with views over your waterfowl food plots. Electricity is already present at the parking area, so extending it to a lodge site would be easy. Or, if preferred, you could build at the parking lot itself, where electric access is already in place.
