Located in the heart of the Mississippi River flyway is the unique property that offers some of the best hunting opportunities the Midwest has to offer and a strong return on your investment. The property is located on the Mississippi River in the west-central part of the county near the small town of Mozier. Being an island, the first question that comes to mind is how close is the nearest boat ramp. The great thing about this property is the boat ramp is a mere ½ mile north of the property on the Illinois side as the end of Rip Rap Landing Road. The property had been farmed in past years but has been enrolled in CRP for the past 20 years and has become a wildlife mecca. The current CRP contract brings in $35,653 a year through 2026 and is a natural regeneration plan. The property offers excellent deer hunting access around all sides via boat, making stand access for various winds bulletproof. What makes this property truly unique is the owner’s ability to pump water from the river onto the island and flood approximately 50 acres. The seller has been able to flood this in about 16 hours of pumping and about an hour a day to maintain water levels. Having 50 acres of flooded timber in the heart of the flyway is something every waterfowl hunter dreams of having. To top it all off, the property is located right next door to the Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge on the Missouri side. The refuge is a mere ½ mile to the west of this island and holds a tremendous amount of birds throughout the fall. The south end of the island is a sand bar and has offered an excellent location for hunting geese and a blind location on the river. If you are in the market for a property with a strong return on your investment as well as some of the best waterfowl hunting the flyway has to offer, give the listing agents a call today for more information or to schedule a private showing.
