+/-160 acres of hunting land for sale in Phillips County, Arkansas, near Marvell and the +/-160,000-acre White River National Wildlife Refuge. Located in the Arkansas Delta portion of the Mississippi Flyway, this timbered recreational property combines Little Cypress Creek with hardwoods, food-plot openings, and paved access via Highway 39 to create an amazing opportunity.

Little Cypress Creek and the property's timber and vegetation create a natural habitat for ducks and deer. Natural creeks, vegetation, and timber that seasonally flood provide cover and travel corridors for ducks, deer, and other game. Game should be drawn to the property. Little Cypress Creek passes through the eastern parcel, where fields of smartweed and other wetland vegetation are. The property's timber features a mixture of hardwoods planted under the CRP program (now ended), naturally occurring cypress, willows, and hardwoods, providing cover and mast for wildlife. Together, the creek, timber and natural forage give the property the essential habitat components needed to attract ducks, deer and other game.

The property's flat contours, open areas, internal soil drainage, timber, and accessibility to groundwater and electricity make it a prime candidate for improvements. Former rice ground with floodable soils, available groundwater, and access to electricity can provide a strong foundation for developing managed waterfowl and deer habitat. Both parcels were previously used for rice production before being planted in hardwoods through the CRP program (ended). The established timber is mixed with open areas that could be shaped into food plots, shallow-water impoundments, or other wildlife habitats. The property’s generally flat terrain, access to surface drainage, and soil types appear favorable for flooding and draining, while groundwater and electricity are readily available. As such, the property is a prime candidate for development, with full water control, excellent cover, and substantial forage.

The property’s location strengthens it. Large areas of public habitat hold substantial wildlife populations. The Refuge is one of North America’s most important waterfowl areas and one of the largest remaining bottomland-hardwood forests. It is a magnet for ducks, deer, and other wildlife. Its proximity benefits this property, as ducks and deer move between the refuge habitat and surrounding wetlands and agricultural ground, seeking forage and relief from hunting pressure on public land.

Paved Highway 39 provides easy and consistent access to both portions of the property. Direct access from a well-maintained paved road makes a hunting property easier to use and maintain. Highway 39 runs between the two approximately 80-acre parcels, providing convenient access for hunters and land-management equipment. The paved frontage makes the property practical and easily accessible.

This ±160-acre hunting and recreational property for sale near Marvell, Arkansas, is a premier opportunity to own natural wetland habitat with the potential for full management and improvement. Its location, access, existing hardwoods and water-related features give a buyer the foundation for a distinctive Arkansas duck- and deer-hunting property.
