Description
Location is everything in waterfowl hunting, and this farm checks every box. Sitting along the banks of the Ohio River directly across from Birdsville Island, it’s positioned right where serious duck hunters want to be—on the “X.” This stretch of river consistently holds and moves birds, offering some of the best waterfowl hunting you’ll find in the Midwest. What really sets it apart is the neighboring refuge—Birdsville Island and the surrounding river corridor are closed to hunting from October 15 through March 15, creating a true sanctuary. That kind of protected resting area is the key to consistent success, and it’s what makes this property a rare opportunity for hunters looking for something special. On top of its premier waterfowl appeal, this farm delivers exceptional, big-buck whitetail hunting. Properties that truly offer both are hard to find, but this one does it right. This part of Pope County has a reputation for producing mature deer year after year, and this tract fits that mold. The farm features a highly diverse layout with approximately 250± acres of productive tillable ground, made up of both river bottom and upland fields. Beyond the income potential, these areas create miles of edge and transition cover that consistently draw and hold wildlife. There are also numerous spots perfectly suited for additional food plots, giving you the ability to further enhance an already strong habitat. The terrain transitions from gently rolling uplands into steeper areas and a prominent bluff that drops into fertile river bottom ground. This natural change in elevation creates excellent travel corridors and pinch points, especially during the rut. Fields of open grassland and areas of early successional habitat further contribute to the diversity, providing bedding, cover, and browse. Numerous funnels and pinch points are scattered throughout the tract, offering exceptional stand locations and the ability to hunt a variety of wind directions. Water is abundant across the property, with several ponds, a large rock-bottom creek, and multiple feeder streams. Combined with frontage along the Ohio River, these features establish a reliable water source and major travel corridors for wildlife. The timbered ridges and draws are loaded with softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods, along with areas of dense security and bedding cover that help hold deer year-round. Improvements include a 2-bedroom, 1-bath hunting cabin that serves as a comfortable basecamp, along with utilities already established on site. Multiple areas across the property offer outstanding build site potential for a permanent residence or expanded lodge setup. This rare, turnkey farm along the Ohio River across from Birdsville Island is perfectly positioned “on the X” for premier waterfowl hunting, enhanced by a nearby refuge, and pairs it with proven big-buck potential in Pope County, diverse habitat, income-producing acres, abundant water, and a comfortable cabin.
