Description
Consisting of more than 1,372 acres of contiguous forested 23-year-old WRP habitat, Waverly Deer/Waterfowl is a hunter's dream with opportunities for deer, duck, geese, squirrel, rabbit, and dove hunting, with the added bonus of crawfishing in the spring. The farm was converted from farmland in early 2002, with numerous species of oak, including nuttall, willow, water oak, green ash, and cypress, planted as part of the Wetland Reserve Program. These oak trees have been dropping acorns for nearly seven years now. In addition, 10 moist soil areas with water control structures were built to manage water levels for waterfowl in the fall. Located 1.3 miles north of Hwy 80 between Waverly and Delhi, Louisiana, the property is only 2.5 miles north of the Waverly I-20 exit. Conveniently located 35 miles from Vicksburg, MS, and 35 miles from Monroe, LA, this property is easily accessed from the east or west. Poverty Point Reservoir is known for its outstanding fishing and is only a stone’s throw from property, and Tensas Refuge is only a few miles to the south for some great public fishing and hunting. The property is bordered by over a mile of Joe’s Bayou, the site of a large portion of Teddy Roosevelt’s laRoosevelt's t in 1907. The western border is marked by an old farm-to-market road that is not currently utilized. North and south borders are bounded by like-minded owners who are committed to trophy whitetail management practices as well. The property is already set up for entertaining with a 3,000 sq. ft. two-story hewn beam lodge built in the Scandinavian double dovetail joint style with six bedrooms and three baths. In addition, a 2,000 sq. ft. dogtrot style cypress lodge is also on the grounds. It is set up as a duplex with two fully functional separate living quarters with full kitchens and baths. The dogtrot cabin has a large upstairs bunkroom accommodating five bunk beds and another private bedroom. Both cabins have large porches and fireplaces or wood heaters/inserts. The lodges are perfectly set up for large family gatherings or corporate entertainment. There is also a 600 sq. ft. outdoor kitchen area with a double winch-assisted deer skinning/cleaning and a 12’ x 16’ walk-in commercial c12'er 16' aging your deer before processing. All are climate-controlled. Bayou Macon Water System services the cabins, and Entergy provides electricity. Sewage is managed by separate Jet Aerator systems. A 40’ x 100’ sided barn is on site with a 16’40'100’ attached lean-to shed. The barn is 16'wired 'or lights and electricity, and has shelving and a large air compressor within the barn. The entire compound is surrounded with a 5’ chain link fence with an electric gate. 5'ditional cross fencing is within the area for dog runs or chicken pens if desired. There are approximately 42 acres of food plot areas on the Columbia Gulf pipeline row, the Entergy powerline row, and numerous other set-aside food plots scattered across the property. In addition to the food plot areas on the site, we are fortunate to have approximately 5,000 acres of soybeans grown annually on the farms adjacent to us on the property's west, north, and east sides. Deeproperty'sely from the cover to the beans to forage. A bonus for flooding the duck ponds in the fall is the existence of two electrically driven 8” water wells equipped with 15 HP motors. The capacity of the two wells is 1,000 GPM each. An underground piping system allows several ponds to be flooded with one well. All is in place and equipped with risers and valves to direct water to the desired ponds. Equipment such as tractors, discs, and bush hogs to maintain roads and food plots will be available at an attractive price if the new owner would like to consider acquiring any of them after closing on the sale. Records from DMAP for the last 10 years are available upon request. Details of cabin construction utilizing 300-year-old longleaf heart pine beams and timbers are also available upon request. Several 150-, 160-, and 170-inch class whitetails have been harvested in the last few years, with one 202” buck included. Photos are available. Last y, this property has been enrolled in a carbon credit program with Green Trees since 2015. Payments to the landowner have been impressive over the past three years. Payments in 2020 were over $67,000, and over $69,000 for 2021 (3,000-acre basis). This program will be transferred to new owners upon closing. These payments follow the growth of the trees and should increase in the coming years.
