Entire Farm Description:

SELLING ABSOLUTE: This 397.97± acre agricultural and recreational property is located in Lake County, Tennessee, positioned between the Mississippi River and Reelfoot Lake in one of West Tennessee’s most established row-crop production corridors. The farm is comprised of five tracts and sits within a region long recognized for consistent agricultural performance driven by fertile Delta soils, dependable moisture, and efficient access. A boundary survey is currently being conducted, and final acreages will be determined upon completion.

The property is dominated by proven Mississippi River alluvial soils, including Bowdre, Bruin, Commerce, Reelfoot, and Roellen series. These soil types are widely regarded among operators for their high fertility, excellent moisture-holding capacity, and yield consistency, forming the foundation for sustained row-crop production across this area. The acreage is largely tillable with limited timbered areas, allowing efficient field layouts and compatibility with modern farming practices.

Agricultural improvements include three natural gas–powered irrigation wells, with natural gas lines in place to serve the well pumps. Electric lines run along several parcels. According to available information, the farm was formerly serviced by center pivot irrigation. While irrigation pivots are not currently installed, the existing wells and utility infrastructure provide an irrigation-ready, pivot-capable foundation, offering flexibility for a future owner to design and install irrigation systems tailored to their cropping program, equipment preferences, and management strategy.

The tracts benefit from excellent access via a combination of paved and chip-and-seal road frontage, supporting efficient movement of equipment, inputs, and harvest traffic. The property lies approximately one mile inside the Mississippi River levee system and approximately three miles from Reelfoot Lake, placing it in the heart of a highly productive Delta landscape.

Beyond its agricultural strength, the farm’s location is a defining feature for waterfowl. Positioned directly between the Mississippi River and Reelfoot Lake, the property sits within the Mississippi Flyway—one of the most heavily traveled migratory routes for ducks and geese in North America. This corridor is widely recognized for waterfowl movement, staging, and seasonal concentration, making the area highly attractive to hunters who understand the importance of location in waterfowl management.

From both an operational and recreational standpoint, this farm offers a rare combination: highly productive row-crop ground supported by proven Delta soils and irrigation infrastructure, paired with a location squarely in the center of one of the most respected waterfowl corridors in the region. Properties in this part of Lake County are valued for their ability to support long-term agricultural production while also offering meaningful waterfowl potential when managed accordingly.

Tract 5 Description:

Tract 5 consists of 51.33± acres of prime waterfowl habitat featuring a highly effective mix of wetlands, timber, native grasses, and productive cropland. This diversity creates natural holding power for migrating waterfowl while maintaining flexibility for active land management.

The combination of food sources, cover, and water allows this tract to function as a complete, self-contained waterfowl setup rather than a single-use parcel. The cropland component provides the ability to influence bird movement through crop selection or post-harvest management, while timber and grasses offer shelter and loafing areas throughout the season. These features work together to create consistent use during migration, not just pass-through traffic.

Access is provided by paved and chip-and-seal road frontage, supporting easy entry for management, equipment, and seasonal use. Tract 5 does not include an irrigation well, reinforcing its role as a habitat-driven parcel rather than a row-crop tract.

Located between the Mississippi River and Reelfoot Lake, this tract sits directly in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, a location that consistently benefits from high-volume migratory movement. Properties with this type of habitat diversity and positioning are increasingly difficult to assemble in this corridor, making Tract 5 a strong standalone offering or a complementary addition to nearby agricultural ownership.
