Description

Extremely rare opportunity to own a true hunter's base camp in one of the most sought-after wildlife corridors along the Mississippi River. This 13+ acre tract sits on a quiet rural county road surrounded by productive river bottom farm ground and large areas of government-owned habitat known for outstanding deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunting. The property is located next to the Middle Mississippi River Wetland Field Station, an area that attracts hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts from multiple states, making this an ideal location for a private hunting camp, recreational retreat, or weekend getaway. One of the most unique features you will find on any property in this region is the mature pecan grove. The property includes over 160 mature pecan trees planted in rows, creating a park-like setting that is extremely hard to find. Large, established pecan groves of this size are rare and provide both natural beauty and a valuable food source for wildlife or profit. The grove, along with scattered timber and a row of mature cypress trees, gives the land a secluded feel while still offering open usable ground for camping, RVs, or future building. The property also features a newer pond plus a second pond near the rear woods line, adding water, scenery, and additional wildlife attraction. Electric and water are already on site, making it easy to set up campers, build a cabin, or create the ultimate hunting headquarters. Plenty of room for multiple RVs, equipment, and gatherings while still feeling completely private. Despite the secluded setting, the location is very convenient. Less than 5 minutes to a small village or just across the Mississippi River to the thriving University town of Cape Girardeau, MO... 1.5 hours and you could be in St. Louis, MO. Properties with utilities, ponds, a mature pecan grove, and direct access to prime Mississippi River hunting ground rarely come on the market. This is a unique chance to own your own recreational getaway in one of the best hunting areas in the region.
