540 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in Marianna, Arkansas

Life abounds where two bodies of water meet. The Delta is the land of big deer, flocks of waterfowl, game turkeys and fierce fisheries. The Delta's high-quality game is a product of its flowing waters and fertile soils. The Hannon Devers Historic Hunting Club offers both beautiful flowing waters and deeply fertile soils. This place's waters are powerful. The property features St. Francis River frontage, a private cypress-laden lake, and Phillips Bayou flowing into the St. Francis. Springs can be found throughout the property. Nestled among the cypress are waterfowl, fish, hogs, turkey, and whitetail. Seasonal floods increase the size of these waters, which in turn increases the habitat, opportunity, and fertility. The waters of this place yield abundance. The property is green like an emerald and fertile - evidence of true husbandry. Most of this property has been owned by one family for more than 100 years. They have lovingly taken care of it so that the wildlife and land here have thrived. Selective timber harvests have provided light and space. As such, browse is abundant. Trails are cared for and well-defined. The forest is still filled with mature timber oaks, cypress, and even a few pecans. A true jewel. The whitetail herd on the property is abundant and healthy. A visit to the property always yields a view of these amazing animals. The cover is plentiful, but not so plentiful that shooting lanes do not exist.
