Property Descriptions: This property is for the most part a large river bottom farm. Several of the parcels are levee protected, however some are not. Several tracts with upland tillable acres as well. The farm for the past decade or two was developed into one of the finest waterfowl hunting places you will ever find. In fact it is the hub of the Northern Carlyle Lake area for waterfowl. This property has served as a core, a refuge one may say, to an entire area that has been developed by like minded waterfowl enthusiasts. This property and adjacent developed properties have only complimented each other and improved the overall success and habitat for waterfowl hunters. When flying this property, it is amazing the amount of land in this region totally devoted to waterfowl hunting, and I certainly hope it remains that way. Crop productivity has not been top priority in the past, however the soil ratings on this farm are awesome for this area with a range of 125 to 180 on U of I corn averages. That said, I have been hired to do a job and that’s to market and sell this property to the highest bidder and that’s what we intend on doing. Good Luck & Thanks Todd

Waterfowl Hunters: I am not going to pretend to know and to tell you how good each parcel is compared to another in the descriptions. Most of you know more about the waterfowl hunting here than I do. We all know the potential for this area is of World Class and I too am a duck hunter and hope it remains the waterfowl Mecca it is today.

Farmers: Again you all know this property for the most part. You all know it’s flooded and has been managed for ducks for the past 20 years and that adds some adversities to you as farmers. If you own it, you can handle how you wish.

Investors: You guys have several avenues on this land. For one the cash rent for most of these tracts will be at or near the $200 per acre mark, and if the waterfowl hunting was to end and strictly go to a farm operation, you would likely see much more than that. However, you could lease the property to farmers for farming and to hunters as well. The hunting on this property is world-renowned and would command good lease money, kind of like double dipping you might say. In addition much of the bottomland will qualify for CRP and possibly even the CREP program. In many cases these payments will far exceed farmland rent and you still can lease to hunters for hunting.

This property is selling absolute....that means regardless of sale price, there will be new owners after the auction. So come prepared to bid and have your financing in place prior to bidding.

Tract #3 – 126. 2 acres with 85 tillable. Great waterfowl hunting and tillable land. Middle of Pecan Island.

Tract #4 – 240 acres with 152 tillable. I certainly don’t have to tell you waterfowl hunters about the lower end of Pecan Island! I am not even going to pretend to try and explain just how good this can be as you already know! Excellent deer hunting.

Tract #5 - 117 acres with nearly 75 tillable. Almost a mile of river frontage.

Tract #6 – 88 acres and 60+ tillable. Situated on the East side of Pecan Island. Excellent income producer for CRP, farming or waterfowl hunting.

Tract #8 – 26 acres mostly tillable in several fields. Great place to train a bird dog, build a home or just enjoy the country.

Tract #9 – 78 acres with 56 tillable. Farming or CRP for income. The ducks going between Pecan Island and Carlyle are likely going to fly over this tract. A nice flooded field here would be the berries!

Tract #10 - 51 acres with a couple of small fields totaling 10 acres. Folks, this has a river camp, great river access, easy access from the road and great deer hunting potential. If you like river life, this may be just what you are looking for.

Tract #11 - 40 acres with some tillable, some waterfowl hunting, a pond, deer hunting and right size to be affordable and very diverse.

Tract #12 – 88.44 acres with FSA indicating mostly tillable. Great farm tract and great waterfowl hunting, not much else to say.

Tract #13 - 45.75 acres with 41 tillable. Similar to tract 12, just half the size and maybe a tad bit better hunting!

Tract #15 - 96 acres with 87.66 tillable. Just a nice farm field and good place to shoot some waterfowl also!

Tract #26 – 40 acres bordering Carlyle Lake and surrounded by great waterfowl habitat! Just fantastic waterfowl hunting and potentially great deer hunting!
Tract #27 – 94.93 acres with 55 acres listed as FSA tillable. However these tillable acres are really not tillable. This is however a wonderful deer patch with a nice duck hole!
Tract #28 – 40 acres with 37.82 tillable. Great little duck hole also on this tract.
Tract #29 – 40 acres 19.52 tillable with really only 8 acres truly tillable. Balance was in CRP but is out now. Great little deer patch.
Tract #30 – 36 acres with 26 tillable. Nice home site, pasture for a few horses, deer hunting or just farming the tillable acres. This small tract has much to offer someone looking to enjoy the country.
