Offered for sale is a rare opportunity to acquire membership into Calotche Blackwater Hunting Club, a well-established, family-friendly hunting club located in the historic White River bottoms. The offering is for a one-seventh (1/7) ownership of the club’s land and facilities.
Calotche Blackwater consists of 1,525 +/- acres in Prairie County, Arkansas. The property is located inside the White River levee and bordered to the west by the White River, featuring over two miles of river frontage. Calotche Blackwater is a true year-round recreation club with turn-key amenities, ready for use immediately this hunting season.
The White River bottoms are well-known for high-quality waterfowl and whitetail deer hunting and Calotche Blackwater possesses excellent opportunities for both. The club also features Horseshoe Lake, an approximate 93-acre oxbow lake, offering additional duck hunting and fishing opportunities. In the northwest corner of the property, another approximate seven-acre oxbow lake, Alligator Lake, provides further duck hunting and fishing opportunities.
Deer stands are placed strategically throughout the property overlooking food plots. Additional deer hunting opportunities can be found throughout the network of trails in the hardwood bottoms around Horseshoe Lake.
Moist soil units (MSU) are located throughout the property, offering diverse duck hunting locations with habitat for holding ducks. Additionally, when the White River level reaches approximately 18 feet at the Des Arc gauge, water will fill other areas of the club property, presenting more opportunities within the hardwoods for highly-sought Arkansas green timber duck hunting.
No less than a few miles from the clubhouse, the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge can be accessed to further expand the waterfowl and whitetail hunting opportunities the club offers. The well-known 800-acre Plunkett Farm Waterfowl Sanctuary and the North Unit Waterfowl Sanctuary are located within a few miles of the property. Both are designated Farm Units where the USFWS leaves unharvested agriculture crops for waterfowl resting habitat.
Additionally, the White River can be accessed at Des Arc, unlocking further potential for fishing and boating recreation.
