Oak Mound Searcy, AR 72143

This newly developed property, Oak Mound, is located in the heart of one of Arkansas’ most productive flyways, northwest of Des Arc. The property consists of 321.07 surveyed acres of bottomland hardwoods in excellent condition. The newly impounded green tree reservoir (GTR) is designed to attract and hold mallards, lying directly in the path of ducks trading between the Bayou Des Arc / Cypress Creek drainage and the Raft Creek Bottoms of the White River. Construction on the GTR began in the summer of 2022 and was completed the following summer, featuring over four miles of perimeter and cross levees that have created a diverse habitat with consistent depths for feeding and loafing waterfowl. Other parts have been left thick for thermal cover and to further promote diversity. The bottomland oaks have no stress from previous water mismanagement. Parts of the GTR have been thinned, mulched, and planted in corn, milo, rice, and millet to attract ducks and provide diversity. The current owners have flown corn onto the impoundment three times in order to attract and imprint ducks to the property. The parcel is in close proximity to Raft Creek WMA, the White River, Bald Knob NWR, and Hurricane WMA. The property has new water control structures on all impoundments and three new six-inch electric submersible wells to fill the impoundment. The east basin will also naturally fill with rainfall via a drainage from the north, through a gated water control structure. The property also features two permanent Muddy brand tower deer stands located on wildlife food plots with supplemental feeders, and a permanent duck blind located on one of the food plot acres that accommodates 6-8 hunters. The property includes productive deer hunting with potential for giant whitetails.
