1,200 Acres at Whistle Place Farm in Phillips County, AR

Welcome to Whistle Place Farm located in the Mississippi River Bottom, one of the most game-rich areas in the United States. If you look for land along the Mississippi River, you will find plenty of equity share clubs, but not much private ownership remains. Whistle Place lies just eight miles southwest of the Helena Bridge in Phillips County, Arkansas and is accessed by Road 418. After crossing the levee, you will feel the privacy that comes with over 1,200+/- privately owned acres (additional acreage available). Once you are near the Mississippi River you will see the lodge on the top of a hill, overlooking the river. The gravel driveway to the lodge is nearly one mile long. The current owner constructed the slab foundation cabin on a man-made hill instead of building it on stilts. No need to carry your furniture or groceries upstairs! Surprisingly, the cabin did not flood during the catastrophic 2011 flood so no worry there. Actually, you can drive to the cabin until the Helena gauge reaches 40 feet. The owner also built up more land for additional cabin sites, in the event multiple folks would like to build in the future. The 2,600± square foot lodge was constructed in 2006 and features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a great room/kitchen combo with gorgeous views of the river. The utilities include city water, power, and septic sewer. Outside, you will find a fireplace, cook station, and walk-in cooler. There is also a pole barn for your land maintenance equipment. As you leave the camp area, just pick a road. The miles and miles of roads with the MS River levee road will lead you anywhere you want to go without blowing out your entire farm. The whole property (minus the 14± acre lodge site) was enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Program meaning this place will be an unspoiled recreational paradise until the end of time. You will notice that the development has been done in years past and it will only get better and better. When talking about deer hunting in the southeast, the Mississippi River will quickly become a topic and Whistle Place Farm is no different. The deer hunting is already on a trophy level and should only improve. Numerous wildlife plots are in place with most being equipped with stands. The biggest deer to date is a 163” 8-point bow kill. The Mississippi River flyway has been known for great duck hunting for as long as most people can remember, and Whistle Place sits right in the heart of it. When you put rice and corn a few hundred yards from the river channel, it’s a disastrous recipe for the ducks. Two, diesel engine driven wells are in place to guarantee water. The turkey population is thriving with little pressure in recent years. The wintering months should bring wing shooting in the mornings and whitetail chasing in the afternoons. During the summer months, you are sure to find a good eddy on the MS River to catch a catfish or a rock dike to go after those striped bass. You can easily imagine the whole family, not just immediate members, enjoying a place like this for hunting, fishing, boating, riding, a getaway, you name it for years and years to come. The possibilities are endless at Whistle Place Farm. If you have been wanting your own private Mississippi River Bottom paradise, call today for your private tour of Whistle Place Farm!
