The Bayou Meto Reserve is 777.91 surveyed acres in Lonoke County, Arkansas offering a very rare opportunity to acquire historically proven impounded green timber and complementary agricultural acreage in close proximity to Little Rock. The property consists of one large contiguous tract in the Bayou Meto flyway with over 1.5 miles of frontage along the infamous bayou. The property has 260 acres of impounded green timber in four total impoundments that can all be artificially flooded. The irrigation capabilities have been enhanced so that the primary green timber reservoir is flooded by the two re-lifts in the bayou which is better for the health of the timber long term versus well water. The bottomland hardwoods have been well cared for and the main impoundment was designed to manage water to keep optimal flood depth even during periods of high water. The timber is in excellent condition...
The Bayou Meto Reserve is 777.91 surveyed acres in Lonoke County, Arkansas offering a very rare opportunity to acquire historically proven impounded green timber and complementary agricultural acreage in close proximity to Little Rock. The property consists of one large contiguous tract in the Bayou Meto flyway with over 1.5 miles of frontage along the infamous bayou. The property has 260 acres of impounded green timber in four total impoundments that can all be artificially flooded. The irrigation capabilities have been enhanced so that the primary green timber reservoir is flooded by the two re-lifts in the bayou which is better for the health of the timber long term versus well water. The bottomland hardwoods have been well cared for and the main impoundment was designed to manage water to keep optimal flood depth even during periods of high water. The timber is in excellent condition and the largest reservoir in particular has an impressive stand of red-oaks. Three of the four reservoirs can be accessed by side by side, and the largest reservoir has a sharp one slip boat house at the northwest corner.
The Farm Service Agency reports a total of 432 tillable acres all of which are irrigated. All of the tillable acres have been leveled, and 90 acres are leveled to a zero grade. These fields are critical to the consistent success of the green timber reservoirs because they flank the main impoundment on the northern, western, and southern sides. The field immediately to the south of the main GTR has been converted to duck habitat & managed for native grasses. Taking additional acreage out of agricultural production and planting more food for waterfowl would only strengthen the excellent hunting the property already boasts. On the western portion of the property there is a nice lodge site in a small pecan orchard that would offer outstanding views of the rest fields and all utilities are available.
