Pecan Point Tipton County, Tennessee, and Mississippi County, Arkansas

Details & Features

Pecan Point, also known as Island 35, is land for sale in Arkansas that is expansive, remote, scenic, and wild sporting property encompassing over 6,000 acres, spanning both Arkansas and Tennessee. The land is inside the Mississippi River levee, 20 miles upriver from Memphis and 35 miles south of the Missouri line, as the crow flies. This region is known as the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, commonly referred to as the Delta, marked by its fertile farmland, distinct culture, and rich wildlife resources. The property features a bottomland hardwood forest with towering mature trees distributed across the acreage, alongside new-growth timberland. The woodland terrain is a mix of rolling elevation giving way to low-lying flats, punctuated by river-fed lakes and sloughs, wildlife food plots, and a sound road system. Pecan Point also features improved tillable cropland and various sites for building improvements. Since 2015, the land has been stewarded in accordance with professional wildlife management and conservation protocols, while also offering balanced, fair-chase hunting opportunities. The landscape provides the hunter conservationist an unspoiled and diverse wildlife habitat, supporting an abundance of trophy whitetail deer and wild turkeys. The property sits in the Mississippi Flyway, and when conditions are right, wintering waterfowl concentrate on the property’s wetland habitat and flooded crop fields. The presence of prominent adjacent hunting properties, combined with nearby federal and state refuges, creates an estimated 55,900-plus acres of valuable wildlife habitat. This context elevates Pecan Point beyond its already impressive boundaries. The historic and charming village of Wilson, Arkansas, is within seven miles of Pecan Point’s private gate. Pecan Point is not just land for sale in Arkansas, but a story of a distinct location, exceptional wildlife, and land stewardship, offering four-season opportunities and development options for those who value the hunting and outdoor lifestyle.

Acreage

Pecan Point encompasses 6,059.10 total deeded acres, of which 77% is in the state of Tennessee and 23% is in the state of Arkansas. The property consists of two distinct controlled tracts: a mainland of 3,647.52 acres in Tennessee and an island of 2,411.58 acres in Arkansas and Tennessee. The land is characterized by a diversified, contiguous landscape, defined by established middle to old-growth hardwood timber and land reforested under the Wetlands Reserve Program. Comprised primarily of native bottomland hardwoods, the forest offers cottonwood, pecan, sycamore, elm, ash, willow, maple, sweetgum, and a variety of acorn-producing oak species. Dispersed throughout the property are wildlife food plots, open green-strip corridors, willow-lined lakes, river-fed sloughs, and scrub-shrub wetlands. The terrain features an undulating topography carved by the Mississippi River, ranging from low-lying flats to gentle rolling ridges. A portion of the mainland is cultivated for crop production, with the majority of these acres located in the far north portion. The Mississippi River, which fronts the land for over eight miles, defines the eastern boundary, and Booker Chute defines the majority of the western boundary, providing seven miles of riparian frontage. Adjoining the northwest for one and a quarter miles is privately managed hunting land under a conservation easement, which completes the boundary. Pecan Point spans eight miles from north to south and one and a half miles from west to east, has a perimeter of 23.5 miles, and features over 60 miles of sound interior roads and trails.
