Bidding ends Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 10AM

Mississippi River Island 476 in Calhoun County, IL located north of the Mozier Landing and directly east of the Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge (CCNWR) will be selling to the highest bidder with an opening bid of $28k. The island is approximately 27 acres and has mature woods throughout. There is a 4± acre duck hole with annuals millet and smartweed that the owner floods for waterfowl hunting. The location is ideal as the CCNWR covers 3,750 acres of Mississippi River floodplain. It was established to provide a feeding and resting area for migratory birds, and it is not uncommon for the refuge to be holding 100k+ at a time during the peak of hunting season. Seeing birds will not be a problem.

The closest boat ramps appear to be the Mozier Landing (1.2 miles) on the Illinois side and the Hamburg access (3 miles) on the Missouri side. Whether you are a waterfowl enthusiast, or a deer hunter be sure to give Island 476 a look. These river islands are normally overlooked due to the access but often loaded with wildlife because of it.

Real estate taxes – $108.00
