Blackfish Compound is a 65.42+/- acre Arkansas hunting and recreational property in St. Francis County, located approximately 5 miles west of Hughes. Situated at the confluence of Frenchman's Bayou and Blackfish Bayou, the property combines a substantial residence and guest apartment with a private hunting headquarters, controlled waterfowl habitat, shop, and established recreational improvements. Conveniently located within driving distance of Memphis, Tennessee, Blackfish Compound offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort, recreation, and income-producing potential. The centerpiece of the property is a fenced two-acre headquarters situated above the bayou. Improvements include a 4,000-square-foot main residence, approximately 750-square-foot guest apartment, attached garage/game room, 30x40 shop, and multiple additional outbuildings. Recent improvements include a new roof, two new water heaters, and a new A/C unit, providing meaningful updates to the property's major systems. The main house features three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a vaulted great room, formal dining room, study, laundry room, and granite-counter kitchen. Hardwood, tile, and vinyl flooring run throughout the home. A surveillance system provides added security when the property is unoccupied. The home is well suited for year-round living but equally comfortable as the headquarters for a hunting camp or family retreat. The separate apartment includes one bedroom, one bath, kitchen, and sitting area, making it ideal for guests, family, caretakers, or additional hunters. The attached garage is currently configured as a game room and connects directly to the 30x40 shop, providing ample room for equipment, tools, ATVs, boats, and general storage. Outdoor living is a major part of the Blackfish experience. Behind the house, a covered BBQ shack overlooks Blackfish Bayou, creating a natural gathering place for family and friends. The setup is made for Delta camp life, grilling, gathering, fishing, relaxing by the water, and even shooting skeet from the deck. A boat ramp provides direct access to Blackfish Bayou, adding another dimension to the property's recreational appeal. The headquarters also includes a chicken coop and greenhouse, offering opportunities for gardening, small-scale homesteading, or simply enjoying the property beyond hunting season. Beyond the fenced headquarters, the property transitions into productive recreational ground. A well and levee system provide controlled water for a private waterfowl impoundment, while the surrounding landscape consists of heavily managed CRP and other agricultural and recreational properties. The property is near Mud Lake Duck Club and other established waterfowl holdings, placing it in proven Arkansas Delta duck country. The waterfowl setup has also been improved with a new duck pit blind and a large metal boat converted to a duck blind, giving a new owner additional options for hunting the property and surrounding waterways. The hunting opportunities extend well beyond waterfowl. The property supports a strong deer herd with established stand locations, while hogs regularly travel the bayou corridors and turkey are commonly seen roosting along the waterways. Fishing is available on both Frenchman's Bayou and Blackfish Bayou, providing another year-round recreational option. The property also offers an existing income component. Approximately $4,000 in annual crop rent and $12,000 in hunting lease income provide revenue from agricultural and recreational uses. Depending on the buyer's objectives, additional income potential may exist through government programs, agricultural use, and the guest apartment. Blackfish Compound is ultimately about versatility. It can serve as a private hunting camp, full-time residence, family retreat, recreational property, or income-producing investment.
