Welcome to the Lake 252-a premier, turnkey waterfowl hunting and income-producing farm located just outside of Tiptonville in Lake County, Tennessee, the heart of one of the most recognized flyways in the country. Surrounded by renowned destinations such as the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge, the Black Bayou Refuge, the Lake Isom National Wildlife Refuge, the Bogota Wildlife Management Area, and the Thorny Cypress Wildlife Management Area, this 252± acre property sits in a proven corridor for consistent duck migration and exceptional hunting opportunities.
Designed with both performance and convenience in mind, the Lake 252 has been extensively improved to deliver a true turnkey experience. It features four strategically placed duck blinds along with a newly constructed pit and floating blind installed in 2025. Four wells-two equipped with underground piping running directly to blind locations-ensure dependable water control even in the harshest winter conditions. A refurbished pivot system with updated wiring, along with four power units, supports efficient water management across five established impoundments, all controlled by seven water control structures.
The Lake 252 offers excellent access and infrastructure, including a gated entrance, a gravel drive, a dedicated parking area, and a boat ramp with ditches cut for easy navigation to the primary blind setups. In addition to its recreational appeal, the Lake 252 provides strong agricultural income through cultivated farmland, with a crop plan that includes approximately 40 acres of standing corn for the 2026 season to enhance waterfowl habitat, while the remaining acreage is planted in soybeans. A sunflower field along Levee Phillippy Road adds seasonal dove hunting opportunities, further diversifying the recreational value.
A standout feature of the property is a beautiful, well-positioned build site located along Earl Trim Road-offering the perfect setting for a future hunting lodge or cabin. With convenient access, privacy, and scenic surroundings, this location provides an ideal base camp to enjoy everything the farm has to offer.
Whether operated personally or supplemented with blind leases, this property has the potential to deliver returns exceeding 5% annually when combining farm income and hunting revenue. With a designated lodge site and a track record of production and hunting success, the Lake 252 stands out as a rare opportunity to own a fully developed, income-generating waterfowl property in a premier location. This farm is built to perform, and one serious hunters and investors should strongly consider!
