Lincoln Ranch Duck Club
Butte County, California

---

LOCATION: 797.1 acres located at the north end of District 10, between Lower Honcut Road and Central House Road, 2.5 miles east of Highway 70. The property is intersected by the Middle Honcut Road.

INGRESS &  EGRESS: The ranch is easily accessed from all three of these Butte County maintained roads mentioned above. 

WATER:  The ranch has 797.1 acres of wetlands and seasonal marsh land.  This ranch has a self contained irrigation system including six (6) deep wells, powered by PG&E energy and one (1) low lift pump. This system supplies quality water for flooding the wetland area very efficiently. 

WILDLIFE EASEMENT:  There is approximately 737 acres, m/l, placed into a U.S. Fish Wildlife Easement.  This ranch is now a beautiful Riparian wetland and greatly enhances the attraction of wintering waterfowl annually.  The beauty & attractiveness to draw waterfowl, pheasants and upland game on the easement grounds is very impressive.

IMPROVEMENTS:  Several building sites have been set aside from the ‘easement’ area.  There is also approximately 60 acres, m/l, of farmland excluded from the “easement” area.

DUCK BLINDS:      The duck and goose area is all natural habitat with eight #8 two man (stand-up) platform blinds, and one #2 man pit blind blending into the native wetland vegetation.  There is a gravel path (walkway) for easy access to each blind location.

TOPOGRAPHY:      The ranch has a very diverse topography.  The native riparian habitat and the seasonal marsh land are a “classic picture” of the old historic California wetlands.

MANAGEMENT:    The present caretaker manages the wetlands in producing heavy crops of waterfowl food (swamp timothy, watergrass, smartweed and bulrush tule).  The easement wetlands are located in the lower elevations of the ranch and irrigate very efficiently.

PROXIMITY TO DISTRICT 10 WATERFOWL AREA:  The ranch’s superior location is right in the middle of a major corridor of the Pacific Flyway between the famous District 10 waterfowl area and the Oroville wildlife area (Lake Oroville).  This location ensures that waterfowl will always be using this area for excellent hunting success in the future.

COMMENTS:  I personally visited this duck club all through the 2008-2009 waterfowl season and during the last week of the season I met with several of the owners at 11:00 a.m. on a beautiful “Blue Bird” day of crystal clear calm weather.  All of the owner members had limited out as they had done on every “shoot day” of the season last year.  I toured the club that afternoon (1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and witnessed more waterfowl than I have ever experienced my entire 50 years of waterfowling.  How exciting was it to see literally layers and layers of waterfowl by the thousands coming out of the high stratosphere to rest on this beautiful wetland!!  I can highly recommend the Lincoln Ranch as a premier “Duck Factory” in our State.  This is waterfowl hunting at its best and at a very responsible price!

price: $2,350,000 ($2,948/acre).
