What an incredible sporting property opportunity in Hyde County North Carolina. I was speaking with a gentleman a few days ago and he reminded me of a trip we made down Outfall Canal Road a number of years ago and that as we passed this property, he commented to me about how awesome it would be to own this farm. He reminded me that my comment was, "it certainly would but I doubt you'll ever see this farm go on the market." Well, I was wrong! St. Margaret's Farm is now officially available. +/-415 acres in the heart of arguably the best waterfowling on the East Coast. 260 acres of productive farmland of which 250 acres can be flooded in the fall and winter creating a duck hunting paradise and drained again in spring to resume farming practices. That's a lot of water and if managed well will produce exceptional duck hunting. Trophy black bears and other wildlife are abundant on the property as well. World class bears over 600 pounds have been harvested on this farm. It sits just south of Lake Mattamuskeet in a proven flyway between the lake and the sound nestled in almost 30,000 acres of NCWRC gamelands, national wildlife refuge and private wildlife sanctuary.   

To a waterfowler, Lake Mattamuskeet needs no introduction. "Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula in Hyde County, North Carolina, was established in 1934. The refuge consists of 50,180 acres of open water, marsh, timber, and croplands. The refuge’s main feature is the shallow 40,000 acre Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest natural lake in North Carolina...The refuge’s strategic location along the Atlantic Flyway makes it a vitally important stopover for wintering waterfowl. Over the past 35 years, up to 80 percent of the northern pintail and up to 30 percent of green-winged teal that annually migrate along the Flyway utilize Mattamuskeet NWR. In total, the refuge attracts more than 200,000 ducks, geese and swans from November through February." https://www.fws.gov/refuge/mattamuskeet/about-us
