Lost Brake: The Island - A Legendary Mississippi Flyway Sanctuary Known simply as "The Island," the centerpiece of the renowned Lost Brake series is available for acquisition. This 2026 offering represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most iconic and managed recreational hunting properties in the Southeast Missouri Delta. Surrounded by a natural moat of security created by the shifting geography of the Mississippi River system, this premier island retreat offers a level of seclusion and ducky habitat that is virtually impossible to replicate on your standard Delta farm. A Masterclass in Wildlife Management The Island is a case study in habitat stewardship. Comprised of a diverse mix of flooded cypress and tupelo breaks, high-energy moist soil units, and meticulously managed food plots, this property has been set up to attract huge concentrations of mallards, while simultaneously feeding and sheltering the balanced populations of deer and turkey that reside on the island. The natural thermal protection of the thick natural "Brake" timber, combined with water-control infrastructure, ensures that this property remains a high-performance waterfowl sanctuary even during the harshest of weather conditions. Meanwhile, the seclusion and privacy of the island allows for the practice of unrestricted quality deer and turkey management like very few tracts can offer. This facilitates ample opportunities to grow and hold both trophy deer, and an abundunt number of gobblers. With gobbling turkeys in the spring, fishing in the summer, rutting bucks in the fall, and mallards in flooded timber in the winter, this island truly is an all-season workhorse. Proven Tract With Turnkey Infrastructure Beyond the world-class hunting, the property features a custom built camphouse- a facility designed for the fellowship of the hunt. The camp is set up to sleep 20+ guests, and boasts ample space to host both inside and out. The front porch is an 800 sq. ft. crowd favorite, overlooking the Mississippi River and providing the perfect venue to recap the day's hunt. The property comes ready for the 2026-2027 season with established food plots, permanent blinds, and multiple seasons worth of documented success. The most difficult chapters of The Island's story-the years of barging building materials across the Mississippi and fighting the rising tides to establish infrastructure-are complete. This property is being sold fully turn-key, including the essential barge for vehicle and equipment transport, as well as a fleet of management equipment. From the fully furnished, media-famous camp, to the last water-control structure, you are buying a polished, high-performance machine.
