An hour and half away from San Francisco is this beautiful 388± acre duck club that can be yours!The property is part of the Suisun Marsh on the Southside of the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area. The 388-acre parcel is 19 miles South of Suisun City off Grizzly Island Road on Van Sickle Island. The property has a proven track record with waterfowl and is a tremendous opportunity to hunt ducks or just get away and enjoy the myriad of wildlife.There are two separate ponds that are flooded directly from the Roaring River which provides the freshest water in the marsh. Numerous improvements to the water control infrastructure have been made in the last few years in order to provide for precise control of water levels and improved waterfowl hunting habitat. Within those two ponds are fifteen blinds spread out through the property which allows for numerous hunting parties to shoot at the same time. The layout of the property provides easy access to the blinds by car or ATV (or boat if desired) or simply just walk out the front door with wader and gun. For the fisherman, there is excellent striper and sturgeon fishing just steps from the clubhouse along the Roaring River.At the North/West portion of the property sits a beautiful clubhouse that was elevated in 2013 to sit safely above any potential flood levels. There are seven bedrooms and four full bathrooms, with a wader room to store all of your hunting gear. The clubhouse underwent an extensive interior and exterior renovation in 2017 to create a rustic warmth with modern amenities. This could easily be someone's full-time residence or your weekend/hunting season getaway. The south structure has a large open kitchen and dining space for entertaining and a comfortable living room area with a built-in fireplace. The four-season sunroom provides expansive views across the entire property as well as the island. The ability to watch the birds work the ponds and blinds from the comfort of your own home is unsurpassed! There is also a spacious master bedroom and bathroom w/ additional bedroom and bath. The northern structure has four bedrooms and a game room that could be used as another bedroom. The proximity to San Francisco and the amenities in the clubhouse means you could even hunt in the mornings and be back to town in time for your morning meetings. Next to the clubhouse is a Conex storage Box that serves as a workshop and can accommodate ATVs, decoys, or anything else you might want or need for your hunting or land management. As far as duck clubs go in the Suisun, management of River Dog is relatively simple and can be accomplished easily by an owner or a part-time caretaker if desired.This property is a turn-key hunting club that can be yours today and is ready to go for the upcoming season!
