For the Price of a San Francisco Condo, You Can Buy a 400-Acre Historic Marshland Retreat

A 400-acre marsh property which has served as hunter's have for more than a century has hit the market for $1.5 million. Concord Farms Duck Club in Suisun City, CA consists of a 16-bedroom, three-bathroom clubhouse. “It’s just a place where these guys can go out and shoot ducks. It's been going on for like 100 years plus,” explains listing agent John Ward with California Outdoor Properties. He adds that the hunters take boats out to duck blinds in the marsh where they wait. "You have your duck call and your shotgun, and you start blowing your whistle or your duck call, and hopefully some birds come in.”Ward says there are about 160 duck clubs in the Suisun Marsh area, with many of them dating back more than a hundred years. Hunters buy memberships in the clubs.“There's just kind of a changing of the guard a little bit now with some of the older guys just getting older,” Ward says. “[With] this particular club, the members took a vote and decided whether they were going to make an effort to try to get new blood into the club, or [if] they were all kind of ready to hand the torch to the next group. So, they just decided to sell the property.”Loading...The property is about 1.5 hours ...
