Description
Welcome to 701± acres in Prentiss County, Mississippi - a large, multi-use tract offering a strong combination of merchantable timber, wildlife habitat, and investment opportunity. This property is designed to meet the needs of land and timber buyers first, while also appealing to those interested in hunting, recreation, and potential rural development.
The timber resource here is significant. The tract includes multiple pine stands planted in 2002, 2015, and 2021, offering staggered age classes that provide both short-term income and long-term growth. For land investors or timber operators, the merchantable timber is ready for harvest planning, while younger stands support future yields. The layout allows for phased management over time, with stand diversity supporting market flexibility.
The internal infrastructure is a key asset, with a well-established road system providing access across the entire property. Dual access points from both the east and west give you flexibility for operational access or recreational entry, depending on wind direction — a valuable feature for hunters and wildlife managers. This setup also helps reduce disturbance to wildlife and improves the functionality of the tract for year-round use.
Eight wildlife openings are already in place, ideal for food plots or habitat enhancements. Multiple natural waterways run throughout the property, contributing to habitat diversity and providing water sources for game species. With its combination of upland and lowland terrain, varied timber cover, and edge habitat, this property supports healthy populations of deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. Established wildlife corridors make identifying movement patterns easy and planning management or hunting strategies accordingly.
The property also has paved county road frontage, and utilities are available at the road, including electric, water, and fiber internet. These features not only support timber and recreational use but also open the door for long-term development options, whether for a private cabin, a rural residence, or a potential subdivision.
In terms of location, this tract is well-positioned for convenience without sacrificing privacy. It’s just 6 miles from the Booneville-Baldwyn Airport and only 29 miles from Tupelo. Bay Springs Lake — known for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation — is just 21 miles away, and Mill Creek Marina on Pickwick Lake is about 40 miles to the north. These nearby destinations enhance the recreational value of the property and provide easy access to supplies, services, and outdoor activities.
This 701± acre property stands out for its timber value, wildlife habitat, access, and development potential. Whether you're looking to invest, recreate, or build, this tract offers the scale and features to support a range of long-term goals.
