240 Acres of Premier Longleaf Timber & Quail Plantation - South, MS
Rarely does a property of this quality and character become available. This exceptional 240 acre longleaf timber tract offers a unique combination of current income, quality timber, wildlife habitat, and high-end recreational opportunities. Properties with this level of longleaf management, established prescribed-fire history, and recreational potential are increasingly difficult to find. Loated in southern Mississippi, just 90 minutes from New Orleans, LA and 30 minutes form Hattiesburg, MS.
Approximately 160 acres are currently in longleaf pine production, providing an established pine straw income stream while continuing to build long-term timber value. The property has been carefully maintained for decades with a consistent prescribed burning program, creating the open, park-like character and excellent understory conditions that make well-managed longleaf forests so desirable.
The property is equally impressive from a recreational standpoint. The combination of longleaf pine, open understory, established trails, and mature hardwood habitat creates outstanding conditions for a private quail plantation, hunting preserve, or premier recreational retreat. Wildlife opportunities include bobwhite quail, wild turkey, and whitetail deer, with the property offering the type of habitat and management foundation that serious sportsmen appreciate.
Approximately 80 acres of older pine timber add another valuable component to the property. A hardwood-lined stream runs through this portion of the tract and is highlighted by towering water oaks, providing excellent acorn production, wildlife habitat, and natural streamside protection. The mature hardwoods and creek corridor add diversity, beauty, and an important wildlife component to the longleaf landscape.
A well-established trail system provides excellent access throughout the property and makes it easy to enjoy the land for hunting, timber management, recreation, and future improvements. Two separate access points are available through recorded easements, providing convenient access to the property despite its private setting.
For the investor, the property offers the rare opportunity to acquire a productive longleaf timber asset with current pine straw revenue and future timber value. For the recreational buyer, it offers the foundation for an exceptional quail, turkey, and whitetail hunting property. For the conservation-minded owner, decades of prescribed-fire management have already established a strong longleaf ecosystem that can continue to be enhanced and managed for timber, wildlife, and recreation.
Additional acreage is available adjacent to the property, including options that could provide paved road frontage and more 20 acres of Longleaf timber, offering an opportunity to expand the ownership and improve accessibility if desired.
This is a truly special longleaf property offering income, timber, wildlife, recreation, and long-term investment value in one of the most desirable land-management systems in the Southeast. Opportunities to acquire a well-established longleaf tract with this combination of timber production, pine straw income, mature hardwoods, prescribed-fire history, and recreational potential are exceptionally rare.
