Howard Creek Tract

This 65 (+/-) acre tract sits in Holmes County on Highway 51, just north of Durant, Mississippi, and only an hour north of Madison. The tract consists of mature pine and hardwood timber, a mix of rolling topography and bottomlands, and over 500 yards of frontage along Howard Creek. This property offers excellent potential as a recreational retreat. With ample road frontage on Melton Road and both sides of U.S. Highway 51, there are several convenient access points to the tract. The property primarily consists of approximately 49 acres of natural pine and hardwood mix. Several mast-producing oaks were also noted throughout the tract, providing an excellent food source for wildlife. The mature timber could also provide a monetary return should a future owner choose to harvest it. The topography in this portion of the property is mostly rolling hills, making it well suited for winter logging. Hardwoods can also be found in the bottoms along Howard Creek, creating an excellent setting to hunt and make lasting memories during the fall and winter months. The remaining approximately 16 acres consist mostly of natural regeneration. These areas provide outstanding bedding cover and browse for wildlife, especially deer. A well-established trail system and food plots are already in place. The property also boasts more than 500 yards of frontage on Howard Creek, providing an excellent water source for wildlife and a place for family and friends to enjoy those hot summer days. From a recreational standpoint, the combination of creek frontage, diverse hardwood habitat, bedding cover, food plots, and a integrated trail system gives this tract all the components needed to be an exceptional hunting retreat. The property is also located less than one-half mile from the famed Big Black River, an area well known for its outstanding hunting opportunities. The tract offers ample road frontage on both U.S. Highway 51 and Melton Road, with electricity available along Highway 51. Each of these roads provides direct access to the property. There is also a fiber optic easement that has been incorporated into part of the existing trail system. Additionally, Madison's dining, shopping, and other conveniences are only about an hour away. Whether you are looking for an exceptional recreational property or a place to diversify your investment portfolio, the Howard Creek tract offers it all.
