AMAZING HUNTING/RECREATIONAL PROPERTY WITH LOG CABIN. It really doesn’t get much better than this: 711 acres of first-class hunting and recreational land with nearly two miles of frontage on the Chickasawhay River. Located in the Desoto Community of Clarke County, CL711 has deeded access from CR695. It is five miles northeast of Shubuta, MS and five miles southeast of Quitman, MS. Looking for a place to hold family gatherings and hunts? Want to float the river? Maybe you would like a private weekend getaway spot where you really CAN get away from it all. Or perhaps you need a place that can double as a family retreat and a place to host clients. CL711 offers the chance to do all this and more. This location is quiet, peaceful, and provides the feeling of being in a remote setting while still being close enough to civilization to quickly get some groceries and gas. LOG CABIN HOME. This residence is a well-built, two-story, 2,174 square foot log home located on a bluff overlooking the scenic Chickasawhay River. On the main level are a large great room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, a half bath, and the primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The second level has two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a balcony open to the first floor. The home is heated and cooled by two central heat and air conditioning systems. The home’s exterior has a 352-square-foot covered porch in front of the house. The back of the house features the perfect place to start your day with a hot cup of coffee or to end your day with an ice-cold beverage: a 612-square-foot open, wooden deck with a beautiful view of the river. OUTBUILDINGS. SHOP/SHED – Built on a concrete slab, this building has a 1,185-square-foot enclosed shop area and a covered 579-square-foot open air shed area. The shop has wood siding and a metal roof. BARN WITH SHEDS – The frame construction barn has lean-to sheds on each side; one is 192 square feet and the other is 233 square feet. Both sheds have concrete floors as does the 323-square-foot portion of the main barn. HORSE STALLS – Perfect for horse lovers, this area includes two horse stalls with dirt floors (235 square feet). OUTDOOR FEATURES. With 711 acres, this property lives large and provides plenty of privacy and lots of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Let’s start with 1.75 miles of Chickasawhay River frontage. The river makes up the entire western boundary of the tract. A whole day of fun activities such as kayaking, floating, or fishing can be had simply by starting at the north end of the property and going to the south end. Beautiful sandbars offer the perfect spots for sunbathing or picnicking. Coonipper Creek briefly flows across the southeast corner of the property before joining the Chickasawhay. Situated in a prime region of South Mississippi for hunting, CL711 will not disappoint the avid hunter. Trophy whitetail bucks and turkeys are plentiful here (see a few of the photos attached to this listing) as are all the typical small game animals. In addition, the property also has two duck ponds, one of which is a controllable duck hole. Duck holes are created using water control structures to manage water levels, create ideal vegetation for food, and attract waterfowl. These systems allow for moist-soil management, such as drawing down water in spring to germinate plants and flooding in fall for hunting. Internal roads offer great access throughout the property providing opportunities for exploring on foot, riding four-wheelers or side-by-sides or horses. TIMBER INVESTMENT. As if all these features weren’t enough, CL711 boasts well-managed longleaf pine plantations ranging in age from newly planted to 15 years as well as well-managed mature loblolly pine plantations. Walley Forestry Consultants can provide the new owners with direction on managing these plantations. NEARBY ATTRACTIONS.
