Renovated Home On 17± Acres Bordering The National Forest

Located on Coldwater Church Road just south of Meadville in Franklin County, this 17-acre property offers a combination of residential improvements, recreational opportunities, and access to some of southwest Mississippi's most notable outdoor resources. With a renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom house, blacktop county road frontage, close proximity to Lake Okhissa, and a property boundary adjoining the Homochitto National Forest, this tract provides a versatile setup for a rural residence or weekend getaway. The property is approximately 2 miles from Lake Okhissa, a 1,075-acre lake in the Homochitto National Forest known for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. The lake is located near Meadville and provides public recreation facilities, including boat access, parking, restrooms, and day-use areas. One of the defining features of this property is its location adjoining the Homochitto National Forest. The Homochitto National Forest encompasses a large portion of southwest Mississippi and includes extensive forestland, wildlife habitat, trails, and recreational resources. For a landowner interested in hunting and outdoor recreation, adjoining public forestland creates an important geographic connection to a much larger landscape beyond the 17 acres itself. The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom house on the property has undergone extensive renovations inside and out. Exterior improvements include new siding and windows, while interior updates include new flooring, new paint, new trim, an updated kitchen and bathroom, new fixtures, and other additional improvements. These updates provide a substantially improved starting point for someone looking for a property with an existing home rather than beginning with a vacant tract. The house can serve as a primary residence, hunting camp, or weekend property. For recreational use, the property already has an established food plot and box stand. These improvements provide an existing foundation for hunting activities and can be incorporated into a broader wildlife-management plan. The surrounding landscape, including the adjoining Homochitto National Forest and nearby Lake Okhissa, adds significant outdoor recreation to the tract. Franklin County is located in southwest Mississippi, with Meadville serving as the county seat. The Town of Meadville is located within approximately 40 miles of Brookhaven, McComb, and Natchez, providing access to larger communities and regional amenities while maintaining a small-town setting. Whether you're looking for a renovated rural home, a recreational property near Lake Okhissa, a hunting property adjoining national forestland, or a combination of these uses, this 17-acre Franklin County tract offers several features that are difficult to replicate in one property.
