It is certainly an understatement to say that land in Petal, MS is hard to come by, but 80 +/- contiguous acres for sale on the open market in Petal School District is absolutely unheard of! This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a large parcel of land in Petal at an outstanding price.
The property lies in the Sunrise/Indian Springs Community of Forrest County along Luther Carter Road, southeast of Petal in Sections 23 and 24, Township 4 North, Range 12 West. This land has been in the family for five generations serving as an income producing farm in the production of timber and cattle. It has been a way of life and a means of livelihood, while also providing the family a lifetime of memories in the field while hunting deer, turkey, and quail.
The west side of the property extends over 1,800’ along Luther Carter Road and has a double-gated entrance about mid-way. The terrain has great elevations, and the timber consists primarily of Long Leaf Yellow Pine managed by prescribed burning.
A good interior road system extends into another 80 +/- acre tract to the east. This parcel is heavily wooded with pine and hardwood timber. The topo here has the potential to support a large private lake site of 20-30 acres offering numerous picturesque home locations overlooking the water.
