Located in the Bellevue community of Lamar County, this 23.25± acre tract offers a rare opportunity to own a well-positioned piece of land in one of the ever-growing areas just west of Hattiesburg. Situated within the Oak Grove School District and less than one mile from Bellevue Elementary, the property combines privacy, accessibility, and long-term value in a way that is increasingly difficult to find.
The tract features approximately 930 feet of frontage along JM Burge Road, a paved county road, with a gated entrance already in place. An established internal road runs through the property from the south boundary toward the north, providing immediate access throughout the tract and reducing upfront improvement costs for a future owner.
From a land-use standpoint, the property lays exceptionally well. The topography offers a gradual elevation change from front to back, creating multiple suitable homesite locations while maintaining natural drainage. Whether positioned near the road for convenience or further back for added privacy, the layout supports a variety of residential build options.
The land is fully wooded with a strong stand of mature mixed pine and hardwood timber, giving the property both aesthetic appeal and a sense of seclusion. This natural setting, combined with the overall shape and usability of the tract, makes it well-suited for a private estate, family compound, or long-term investment hold.
Utilities are available at the road, and the property’s location provides convenient access to key travel corridors—approximately 0.5 miles from MS Highway 589 and 2 miles from US Highway 98—allowing for an easy commute into Hattiesburg while still enjoying a quiet, rural environment.
This area of West Hattiesburg continues to experience steady growth and demand, particularly for residential land within the Oak Grove School District. Opportunities like this—offering size, location, and usability—are becoming increasingly limited.
The property is subject to protective covenants and restrictions supporting single-family residential use, helping maintain the character and long-term value of the surrounding area.
