703 Acres of Investment-Grade Timberland in Lamar County, MS: A Rare Opportunity for Land Buyers
When it comes to large-acreage land in South Mississippi, opportunities like this don’t come along often.
This 703-acre tract in Lamar County offers a powerful blend of timber investment potential, conservation value, and recreational appeal—all within minutes of Hattiesburg. Whether you’re a long-term investor, avid outdoorsman, or a family looking to preserve and enjoy a legacy property, this rare listing checks all the boxes.
A Prime Location with Exceptional Access
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Purvis and less than 30 minutes from Hattiesburg, this property offers excellent access via frontage on WPA Road, a quiet rural corridor in Lamar County. With two gated entrances and a well-developed internal road system, the tract is easy to navigate and explore. The location offers the best of both worlds: quiet seclusion with proximity to town.
Timberland with Purpose: Longleaf, Hardwoods & Conservation
The heart of this property lies in its well-established longleaf pine plantation, professionally managed for both timber value and ecological health. Interspersed among the pine are beautiful hardwood draws, adding biodiversity and visual interest. The land’s elevation, soil profile, and forest composition make it ideal for both sustainable timber harvesting and wildlife management.
Importantly, the property is enrolled in the Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP), a federal conservation easement that offers long-term protection for forested landscapes while still allowing a variety of land uses. This adds significant conservation value and tax incentives for the next owner.
Recreational Paradise: Water, Trails, and Wildlife
Running through the property is Little Creek, a clear, winding stream that enhances both the habitat and the recreation experience. Multiple internal trails and woods roads make it easy to traverse the land by ATV, UTV, or on foot. The property supports healthy populations of deer, turkey, and small game—making it a dream tract for hunting or simply enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.
Why This Land Stands Out
- Size: Large tracts of this caliber rarely come to market in Lamar County.
- Diversity: The mix of longleaf pine, hardwoods, creek frontage, and trails create both investment and recreational value.
- Conservation: The HFRP easement provides protection, stewardship, and potential tax benefits for conservation-minded buyers.
- Location: Quiet and rural—but close to town and accessible year-round.
