80 Acres for Sale in Lamar County MS | Timber & Hunting Land

Finding an affordable tract of land in Lamar County that offers both privacy and recreational use is becoming more difficult as residential development continues to spread outward from Hattiesburg and Purvis. For buyers who would rather have timber and wildlife for neighbors, this 80± acre property in southern Lamar County offers a different setting.

Located between Purvis and Baxterville along Arthur Lowe Road, the property is tucked well off the paved county road and accessed by a recorded 30-foot easement. The result is a secluded tract suited for someone looking for a weekend hunting getaway or enough acreage to establish a private country homestead.

Timber & Wildlife

The property consists primarily of merchantable pine sawtimber with hardwood along Wagon Track Branch and two smaller feeder streams.
The rolling South Mississippi terrain provides variety throughout the property, while an established interior road and trail system offers access through portions of the tract. Two established wildlife plots are already in place.

In addition to its recreational appeal, the existing pine sawtimber represents a long-term asset while providing valuable cover and habitat for wildlife. This property may qualify for state or federal cost-share programs that could enhance the habitat, increase the carrying capacity, and add to the owner’s enjoyment while in the field. Following future timber harvests, portions of the property may also lend themselves to clearing for pasture or other agricultural uses.

Hunting Land for Miles

For hunters, one of the most important features of a property is often what lies beyond its boundaries. This 80± acre tract is bordered on the north, east, and south by more than 3,500 acres of privately owned timberland. Instead of subdivisions and concentrated residential development, the property sits within a much larger block of timber and wildlife habitat supporting good populations of deer and turkey.

Combine that surrounding habitat with the property's pine and hardwood timber, creek drainages, established trails, and wildlife plots, and the tract has many of the characteristics recreational land buyers look for in South Mississippi hunting property.

More Than a Weekend Hunting Property

The same seclusion that makes the tract attractive for hunting also creates an appealing setting for a private rural homesite. With approximately 80 acres, a future owner has room to establish a residence away from neighboring properties while retaining substantial acreage for hunting, farming, and recreation. There is room to envision a home tucked into the timber with a shop, barn, garden, pets or livestock and more – then simply step outside to enjoy it all!

Multiple potential homesite locations also provide flexibility for a family thinking beyond its immediate needs. For the right buyer, the acreage could provide enough room for children, parents, or future generations to eventually establish homes on the same family property.
