If you're looking for a private place to build your home in the country without putting yourself too far from town, 37 N. Mill Creek Road has a lot going for it. The property contains 15.28± surveyed acres in the Sumrall School District, with over 1,200 feet of frontage along a paved county road, an established driveway, power and community water already on site, and PearlComm fiber available at the road.

An elevated ridge runs through the heart of the tract and gives you several options for positioning your future home. Build farther back from N. Mill Creek Road while maintaining wooded separation from the road and neighboring properties and create the kind of privacy you simply won't find with a conventional residential lot. There is already a cleared homesite near the road if you prefer an easier starting point, but the interior of the property gives you the opportunity to choose a more private setting and shape the homesite around the way you want to live.

Much of the remaining acreage is covered in young pine and hardwood, with open interior trails extending through the property. Clear as much or as little as you want around your future home. There is room for a large yard, garden, workshop or pasture while still retaining plenty of wooded privacy. Two smaller ponds along the interior could also serve as convenient watering holes for horses, cattle or goats if livestock becomes part of your plans.

Toward the south end of the property, the 1–1.5± acre pond adds another dimension to the tract. Whether it becomes a place to fish, spend an afternoon by the water, or simply part of the view and setting around your future home, it adds one more feature that helps make the property feel like a place you and your family can call home.

One of the biggest advantages of this tract is how much expensive groundwork is already in place. You are not starting with raw acreage and then having to pay to establish access, clear a homesite, or extend power and water deep into the property before you can begin thinking about construction. There is already an established driveway, a cleared homesite, power and water on site, and fiber at the road. Add in the existing pond, and the property gives a future owner a meaningful head start in both time and money compared with many rural tracts where those improvements still have to be created from scratch.

The property is outside FEMA's designated flood zone, and location may be its biggest advantage: you're approximately 5 miles from Sumrall, 7 miles from Highway 98 and 10 miles from Bellevue/West Hattiesburg, while still having enough acreage to create a private country setting of your own.

15.28± acres offered as one tract at $213,920, or $14,000 per acre.
