Private Homesite Opportunity in One of Lamar County’s Most Desirable Areas
Opportunities like this don’t come along often in the Sumrall School District—especially along Scruggs Road, where demand remains strong and available land is limited.
This 12± acre tract offers the kind of setting many buyers are looking for but have a hard time finding: a place to build a home with space, privacy, and room to breathe—without giving up convenience to town.
With approximately 750 feet of paved road frontage and utilities available through Pearl River Valley Electric, Pearl Com Fiber, and West Lamar Water Association, the property is well-positioned for a straightforward transition from raw land to a finished homesite.
A Property Designed for Privacy and Setting
A portion of the property has already been cleared, allowing you to easily walk the land and begin planning your homesite. Several mature hardwoods remain in place, giving the property character and helping shape a natural landscape once construction is complete.
The balance of the acreage remains in timber, creating a natural buffer that provides separation from neighboring properties, added privacy, and a quiet setting that’s hard to replicate on smaller tracts.
Along the western boundary, the land extends toward Monroe Creek, where additional wooded acreage and natural terrain create a wide buffer that enhances both privacy and long-term seclusion. While the property itself consists of 12± acres, the surrounding landscape gives it the feel of a much larger tract.
Built for the Right Buyer
Protective covenants are in place to maintain privacy and long-term value, including:
- single-family residential use only
- no mobile homes
- minimum parcel size of 5 acres (if subdivided)
This is a tract for someone who values privacy, space, and a strong location—without the maintenance cost and upkeep of a large tract.
Location Still Drives the Value
Located along Scruggs Road in a very desirable area of Sumrall, just minutes from town and a short drive to Hattiesburg.
A Practical Opportunity in Today’s Market
This property offers a wooded homesite that creates a level of privacy that is typically only found on much larger—and more expensive—tracts. Replicating this kind of setting often requires purchasing significantly more land and investing additional time and money to create the same separation and feel.
This property offers that balance upfront: small, affordable acreage with a setting that lives bigger than it is.
