Welcome to 701 acres in Prentiss County, Mississippi, a highly versatile, large-scale tract offering a compelling blend of timber investment, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunity.
This property is built first and foremost for land and timber buyers. It features a well-balanced timber portfolio with multiple pine age classes, including 320 acres of 27 year old planted pine, 190 acres of mixed pine and hardwood (35+ years old), 92 acres of 10 year old planted pine, and 70 acres of 6 year old planted pine. This staggered structure provides both immediate income potential and long-term growth. The older planted pine is approaching peak harvest value, while the younger stands ensure sustained future returns. The layout supports phased harvesting and flexible management strategies.
Pine site indices range from 90–100, and the gently rolling topography allows for reliable access and operability, even in wet conditions.
While no formal timber cruise has been completed, local input suggests over $800,000 in merchantable timber. A recent evaluation by a local logger estimated the older planted pine could yield approximately $2,000 per acre, indicating strong near-term revenue potential.
The property is exceptionally well laid out, featuring an extensive internal road system that provides access throughout. With three access points from both the east and west sides, the tract offers excellent flexibility for both operational use and recreational access—particularly valuable for managing hunting pressure and wind direction.
Wildlife is abundant, supported by eight established food plot openings, multiple drains and creeks, and a diverse mix of upland habitat. The property has excellent deer and turkey populations, making it equally attractive for recreational buyers.
Additional features include paved county road frontage on both sides and access to utilities, including electricity, water, and fiber internet. These amenities not only support timber operations and recreation but also provide long-term development potential for a cabin or residence or subdividing the property and selling in multiple tracts.
Conveniently located just 6 miles from Booneville-Baldwyn Airport and 29 miles north of Tupelo, the property offers accessibility without sacrificing privacy. Nearby recreational destinations include Bay Springs Lake (21 miles) and Pickwick Lake via Mill Creek Marina (approximately 40 miles), adding further appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.
With its scale, timber value, infrastructure, and recreational attributes, this ±701-acre tract represents a rare opportunity in NE Mississippi—ideal for investors, land managers, or those seeking a premier hunting and recreational property.
