Approximately 20 acres of fields wind and roll throughout the property giving it that Midwest feel, offering the landowner numerous options going forward. Plant a variety of large wildlife plots, create additional bedding and strategic travel corridors leading to small pocket plots, make a large dove field or simply use the fields for hay production and trail riding.
The timber consists of a great variety throughout. It underwent a select cut 15+ years ago and remains a solid stand for those looking for a future timber harvest. You will find a variety of oaks, poplar, ash and more. As an added bonus, a ton of persimmon trees are along the field and timber lines. There are areas with a nice canopy and some spots are thick from exposed sunlight. This variety and diversity of the timbered terrain has created prime habitat for deer and turkey.
Being in an area known for good deer and high turkey numbers, a trail camera survey was conducted throughout the fall and winter of 2022. It did not take long to see the caliber of deer and turkey population the property holds. When it comes to wildlife, this place packs a punch!
If hunting is not your primary focus, merely enjoy the year-round recreational aspect the land has to offer. You can trail ride through the fields, explore along the creek beds, or fish in the small pond just down from the house. The old family home is in need of some repairs but in its current state can serve as a great camp or weekend getaway with the five bedrooms and three baths. If you are looking to build something new, there are multiple sites throughout.
The Yazoo 198 has been in the same family for over 60 years. While one chapter is ending, it is time for a new owner to begin telling their story. If you are looking for a place that checks most every box, lets take a ride today!
