Have you been looking for a place with a little bit of everything, from pasture to timber to a creek and pond, all packed into an affordable piece of land? Look no further than the Jefferson Davis 38, a rare find in south Mississippi. As you enter the Jefferson Davis County property off Fate Ward Road, you will find a beautifully shaded-over home site with power through Southern Pine EPA and water through the Lily Rose Water ASSN readily available. Continue into the property, and you will find a beautiful 5A± acre field, ideal for hay production. Install a fence and use this area for livestock. This field also has a lovely area that would lay out just right for a pond. Just north of the field is an additional 7A± acres of pasture that has grown up for several years in natural regeneration, creating a great area for wildlife habitat. With a little work, the area can be converted back into pasture. Currently, one nice-sized food plot is in place with two small box stands, one of which overlooks the field. The remainder of the property consists of a pine and hardwood mix and a small oxbow-type pond that the owner says has had fish in it for as long as they can remember. Jaybird Creek runs along the majority of the western boundary of this piece of property, which provides additional fishing opportunities as well as some beautiful scenery! If this place fits what you have been looking for, give a call today for your private tour!
