A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES. This recently cleared tract of land offers a world of opportunities for its new owners. With a nearly clean slate to work with, JA39 is a great place to create your rural getaway or country estate/farm. Situated on Jasper County Road 317, this listing is five miles west of Heidelberg, MS. Utilities available in this area are provided by Southern Pine Power Association and Philadelphia Water Association.
HOME/CAMP POSSIBILITIES. A little more than 20 acres of the timber on this site have been harvested providing the chance to take this property into the future in a few different ways. Several spots on the tract are suitable for locating a home, weekend getaway, or hunting camp. Because there are no building restrictions in this area, mobile homes or even an RV pad could be set up on site. With many open areas, some of this land could be utilized for vegetable gardening, converted to pastureland for cows or horses. Or why not just do all of the above?
RECREATIONAL/HUNTING. Views on the aerial map show numerous internal road/trail possibilities. These could be used for four-wheeler riding or hunting. As much of this property offers a blank canvas, there are many places to establish food plots and shooting houses. A seasonal stream flows diagonally across the center of the site providing a good water source for the whitetail deer, turkey, squirrels, and other South Mississippi small game animals.
TREE FARM. As an investment for the future, the 20+ acres of cleared land could be prepared and replanted as a tree farm. Walley Forestry Consultants, Inc. can help any future owners with the ins and outs of establishing a tree farm on this property.
