Avera Picayune Creek Timber & Hunting Investment North

A gorgeous, large contiguous tract in the Avera community, located between Leakesville and Richton, that offers a great opportunity for recreation and investment. The gently rolling topography, extensive waterfrontage, and well-managed timber base create an outstanding property for hunting, timber production, farm conversion, and future enhancements such as ponds, lakes, or home and lodge development. Located just 39 miles from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and 68 miles from Mobile, Alabama, the property provides both seclusion and accessibility.

The tract features 1.15 miles of frontage on both sides of Picayune Creek, with an additional 1.85 miles of frontage on one side, as well as 1.16 miles of frontage on both sides of Oak Swamp Creek. Extensive hardwood branches run along the creeks and tributaries, providing natural corridors for deer. The property also benefits from 2.4 miles of frontage on a pipeline easement and a 590-foot connection to Highway 63, along with an extensive internal road and trail system, sprawling nearly 12 miles, providing easy access throughout the tract.

The tract timber has been well managed, offering a mixture of standing timber and planted trees, which provides long-term investment security. With its diverse habitat of hardwood bottoms, pine uplands, and creek systems, the property is well situated for excellent deer and turkey hunting. Beyond hunting and timber income, the tract offers strong potential for pond and lake development. Because of its scale, location, and diversity, this has the potential for a legacy property. 

Timber data is available upon request. An additional 1,023 acres adjoining south of Picayune Creek is available as a separate listing, offering buyers the unique chance to assemble more than 2,500 contiguous acres.
