COUNTRY LIVING AT ITS FINEST. Country living doesn't get much better than this! Nestled in the quiet community of Ovett, MS, this beautiful 87-acre property offers the perfect combination of peaceful living, outdoor recreation, and agricultural potential. Plus, you're less than two miles from the Ovett Little General Store for fuel, groceries, supplies, and one of the best cheeseburgers around.
While there is a fixer-upper house on site, it is as the name implies - a fixer-upper. The house was built in 1960, has three bedrooms, two baths, and is +/- 2,951 square-feet. As a main residence, the house would need updating and remodeling. However, as a camp house, it could be used as is. Or the new owners could start from scratch with house plans of their own. Utilities are available through Dixie Electric Power Association, DE Fastlink Internet, and J. P. Utility District for water. JO87 is situated 15 miles south of Laurel, MS, just off MS Highway 15, with two-thirds of a mile of frontage on Upper Ovett Road. This listing is in the Northeast Jones area of the Jones County School District.
Supporting the property are numerous improvements including a barn, equipment shed, covered parking suitable for an RV or boat, a pull-under lean-to for tractors and farm equipment, and a storage building that could easily serve as an outdoor office or workshop. Everything, including the house, is being sold as is.
The open pastureland offers excellent opportunities for horses, cattle, hobby farming, or simply enjoying wide-open spaces. There's also ample room for a large garden, orchards, or other homestead projects.
RECREATIONAL POSSIBILITIES. A private driveway welcomes you to a secluded setting featuring four incredible bodies of water, including a stunning 14.5-acre lake. The three ponds measure approximately 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8 acres. Whether you enjoy fishing, kayaking, wildlife watching, or simply relaxing by the water's edge, this property offers year-round enjoyment. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the De Soto National Forest, this property places outdoor adventure right at your doorstep. Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, ATV riding, and countless recreational opportunities await with 500,000 acres of national forest to explore.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a family retreat, or a recreational property with exceptional water features, this rare offering is ready to become your own private slice of Mississippi paradise.
