WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS LARGE DESOTO NATIONAL FOREST TRACT? When it comes to living large and enjoying the great outdoors, this three-tract parcel has got it covered. JO543 is situated 14 miles south of Laurel, MS in the Tucker's Crossing area. The +/- 80-acre and the +/- 67-acre portions of the listing have frontage on Strickland Road, while the larger +/- 396-acre section has frontage on Tiger Road. JO543 is entirely within the DeSoto National Forest, one of South Mississippi's best hunting/recreational areas. This listing has several places that are suitable for home or camp sites and there are no building restrictions in this vicinity. Utility providers in this area are Dixie Electric Power Association and M&M Water Association. JO543 is in the Northeast Jones Middle/High School area of the "A" rated Jones County School District. JO543 would also be a good spot for a weekend retreat.
HUNTING & RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. As a hunting and recreational site, JO543 is pretty remarkable. Surrounded almost entirely by land owned by the federal government, this listing offers the benefits of your own property as well as the added benefit of the DeSoto National Forest lands.
JO543 has excellent internal road systems providing great access throughout. Several food plots and shooting houses are also on site. Tiger Creek flows across the +/-396-acre tract, while Little Tiger Creek joins Tiger Creek on the +/- 67-acre tract. These creeks, along with the beautiful hardwood and pine forest are the perfect habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, quail, and all the typical small game animals found in South Mississippi. The trails also offer great places to ride horses or four-wheelers or to hike/stroll through the natural beauty of the site. For those who like to "rough it," this area is a fantastic place to pitch a tent for camping.
In addition to all of this, the adjoining DeSoto National Forest boasts more than 500,000 acres of public lands for hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and camping.
