OFF THE GRID SPOT PAST WHERE THE BLACKTOP ENDS. Seriously, when you turn off Mississippi Highway 15, you drive down not one, but two well-maintained dirt roads to get to the entrance gate for this property. It's a place where the stars shine brightly at night and the only sounds you hear are those made by nature. If you're the kind of person who feels most at home in the woods, JO86 is going to hit you right in the sweet spot.
Tucked inside the De Soto National Forest - surrounded by thousands of acres in the Chickasawhay Management Area - this property is the kind of private, deep-woods retreat hunters dream about. Located in the Ovett Community of Jones County, this property has Richton, MS address. Utility providers are Dixie Electric Power Association and J. P. Utility District for water. For those who might not want to be totally unplugged, DE Fastlink Internet is available in this area.
RUSTIC MULTI-LEVEL CABIN. Hidden at the end of your private, gated entrance, this is the kind of place that instantly feels like "camp." The main floor has everything you need to settle in from day one with two bedrooms, a full bath, a great room with a fireplace for chilly mornings, and a kitchen - because camp coffee just tastes better.
The upstairs area is unfinished but the plumbing and electrical are already roughed in, giving you a head start, whether you want more bedrooms for hunting buddies, space for the family, or just extra room to spread out.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS. Outside, this place shines even brighter. You've got porches on three sides of the house, including a screened-in porch off the kitchen with a swing. And the back porch? There's a wildlife feeder set up about 40 yards off the back porch, so your morning coffee comes with its own wildlife show.
A storage shed and pole barn are ready for your gear, equipment, and everything that comes with spending time outdoors.
The land itself is a mix of planted pines and natural hardwoods, offering food, cover, and bedding areas for all the wildlife South Mississippi is known for. Whitetail deer, turkey, and plenty of small game call this place home. Trails run throughout the property, leading you to a half-acre pond and all the way back to East Tiger Creek, which stretches across the east side for over 2,000 feet. There's even a metal bridge tucked down one of the trails, adding charm and accessibility.
In addition to all of this, the adjoining De Soto National Forest boasts more than 500,000 acres of public lands for hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and camping.
Whether you're looking for the ultimate hunting camp, a place to unplug for the weekend, or a quiet retreat where the only traffic you'll see has four legs, this property brings the woods, the water, and the wildlife together in one unforgettable setting.
