THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED. Tucked away in the southwestern corner of Mississippi is this little diamond in the rough. Left undisturbed for many years, this tract offers an array of possibilities for its new owners. PR26 is located on low traffic Dumas Wise Road about seven miles west of Picayune, MS. With 1,500 feet of road frontage there are several possible entry sites. With no building restrictions in this area, the future owners have options for building a house, having a mobile home, or even setting up a concrete pad to use with a camper. While PR26 is not an overly large tract, with its mature hardwoods and pines, it is plenty big enough to enjoy nature and have some privacy as well. The electricity service provider in this area is Coast Electric Power Association. This tract is in the Picayune School District.
HUNTING, FISHING, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. The mature hardwoods and pines, along with the seasonal creek that flows across the center of the property, provide great habitat for area wildlife. Southwestern Mississippi is one of the premier hunting and fishing areas in the state. Whitetail deer, turkey, small game, and migratory waterfowl are plentiful in this location. In addition to the many onsite possibilities, there are some nearby spots for even more outdoor fun.
THE SCENIC PEARL RIVER. PR26 is located five miles north of the Pearl River boat ramp on Walkiah Bluff Road. The scenic Pearl River is an excellent waterway for fishing, boating, and kayaking.
