Turkey Ridge is an exceptional recreational property providing a rare opportunity to acquire a newly renovated cabin on 78.0 acres of land adjoining 855.0 contiguous acres of Holly Springs National Forest land with private access. The land is excellent for wild turkey and whitetail deer hunting and offers a great place to get away on weekends and relax with family and friends.
The land is situated in the secluded countryside of north-central Mississippi offering beautiful oak and pine ridges, plateaus, and a creek bottom bisecting the landscape. The interior road system is exceptional and allows access throughout the property. A new bridge and culvert pipe have been installed to provide travel over a creek. A road from the cabin grounds leads to a small opening ideal for establishing a turkey and deer food plot. Additionally, several other food plots could be based on the interior of the land, further enhancing the existing wildlife habitat.
The property and surrounding public land offer above-average turkey and deer hunting opportunities. There is nothing like hunting spring gobblers in the Mississippi woodlands. Mississippi has a storied turkey hunting tradition, and the Magnolia state is one of the best in the Southeast for eastern wild turkey hunting. The northern third of the state is an ideal mix of hardwoods and fields and has been home to some of Mississippis highest turkey harvests in recent years. Overall, turkey observations in the region have trended upward over the past two years.
One of the most impressive elements of the property is the adjacent 780.0 contiguous acres of the Holly Springs National Forest bordering the land. An owner can hunt privately on the property or directly access the national forest via an interior road and trail. This tract of public land is unique in that it is surrounded by private land, which makes it hard for the general public to access. Federal law allows landowners who border national forest land personal access to forest service roads. A new owner can enjoy legal entry onto the national forest land via a locked gate and all-weather road. This road is a half mile south of the cabin grounds off Minor Bridge Road and travels throughout 780.0 acres of
national forest land. On the west portion of the national forest land is a well-maintained utility pipeline, which runs 1.5 miles to the Wolf River on the southwest. A sportsman can walk this pipeline and appreciate the unspoiled landscape hunting turkey and deer. In addition, another 75.0 contiguous acres of national forest land adjoins the land on the east, allowing direct access from the property.
The cabin and surrounding area offer a functional basecamp for the property and national forest land. Giant cedar trees are just off the porch, and old oaks are scattered around. The building is a newly remodeled, modernized, single-level brick construction with central heat and air, and all utilities. It features two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, a
kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances, and a living area with a fireplace. There are hardwood floors and an elevated wood beam tin ceiling. The cabin has a rear deck overlooking an open wooded landscape, perfect for enjoying peaceful, cool mornings and evenings. Around the cabin is plenty of room for parking and additional development, such as an outdoor pavilion, storage facility, and shop. Fully furnished, the cabin offers turn-key ready accommodation.
Along with the excellent hunting opportunities, the lands interior roads and national forest land are ideal for nature hikes, horseback riding, wildlife watching, or all-terrain vehicle riding. The property also has the elements needed to establish a self-sufficient homestead lifestyle. An area next to the cabin was a previously cultivated garden and can easily be restored to vegetable patch.
