Property Description
“Plenty” truly says it all.
This 516-acre Barbour County property offers an abundance of everything that makes a recreational and investment tract exceptional. It includes approximately 20 acres of ponds, with one spanning 14 acres. There are 175 acres of hardwoods, ranging from young to mature stands, and about 225 acres of healthy, well-managed loblolly pines averaging 14 years old-ready for thinning and immediate return potential.
From an investment standpoint, that’s plenty of reasons to take notice. The four ponds (ranging from 2 to 14 acres) are in excellent condition. The larger pond was recently rebuilt and, according to the owner’s brother, has attracted a tremendous number of wild ducks in past seasons. While we can’t confirm their current presence, his long-term management and familiarity with the property suggest excellent habitat conditions for waterfowl. The setting also provides outstanding habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife.
For hunters, the deer herd shows a strong age structure, and numerous shooting houses overlook established plots, making this a true turn-key hunting retreat. For anglers, the ponds hold plenty of bream and bass, and even during a severe drought, the three smaller ponds remain flowing with steady spring water running through the overflow pipes.
A well-designed road system weaves through the property’s gently rolling terrain, with roughly 100 feet of elevation change from high to low points. The north boundary offers 3,300 feet of paved frontage on McClean Road, while the southern end adds another 300 feet on Sconyers Road.
If you’re ready to set up camp, the upper pond already has power and a deep well in place from a former homesite-perfect for a mobile home or cabin site. This is a Barbour County paradise, where hunting, fishing, and lasting memories are ready to begin.
