40 Acres inside Bienville National Forest
Discover the potential of this rare property off Highway 501 in Forest, MS. Accessed by a private easement and completely surrounded by the Bienville National Forest, this tract offers unmatched privacy and a true sportsman's paradise. Properties with this type of setting are extremely difficult to find, making this a rare opportunity in Scott County.
The acreage itself is the highlight, offering a peaceful and secluded environment perfect for a recreational retreat, hunting camp, or private homestead. Whether you're running ATVs, setting up food plots, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings, this land gives you space and freedom that few places can match. Its expansive layout also opens the door to income-generating possibilities such as short-term rentals, RV park development, or outdoor lodging options—ideal for tapping into the growing demand for nature-based getaways and adventure tourism.
Despite its private feel, the property remains within a reasonable distance to town for supplies and conveniences. Bienville National Forest spans over 178,000 acres of rolling hills, pine forests, and hardwood bottoms. Known for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife, it offers a wide range of outdoor recreation. Visitors can enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and horseback riding, with several lakes and streams providing excellent opportunities for boating and water activities. The forest is also home to multiple trails and designated areas for off-highway vehicles, making it a versatile destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both adventure and relaxation.
The existing home on the property is in need of significant repairs, including foundation and roof work. Buyers may choose to renovate the structure or replace it altogether with new construction or a mobile home. With utilities already in place, the groundwork has been laid to make your vision a reality without starting from scratch. Whether you're an investor, outdoorsman, or someone looking to carve out a secluded lifestyle, this property offers endless possibilities in a truly unique setting.
