The Hudson Plantation

Farm Description

The Hudson Plantation is a 2,797 acre property west of Purvis, MS with a 100-Acre lake, mature longleaf pine, hardwood bottoms, and flowing creeks. Immaculate roads, and numerous food plots make this an exceptional timber and recreational property with beauty, access, and long-term investment potential.

Land

The property has been carefully managed for Longleaf Pine and pinestraw production for more than 30 years. The owner has stayed consistent with prescribed burns and other proven land management practices to keep the land healthy, attractive, and productive. This care has helped the property maintain both its natural beauty and strong income potential from straw harvest and quality timber. The timber was recently cruised, and all volume information is available upon request. Revenue information for straw harvest is also available upon request.

A well-maintained road system is another sign of the long-term care this property has received. A full-size truck can travel across most of the acreage with ease, making access simple and enjoyable.

The lake is supported by a strong, well-built dam with a main pipe drain and emergency overflow. It is fully permitted and grandfathered in-an important advantage, as building a lake of this size today would be extremely difficult. The lake's outlet flows into a marsh where water levels can be adjusted with a working floodgate, allowing for excellent control of habitat and water conditions.

Improvements

The entrance of this property is marked by quality fencing and an electronic gate, ensuring both security and convenience. From the gate, a paved asphalt drive winds approximately 1.2 miles through the property and leads directly to the 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home perched on the lake. Running alongside the drive is a 4-inch community water line, giving the option to easily convert the home from its current well system to community water if desired.

The lakeside setting is thoughtfully designed, with a seawall stretching over 300 feet to protect against erosion while enhancing the waterfront appeal. Extending into the water, you'll find a one-slip covered boathouse complete with a pier-an ideal place to launch a boat, fish, or simply relax and take in the views.

This combination of secure access, well-planned infrastructure, and inviting lake amenities makes the property both functional and enjoyable. Whether used as a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, it offers a unique balance of comfort, convenience, and outdoor living.

There is an additional home on the property that sits on a concrete pad. This home has power and water via well.

Recreation

This property offers the ideal balance of habitat that deer and turkey need-cover, food, and water-while also providing a blank canvas for a new owner to curate additional food plots, browse, and supplemental forage. With nearly unlimited locations for tree stands and box blinds scattered across the landscape, hunters will find endless opportunities to pursue big game throughout the seasons.

The lake at the heart of the property is stocked with largemouth bass, a southern favorite, creating year-round fishing enjoyment for family and guests. Whether casting from the bank, the pier, or a boat, the waters promise not only recreation but also a tradition of outdoor memories. Beyond hunting and fishing, the property's diverse setting opens the door to countless other pursuits, from hiking and horseback riding to ATV trails and waterfowl watching.

The Hudson Plantation embodies the essence of a legacy property-one that offers both immediate enjoyment and the opportunity to build upon its natural foundation for generations to come. With its unique combination of wildlife habitat, abundant water, and recreational potential, it is more than just land it is a place where heritage, stewardship, and adventure can be passed down to the next generation.
