When there is a discussion about land in Yazoo County, Mississippi, there are certain features that are consistently mentioned: gorgeous property, hardwood timber, finger pastures, gravel bottom creeks, prime location and exceptional hunting. If you have been searching for a place that covers these criteria, the Yazoo 198 is worth a look! Located between Benton and Yazoo City, just north of Highway 16, this house and 198± acre tract offers opportunities for those looking for a pure hunting property, year-round recreational tract, or permanent homestead. There are approximately 20 acres of fields that wind and roll throughout the property giving it that Midwest feel. This gives a landowner multiple options going forward. Plant a variety of large wildlife plots, create additional bedding and strategic travel corridors leading to small pocket plots, make a large dove field or simply use the fields for hay production and trail riding. The timber consists of a great variety throughout. It underwent a select cut 15+ years ago and remains a solid stand if you are looking for a future timber harvest. You will find a variety of oaks, poplar, ash and more. As an added bonus, there are a ton of persimmon trees along the field and timber lines. There are areas with a nice canopy and spots that are thick from exposed sunlight. This variety and diversity of the timbered terrain has created prime habitat for deer and turkey. Being as the property is in an area known for good deer and high turkey numbers, a trail camera survey was conducted throughout the fall and winter of 2022. It did not take long to see the caliber deer and amount of turkey the property holds! When it comes to wildlife, this place packs a punch. If hunting is not your prime focus, simply enjoy the year-round recreational aspect the land has to offer. You can trail ride through the fields, explore along the creek beds, or fish in the small pond just down from the house. The old family home is in need of some repairs but could currently serve as a great camp or weekend getaway. It offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you are looking to build something new, there are multiple house and camp sites throughout. The Yazoo 198 has been in the same family for over 60 years. While one chapter is ending, it is ready for a new owner to start telling their story. If you have been looking for a place that will check most every box, give it a look today!
