250.70 Acres At 2336 Redland Sarepta Road

This is one of the most beautiful lakes and surrounding forest in North Mississippi! Totally reconstructed in the past few years, the lake is now under professional management and has been stocked with a variety of game and forage fish. Game fish species include largemouth bass, black crappie, native bluegill, copper nose, and red ear bream. Forage fish such as fathead minnows and threadfin shad were also added to create the desired food chain for a productive fishing lake. Lakebed management included the addition of pea gravel, changes in elevation, and rock piles in strategic locations. Several baldcypress were planted in selected locations in the shallows. Combining the extensive fisheries management with a strong concrete spillway, and new gate valve for the drainage pipe, you have a stable, long-term recreational opportunity. In addition, the watershed protection and seclusion provided by the forest make this place EXCEPTIONAL whether you are looking for a "getaway" place or a permanent home. Various species of waterfowl have already found it to be inviting. The 250+/- acres are adjacent to agricultural fields of soybeans, sweet potatoes and occasionally corn, creating a "honey hole" for deer and turkey hunting. This property and adjoining tracts combine to provide the diverse wildlife habitat needed for crafty old whitetail bucks and elusive gobblers. Adding to the list of recreational opportunities is the popular Tanglefoot Trail which crosses Redland Sarepta Road only 1.6 miles east of the property. While the interior of the property provides a sense of remoteness and seclusion, it is actually very accessible and convenient. It is only 27 miles southwest of Tupelo and 28 miles southeast of Oxford. Pontotoc is just minutes away up Hwy 15, and Houston is just a little farther south. The location makes the property a dream site for a home or weekend "get away." Just imagine sitting on your back porch watching ducks and geese gliding in for a landing and deer and turkey feeding along the edges of the lake. With utilities already available, a forever home or cabin may be the only thing missing.
