106 Acres of Hunting/Timber Land near Gloster
This hunting and investment property is in a fantastic location for both wildlife and timber. The majority of this tract is in well-stocked loblolly pine plantation, over 20 years in age. It has been thinned once and is currently ready for a commercial timber harvest. The property has a good internal road system, frontage on Blalock Road, food plots, and a nice open area along the pipeline right of way. There are also a few areas of natural hardwood on the property, as well as a few acres of premerchantable, planted loblolly pine east of the pipeline.
To the north, west, and southwest, the mostly unpopulated portions of Amite and Wilkinson Counties stretch for miles and miles. That is an ideal situation for traveling bucks and gobblers.

To the north, west, and southwest, the mostly unpopulated portions of Amite and Wilkinson Counties stretch for miles and miles. That is an ideal situation for traveling bucks and gobblers. To the south, and only a few miles away, are the three dominant timber mills in Amite County: Drax Biomass (pellet mill), Hood Industries Chip Mill, and the state of the art CLAW sawmill which is currently under construction and set to open in 2024. Additionally, the pine sawmills in Liberty and McComb are in easy hauling distance from this tract. What this means is that the timber on the property is and will continue to be valuable. Timber in areas further from mills is not always valuable because the cost of hauling is too great. Another positive feature of the tract is that it lays very nicely. Modern loggers do not like to work in very hilly or very swampy terrain. This property has a gentle roll to it and good drainage.
In the southeastern US, wildlife habitat is improved by properly managing timber. Having timber in a location that is favorable to management, such as this property, is a tremendous asset for wildlife management as well.
The tract may be bought as shown, at 106 +/- acres. Or, alternatively, it may be bought in conjunction with the 10-acre place on its eastern boundary, which has a very nice 1612 square foot camp house. Please see that listing for details about the camp house, pricing, etc.
