0 Oktoc Rd Starkville, MS 39759

There are many reasons why this property, "The Oktoc Forest," is so special and desirable. First, you won't find anything like it on the market in this area. It is a large, naturally beautiful, diverse forest teeming with wildlife and boasts quick and easy access to the best of both worlds. Starkville and Mississippi State University (MSU) are only minutes away, north of the property. The 48,000-acre Noxubee Wildlife Refuge is as close as one mile south of the property. And, with the location near the Browning Creek residential development in the increasingly popular and desirable Oktoc Community, this is an opportunity that may not be available again. The MSU campus is only 10 miles north via Oktoc Road, without encountering a single red light or stop sign. Starkville Country Club and the city limits are just 8.5 miles away with only one red light as an interruption. Utilities are readily available. The property has two gated entrances leading into a beautiful pine and hardwood forest with several potential home or cabin sites. The current timber value is substantial and the ample size of the property (303.85+/- acres) provides opportunities for periodic thinning and long-term management resulting in "generational" economic benefits along with the outstanding recreational opportunities. The property is contiguous and consists of two connected parcels. The larger parcel contains 274.5+/- acres. The smaller parcel (added later along the west boundary) contains 29+/- acres. The entire property is managed as one unit. The property has been managed for timber and wildlife for many years. The internal road and trail system provides access to all parts of the property without affecting the abundant natural beauty. Several large food plots are maintained every year. Deer and turkey are abundant. An attractive pond has a reputation as a good "fishing hole." With the property being as close as it is to the wildlife refuge, there's no telling what you might see fly over or cross the property. This is a unique opportunity for a country estate, a recreational retreat, or whatever you can imagine. Contact us soon to schedule a private showing.
