86± ACRES ADJOINING THE HATTIESBURG CITY LIMITS. Five contiguous parcels of record on paved Rawls Springs Loop Road, minutes off Hwy 49 North -- a close-in tract this size rarely reaches the market in north Forrest County. Mature timber, a live creek and abundant wildlife, with community water at the road and power already run into the property. The 3BR/2BA brick home is leased, so the land carries income from day one, and the four rear parcels are assessed at agricultural use value, holding costs to a minimum. Because the parcels are separate of record, the tract can be held whole, hunted and enjoyed as it sits, or conveyed in part over time. Access to the rear parcels is through the front parcel; a recorded easement or road would be required to develop them independently. Portions lie in the mapped floodplain per FIRM 28035C0085D. Buyer to verify acreage, access, flood status, timber, minerals and utilities.
