Trophy Hunting & Income on Fannegusha Creek - Rarely does a hunting property of this caliber & size come to market. Located on the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta in Holmes County, this exceptional 650-acre tract sits just one mile from the heavily managed Morgan Brake National Wildlife Refuge and only five miles from Hillside National Wildlife Refuge—an area long recognized for producing outstanding whitetail deer and exceptional turkey hunting. With over 10 miles of established interior roads, the property is easy to navigate by truck or UTV, providing excellent access to countless acres of established food plots, numerous deer stands, and more than a mile of transmission line openings that create ideal long-range hunting opportunities. The area has produced 200-class whitetails, and the property is loaded with mature hardwoods, big delta deer, and thriving turkey populations. Fannegusha Creek winds through and along the property for more than a mile and a half, adding year-round water, beautiful scenery, and outstanding recreation. The creek is well known for trophy deer and quality turkey habitat, but it also offers excellent fishing, canoeing, swimming, and family fun. Large sandbars provide the perfect setting for camping, cookouts, and relaxing after a day in the woods, while anglers can enjoy catching bass right from the shoreline. Beyond its recreational appeal, this property also generates impressive income. Annual FSA payments exceed $25,000, and the hunting rights have historically been leased for approximately $20,000 per year, creating strong investment potential alongside world-class hunting. Additionally, the property earns over $5,000 annually in carbon credit payments, which can also be transferred to the new owner. Electric service is available through Yazoo Valley EPA, making future improvements or the addition of a hunting camp even more convenient. For buyers wanting an immediate hunting headquarters, an existing mobile home on a nearby property—with electricity, water, and other utilities already in place—can also be included in the sale, providing a ready-to-use camp from day one. Whether you're searching for a premier recreational retreat, an income-producing investment, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this remarkable Holmes County hunting tract offers an exceptional combination of trophy wildlife, solid income, and unmatched outdoor recreation.
