The Hudson Plantation
The Hudson Plantation is a 2,797-acre property west of Purvis, MS, featuring a 100-acre lake, mature longleaf pine, hardwood bottoms, and flowing creeks. Immaculate roads and numerous food plots make this an exceptional timber and recreational property, combining natural beauty, accessibility, and long-term investment potential.

Land

The property has been carefully managed for longleaf pine and pine straw production for over 30 years. The owner has consistently implemented prescribed burns and other proven land management practices to keep the land healthy, attractive, and productive. This stewardship has preserved the property's natural beauty while supporting strong income potential from straw harvests and quality timber. The timber was recently cruised, and volume information is available upon request. Revenue details from straw harvests are also available.

A well-maintained road system is another testament to the property's long-term care. A full-size truck can traverse most of the acreage with ease, making access both simple and enjoyable.

The 100-acre lake is supported by a strong, well-built dam with a main pipe drain and emergency overflow. It is fully permitted and grandfathered in—an important advantage, as creating a lake of this size today would be extremely difficult. The lake’s outlet flows into a marsh, where water levels can be adjusted with a working floodgate, allowing excellent control of habitat and water conditions.

Improvements

The property's entrance is marked by quality fencing and an electronic gate, offering both security and convenience. A paved asphalt drive winds approximately 1.2 miles through the property and leads directly to a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home perched on the lake. A 4-inch community water line runs alongside the drive, allowing for an easy transition from the existing well system to community water if desired.

The lakeside setting is thoughtfully designed, featuring a seawall over 300 feet long to prevent erosion and enhance the waterfront’s appeal. A one-slip covered boathouse with a pier extends into the water—an ideal spot for boating, fishing, or simply relaxing and taking in the views.

This combination of secure access, well-planned infrastructure, and inviting lake amenities makes the property both functional and enjoyable. Whether used as a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, it offers a rare balance of comfort, convenience, and outdoor living.

An additional home sits on a concrete pad elsewhere on the property. This second home has power and a well for water.

Recreation

The property provides ideal wildlife habitat with ample cover, food, and water, offering the perfect setting for deer and turkey. There are endless opportunities to expand food plots, browse, and supplemental forage across the landscape. Numerous locations are well-suited for tree stands and box blinds, creating premier hunting opportunities throughout the seasons.

The stocked 100-acre lake offers excellent fishing for largemouth bass, delivering year-round enjoyment for family and guests. Whether casting from the shore, pier, or a boat, the lake encourages tradition-building outdoor recreation. Additional activities such as hiking, ATV riding, horseback riding, and waterfowl watching can also be enjoyed across the diverse terrain.

The Hudson Plantation exemplifies a legacy property—one that delivers immediate enjoyment while offering a foundation for stewardship and adventure to be passed down for generations.
