Cross Creek Farm | Poplarville, MS
$12.25 Million | 2,028 Acres
Cross Creek Farm is nothing short of a sportsman’s recreational paradise. The verdant 2,028-acre property has one of the top whitetail deer enclosures in the country, trophy bass fishing, lauded duck hunting, and an impressive turkey population.
The land and its wildlife have been meticulously maintained and managed for over 25 years, and no expense has been spared in its improvement. Driving through the entrance, you’ll be immediately captivated by the seemingly endless forest and pristine landscaping on the developed premise.
The custom-built, 6,200-square-foot lodge is ideal for hosting gatherings and full- or part-time living. The spacious floor plan shows off extraordinary views of the pond, pool, patio, and carriage house. Cozy up to the double-sided stone fireplace under a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams. Dip in the heated lap pool or hot tub and cook your catch in the al fresco kitchen.
The farm’s 2,000 contiguous acres of gently rolling terrain are filled with pine and hardwood trees, and the owners planted more than 3,000 oaks to enhance natural foods for the wildlife.
22221 Prairie Road | Abbeville, LA
$2.5 Million | 182 Acres
Picture driving through rolling horse pastures, past towering cypress swamps, and into a movie-set-worthy grove of 200-year-old moss-draped oaks. This will be some lucky new owner’s reality in Southern Louisiana.
A hay barn and two livestock corrals are set up for horse and cattle grazing and maintenance. Deer and wild hogs roam the woods, and the dwelling is built on an island surrounded by swamps and forest.
The custom Acadian-style home was built in 2005 to withstand hurricanes with extra sturdy solid walls, an open floor plan with exposed beams, and custom cypress woodwork throughout. The authentic Acadian atmosphere exudes easy living and beckons you to unwind, entertain, or just turn off and soak up the tranquility.
YMO Hideaway Ranch | Big Sandy, TX
$12.9 Million | 721 Acres
We are here for that Texas ranch life. This 721-acre high-fenced ranch has been methodically developed as a top exotic wildlife habitat for years. While it may seem strange to see zebra running around in this stunning promotional video, exotic animals are not uncommon in Texas.
The ranch’s owner has been making intentional and substantial improvements since 2014, including a 15-acre lake and two primary homes: a two-story custom log cabin and a 6,400-square-foot lodge. The fun-filled retreat has six bedrooms, two kitchens, a game room, and a party-ready covered patio.
Paths and trails traverse the property, and they’ve built beautiful wooden bridges across the water, perfect for fishing and wildlife viewing. At night, commune around the iron globe fire pit or under the twinkly lights of the observation deck.
1008 Apple Road | Blacksburg, SC
$2.25 Million | 47.54 Acres
We found a rare opportunity to own a piece of Carolina history near Blacksburg, SC. This property sits atop no fewer than six inactive goldmines in the heart of nearly 7,000 protected acres of Kings Mountain State Park.
Within this 50-acre gated equestrian estate are three existing structures: a big barn, a 100-year-old wooden cabin, and a stone cottage on the water. The land connects with the many miles of trails within the popular state park, so you can horseback ride and hike throughout the park for hours. Or throw a line in the spring-fed, fully-stocked pond.
Quarry Lakes Ranch | Webster, FL
$12.5 Million | 500 Acres
On the market in Central Florida, Quarry Lakes Ranch is a serene and idyllic property that spans 500 acres of undeveloped woods, eight lakes, an open pasture, and three homes great for personal use, entertaining, or renting.
The owners developed this former limestone quarry over the course of two decades to create an outdoor escape on the vast property. It centers around a spacious, Western-style ranch house with a huge front porch, lake views, high-vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and luxe amenities.
Friends can stay in the guesthouse or the quaint little cottage. There is also a functioning barn with a tack room, half bath, feed room, and five stalls for your four-legged friends, big and small.
