Turnkey Brick Farmhouse with Three Barns, Two Ponds, and 125 Acres Near McComb
$745,000
Pike County, Mississippi, near McComb — 125 acres of Mississippi farmstead land, four miles east of I-55 just north of Highway 98.
The listing calls it turnkey, and the inventory backs that up: a new 40×60 hay barn, a 30×40 barn with two Priefert stalls, a 20×60 metal shop with attached eave, and two ponds on roughly 83 open, fenced-and-cross-fenced acres that recently ran as a cattle operation and will transition equally well to horses. A second road access and active deer and turkey hunting add to what's already on the ground. The brick home has a brand new roof, updated interiors, tall ceilings in the living room — 3 bed, 2 bath, 1,976 sq ft, genuinely move-in ready.
Listed at $745,000. Listing courtesy of United Country Southern States Realty.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
Two ponds are already on the property — a meaningful asset for livestock watering, wildlife, and fire suppression. Buyers should confirm whether the home is served by a private well or rural water district, and verify yield and quality before closing.
Crop & Income Potential
About two-thirds of the 125 acres is open and recently active as a cattle operation, with the land fenced and cross-fenced throughout. Pike County sits in Mississippi's piney woods transition zone — the pasture ground here is well-suited to continued cattle or horse grazing, hay production, or rotational management. Small-scale market gardening is feasible on the cultivated edges near the home.
Sustainability
The brand new roof removes the single biggest long-term maintenance variable on a property of this age. The cluster of outbuildings — hay barn, shop, stalls, and a small heated and cooled utility outbuilding — gives a buyer a self-sufficient infrastructure base without needing to build from scratch. Hunting access is on-site, and the timber on the wooded third of the acreage supports a wood-management plan.
The Boundaries
Fenced and cross-fenced throughout, which confirms working boundary lines and simplifies rotational grazing management from day one. Buyers should still obtain a current survey for a 125-acre parcel, and verify any easements tied to the second road access in the deed before closing.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
McComb is a Pike County town of about 12,000 with a small-city commercial core and a rural identity rooted in timber, farming, and the Illinois Central Railroad history that built it. It's not a destination, but it has the feed stores, hardware, and services a working farmstead needs — and the I-55 corridor puts New Orleans about 90 minutes south and Jackson about an hour north.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
Pike County is served by the Mississippi State University Extension Service with offices accessible from McComb, covering cropping, livestock, and pasture management for the piney woods region. The county's cattle heritage means veterinary and farrier services are straightforward to source, and farm supply options are available locally.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Bogue Chitto State Park is roughly 30 miles southeast across the Louisiana line, offering tubing, camping, and swimming on the Bogue Chitto River. The property itself carries active deer and turkey populations, so hunting access begins at the fence line. Homochitto National Forest lies about 40 miles northeast for additional public-land hunting, hiking, and horseback riding.
