Mississippi retirement hunting property

What do y’all think of investing in Mississippi hunting property for my retirement? Maybe the property appreciation would not be as much as being in a stock market but at this point, who’s counting. It would provide a recreational opportunity for family and friends and a very safe investment. What do y’all think? Also what tax benefits could it provide?

My buddy bought sw ms about 18 months ago. Made some immediate coin on timber. It was completely wooded so he needed food plots and roads. That’s an option for income.

I don't know of any tax benefits but it's sure nice, peaceful and good recreation. If you don't mind shopping at Dollar General for most of your goods you'll love it.

If you are truly wanting it to act as a retirement fund, it would be a terrible idea. If you just want property, then it’s a great idea.

Cool thread. We are looking at buying hunting property also. What acreage are you looking to buy?

It definitely sounds like this would not be an actual investment and he's just asking about a 2nd or retirement property in the country

Many parts of SW MS is overpriced for what you get. Will it keep appreciating? Probably. Maybe not. Who knows?
I’ve said many times that, unless you find a deal and buy way under market, it’s not a lucrative investment, especially with the awful timber market. If you get significant personal satisfaction and enjoyment from having your own place, then it’s not a terrible idea. Taxes and cost of upkeep, equipment, and maintenance quickly erode the modest appreciation.

If you are not already a MS resident, owning property in Mississippi may slightly complicate your estate planning.

I’ve known a bunch of folks who have bought empty acreage in Mississippi for hunting purposes. Varied outcomes, good luck if you do it.

I’m not interested in a 40 acre bloc but maybe a minimum of 20 if it’s all wooded. I see often the ones that are for sale have been clear cut recently so definitely not interested in that.
Besides developing food plots, and cutting initial trails what other tasks are needed? Pardon me for being naive…..

Clear cut turns into browse quickly. If a portion of a tract has been cut, that can be a positive for hunting.
