Rare opportunity to own 40 acres in Lafayette County with Oak Grove schools, low county taxes, and an incredible mix of open ground, timber, recreation, and future possibilities. Approximately 5 acres of open field greet you before crossing the creek and entering what feels like a whole different world. Beyond the creek, the property becomes heavily wooded and incredibly private, with established ATV trails winding through the acreage, a hidden pond, an approximately 1-acre secluded clearing perfect for a food plot, and an abundance of wildlife. Follow the terrain up to the ridge where mature oak trees, beautiful elevated views, and a plentiful acorn crop create an ideal natural habitat for deer and other wildlife. Whether you’re a hunter, outdoor enthusiast, or simply looking for a private place to escape, this property offers something special. A 30x50 outbuilding with electricity provides plenty of room for equipment, ATVs, a workshop, or storage. Adding even more versatility, the property offers county road access from both Milam and Shackleford Road, creating excellent potential for multiple building sites or future possibilities. Build your dream home, create a family retreat, hunt your own land, or simply enjoy 40 acres of privacy and nature just minutes from town.
