Currently, the open pasture is being utilized for hay production, but it would be perfect for cattle or horses. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and includes a really nice lake house with a cathedral ceiling that provides decking on all sides for fishing, swimming, or just watching the sunrise or evening sunset. Windows on three sides provide breathtaking views of the lake! The lake house has its own water well and another water well specifically dedicated to supplementing the lake in severe droughts. The ”Mississippi Retreat” truly checks all the boxes! Hunt, fish, swim, and trail ride to your heart’s content!
