Country living in the city. Oversized, eight acre lot on the old channel of the Tombigbee River. Lot is situated on the Island in downtown Columbus. Lot sits in a bend that has beautiful and rare, long views of the river. Floating dock attached to a 40' gangway that walks into the gazebo at the top.

Bigfoot Country

687 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Lauderdale, MS
Enjoy 5 acres of clear pasture land and 20 acres of forestry in a secluded area that's far enough away from civilization but close enough to the highway 45. As our great-great-grandfather called it, Welcome to Bigfoot Country! Bigfoot Country has a small pond on site and over a mile of trails all over the 20 acres that is perfect for horseback riding, hiking, and ATV riding. Explore the forest on foot, horseback, or with a side by side to find the hidden spring in the woods. Deer frequent Bigfoot Country as we feed them throughout the year. A small patch of trees serves as our "bird sancturay" where you can see and hear a wide variety of birds chirping and flying through. We keep the pasture cut beautifully to fend off snakes and other unwanted pests. Pets are more than welcome, but please supervise them. We would hate for your furbabies to get hurt.
