Golden Pines Ranch is a legacy property located 8 miles SE of Perkinston and 22 miles north of the white sand beaches, golf courses, and casinos of Biloxi. It can be purchased with 96 acres for $1,750,000 or 235 acres for $2,299,000. This showplace ranch combines extensive infrastructure with natural beauty and unmatched recreational access, making it ideal for a cattle farm, equestrian operation, income-generating venue, or corporate retreat. Hay fields and improved pasture are fenced and cross-fenced with high tensile electric fencing, strategically placed water troughs, and working pens for livestock. Mature pine timber offers aesthetic value, shade for the cattle, and habitat for the deer and turkeys. If you purchase the entire 235 acre property, Golden Pines Ranch has almost a mile of shared boundary with Desoto National Forest, a 518,000-acre public preserve known for its exceptional biological diversity and endless opportunities for trail riding, hunting, hiking, and camping. The 4,000 SF home was built in 2005 and has 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, and the master suite includes his and hers bathrooms and walk-in closets. Other notable features include a full-house generator, private outdoor hot/cold dipping pool, a large heated swimming pool, and mature landscaping that creates a luxurious outdoor living space. The Lodge is a 20,800 SF 2 story building in the heart of the ranch. 10,400 SF on the 2nd floor is built for hospitality and function and features 2 one bedroom apartment suites, 9 hotel-style guest rooms with private baths and walk-in closets, a spacious kitchen, dining and living areas, conference room and office, laundry facilities, and men's and women's restrooms with 3 shower stalls in each. The 10,400 SF 1st floor of the lodge is divided into 2 spaces: a 5,800 SF horse barn with 12 stalls, wash bay, tack room and feed room, and 4,600 SF of climate-controlled space currently used as finished flex space and a garage/workshop area with a car lift, offering full flexibility for business operations, vehicle storage, or hobbyist use. You could add more horse stalls in this flex space as there were additional stalls there when the building was originally built in 2005. Next to the Lodge is a 150x200 covered riding arena that is sprinkled, lighted, has a custom blend dirt, and a 560 SF workshop/office/press box. Golden Pines Ranch also features a 19-spot RV campground, offering excellent infrastructure for group events, agritourism, or seasonal income. Each site is accessible and could be expanded or upgraded based on the buyer's goals. A 2,508 SF RV storage building with two 10' roll-up doors provides secure storage for rigs, trailers, or equipment. Whether you envision a family compound, a working cattle or horse ranch, an outfitting or event venue, or a nature-based resort with income potential, Golden Pines Ranch offers the infrastructure, location, and scale to bring your vision to life. The proximity to Desoto National Forest opens the gate to thousands of recreational acres just beyond your fence line, while the coast's amenities are less than 30 minutes away. The world class, state owned, McHenry Shooting Facility nearby offers rifle and pistol ranges, skeet and trap fields and 3D archery! This is more than a property, it's a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, multi-functional estate in a region known for its natural splendor and southern charm.
