Some properties have a pond. Providence Lake, located just 8 miles west of Starkville, was built around a trophy bass fishery. At the heart of this exceptional 177-acre recreational estate is a professionally engineered 10-acre trophy bass lake designed from the ground up to produce outstanding fishing. Every detail was carefully planned--from the custom lake design and engineered structure to strategically placed natural and artificial habitat and premium F1 Tiger Bass genetics. The lake has already produced bass exceeding 10 pounds, placing it among the premier private fisheries in the region. Professionally installed artificial fish habitat, live cypress trees, automatic fish feeders, a concrete boat ramp, engineered spillway, and a reinforced levee create a fishery that would be difficult and expensive to replicate. More than simply a place to catch trophy bass, Providence Lake is where families create traditions that last for generations. Picture children catching their first fish, grandchildren spending summer afternoons on the water, and evenings gathered on the porch sharing stories from another unforgettable day outdoors. Whether you're a passionate angler, entertaining clients, or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the demands of everyday life, this property offers a lifestyle few can match. Overlooking the lake is a fully furnished five-bedroom, three-bath lodge-style retreat with 5,850 square feet under roof. Finished with warm tongue-and-groove pine throughout, the home captures the feel of a classic sporting camp while providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests. A four-car garage plus an additional two-car storage area offers ample space for boats, side-by-sides, ATVs, hunting equipment, and recreational gear. After a day on the lake or in the woods, relax beside the 16x32 saltwater swimming pool surrounded by a spacious concrete patio. Large covered porches overlook the pool, creating the perfect place to grill, unwind in the shade, and keep an eye on the kids. Just steps from the shoreline sits a 300-square-foot lake cottage that serves equally well as a guest cabin, waterfront office, children's clubhouse, or dedicated fishing headquarters. While the lake is undoubtedly the centerpiece, the recreation extends far beyond the shoreline. The property offers outstanding deer and turkey hunting with three established food plots, multiple deer stands that convey with the sale, and more than five miles of maintained roads and trails providing excellent access throughout the property. The trail system also allows for prescribed burning and thoughtful wildlife management to further enhance the habitat. Along the northern boundary, more than 2,300 feet of Cypress Creek winds through mature hardwood timber, creating beautiful scenery, attracting wildlife, and even yielding the occasional Native American arrowhead. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the two-stall horse barn with tack room and fenced paddock, while additional improvements include a 20' x 30' equipment shed, automatic iron entrance gate, an $85,000 professionally constructed asphalt driveway, and a complete smart security system. Pine timber of varying ages enhances the property's beauty while providing long-term investment potential through future timber income. Providence Lake is a rare opportunity to own a fully developed sporting estate where trophy bass fishing takes center stage while exceptional deer and turkey hunting, comfortable lodge-style accommodations, and future timber value complete the package. Every improvement has been thoughtfully designed so the next owner can begin enjoying the property immediately. Whether you're searching for a private family retreat, a place to entertain friends and clients, or a legacy property that can be enjoyed for generations, Providence Lake offers an extraordinary combination of world-class fishing, outstanding hunting, and the peace and quiet that only a truly exceptional recreational property can provide.
