DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Whispering Pines Plantation, one of the finest turnkey sporting estates and high-fence hunting operations in the Southeastern United States. Spanning an impressive ±2,511 surveyed acres, this extraordinary property offers a seamless blend of luxury accommodations, world-class hunting, premier fishing, sustainable timber production, and exceptional recreational amenities—all thoughtfully developed into a private legacy estate unlike anything else on the market.

From the moment the automated entrance gates swing open, the plantation sets a tone of understated elegance. Towering pines line the drive as it winds toward an impressive cypress lodge that immediately commands attention, overlooking beautifully manicured grounds and a resort-style pool. Every improvement, every road, every food plot, and every acre has been carefully planned to create a property equally suited for entertaining clients, hosting family gatherings, operating an elite hunting destination, or simply escaping to the outdoors.

Whether envisioned as a multigenerational family compound, a corporate retreat, or one of the premier sporting plantations in the South, Whispering Pines Plantation is a property that offers experiences few others can match.

Location

Perfectly positioned just 32 miles from Gulfport and approximately 30 miles from the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, Whispering Pines Plantation offers remarkable accessibility without sacrificing privacy. Guests can arrive from nearly anywhere in the country and find themselves sitting on the lodge porch overlooking the plantation in well under an hour.

The surrounding Gulf Coast region is celebrated for its championship golf courses, award-winning restaurants, deep-sea fishing, casinos, and beautiful white-sand beaches, allowing owners to enjoy both the quiet solitude of the plantation and the conveniences of the Mississippi Gulf Coast whenever desired.

Despite its proximity to modern amenities, the plantation feels completely secluded. Once inside the gates, the outside world quickly disappears, replaced by towering pines, abundant wildlife, and the peaceful rhythm that only a property of this scale can provide.

Landscape

Whispering Pines Plantation offers an incredibly diverse landscape that has been meticulously managed for both wildlife and long-term sustainability. Rolling pine forests transition into mature hardwood bottoms while Belle Creek gently winds through portions of the property, creating exceptional wildlife habitat and adding natural beauty throughout the plantation.

The ranch is divided into three distinct management areas, each serving a unique purpose. Approximately 1,850 acres comprise the primary high-fenced game enclosure, while an additional 515-acre Buck Pen has been specifically designed for intensive trophy whitetail management. Completing the property are approximately 140 unfenced acres that provide additional recreational opportunities and natural habitat.

Southern pine plantations of varying ages blanket much of the property, providing both significant long-term timber value and ideal bedding cover for wildlife. Mature sawtimber, chip-and-saw stands, hardwood creek bottoms, and stream management zones combine to create a remarkably healthy ecosystem while generating future income potential through sustainable forestry practices.

The plantation's exceptional infrastructure is equally impressive. Nearly 35 miles of well-maintained gravel roads provide outstanding accessibility throughout the property, allowing owners to comfortably explore every corner by truck or ATV regardless of season.

Improvements

The improvements at Whispering Pines Plantation rival those found on many luxury resorts while maintaining the warmth and character expected of a true Southern sporting estate.

Serving as the centerpiece of the property is a spectacular cypress lodge completed in 2018. Designed with entertaining in mind, the lodge features five luxurious master suites, expansive gathering spaces, soaring ceilings, and a professional-grade gourmet kitchen capable of accommodating everything from intimate family dinners to large corporate events. Oversized screened porches complete with an outdoor kitchen create seamless indoor-outdoor living while overlooking the resort-style swimming pool, spa, and waterslide.

Just beyond the lodge sits a beautifully appointed three-bedroom, two-bath guest home, offering comfortable accommodations for additional family members, hunting guests, or business associates.

Supporting the plantation is an impressive 11,000-square-foot shop and operations facility that reflects the property's turnkey nature. Inside, owners will find a one-bedroom caretaker's apartment, extensive equipment storage, dedicated tool rooms, feed storage, and a spacious workshop capable of handling virtually every aspect of ranch maintenance. The building also features an outstanding outdoor entertaining area where hunters naturally gather after successful days afield.

Designed for functionality as much as comfort, the improvements also include a mechanized elevated game cleaning facility with dual electric hoists, a walk-in cooler, and dedicated processing areas that make handling harvested game both efficient and professional. An additional 5,000 square feet of covered equipment storage provides ample room for tractors, implements, UTVs, feeders, trailers, and ranch equipment while maintaining a clean, organized headquarters.

Every improvement has been thoughtfully designed to support both luxurious entertaining and the day-to-day demands of managing a world-class sporting property.

Water Features

Water plays a defining role throughout Whispering Pines Plantation.

At the heart of the property lies a breathtaking 24-acre surveyed trophy lake that offers outstanding fishing and remarkable scenic beauty. Complete with its own private boathouse, the lake becomes a gathering place where mornings begin with bass exploding on topwater lures and evenings end watching sunsets reflect across calm waters.

The lake is professionally managed and stocked with trophy largemouth bass, crappie, and bream, providing exceptional fishing throughout the year. A separate catfish pond located near the lodge adds another recreational feature perfect for family gatherings and introducing younger generations to the outdoors.

Belle Creek gracefully meanders through portions of the plantation while numerous strategically placed ponds and wildlife watering stations provide dependable water across the entire property. These water resources not only enhance the hunting experience but also support healthy wildlife populations and contribute to the plantation's exceptional ecological diversity.

Wildlife

Whispering Pines Plantation has earned its reputation as one of the Southeast's premier hunting destinations through years of thoughtful wildlife management and exceptional habitat development.

The plantation supports an extraordinary collection of both native and exotic game species. Trophy whitetail deer are intensively managed within the Buck Pen while the larger game enclosure supports an impressive variety of free-ranging exotics including elk, red stag, axis deer, fallow deer, blackbuck antelope, Père David's deer, aoudad, bison, zebra, and zonkeys.

Beyond the large game species, thriving populations of wild turkey, bobwhite quail, dove, ducks, and numerous native birds provide outstanding year-round wing shooting opportunities.

Sixteen professionally developed food plots are strategically positioned throughout the plantation, each equipped with premium Redneck shooting houses and carefully maintained to maximize wildlife health and hunting success. Combined with dependable water, excellent road access, abundant forage, and carefully managed habitat, the result is a hunting experience that rivals the finest private sporting estates in North America.

Whether hosting corporate clients, pursuing trophy exotics, introducing grandchildren to their first hunt, or simply watching wildlife from the porch each evening, Whispering Pines Plantation delivers unforgettable outdoor experiences across every season.

Use & Investment

Few properties offer the versatility found at Whispering Pines Plantation.

The plantation is ideally suited as a private family retreat, luxury hunting operation, corporate entertainment venue, conservation-minded investment, or income-producing sporting property. The combination of premium improvements, mature timber, exceptional hunting infrastructure, trophy fishing, and luxury accommodations creates multiple avenues for both personal enjoyment and long-term financial appreciation.

Properties of this caliber are increasingly difficult to assemble, requiring decades of planning, development, and stewardship to replicate. Whispering Pines Plantation offers buyers the rare opportunity to acquire a completely turnkey legacy property where every detail has already been thoughtfully executed.

From its spectacular cypress lodge and resort-style amenities to its professionally managed wildlife program, trophy fishing lake, mature timber, and exceptional hunting opportunities, every aspect of the property has been designed to create an experience that is both luxurious and deeply connected to the outdoors.

Whether welcoming family for generations of holiday traditions, entertaining business clients in a setting unlike any boardroom, or enjoying the quiet satisfaction of watching trophy wildlife move across carefully managed landscapes, Whispering Pines Plantation offers a lifestyle few properties can provide.

Legacy properties of this scale, quality, and completeness rarely become available. Whispering Pines Plantation is far more than a ranch—it is a destination, an investment, and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the Southeast's truly iconic sporting estates.
