Land you can actually build on

If you have been looking for land to build on, real land rather than a quarter acre slice of a subdivision, this is the lot that changes the conversation. McBriar is a nine lot estate subdivision where the lots run from 2.88 to 6.33 acres. This one sits at the end of the street in a cul de sac, so there is no through traffic and neighbors on one side only.

Here is what makes it different from buying raw acreage out in the county. City water, city sewer and underground utilities are already at the lot. You are not drilling a well, you are not installing a septic system, and you are not running power from a pole a quarter mile down the road. The infrastructure is done. What you need is a set of plans and a builder.

The lot dimensions run 41 x 286 x 141 x 500 x 275 x 477 x 69, which is an irregular shape, and that works in your favor. You have real choice about where to site the house, how to run the driveway, and where to put outbuildings if that is part of the plan. There is a mix of mature pine and open ground, so you get shade and privacy without paying to clear the whole thing.

Good to know

Questions buyers ask about this lot

Can I build any style of home in McBriar Subdivision?

Yes, as long as the home is at least 2,500 square feet. This is a custom build subdivision, not a cookie cutter development. Acadian, farmhouse, ranch, craftsman, modern, you bring the plans and your builder brings the hammer.

Are city water and sewer available?

Yes. City water and city sewer from the City of Purvis are already at the street, so no well and no septic system. That combination is increasingly rare for acreage in Lamar County, and it is the main reason this lot is simpler to build on than raw land out in the county.

Is 23 McBriar in a flood zone?

No. The lot is not in a flood zone, which simplifies both construction and insurance.

What school district is this lot in?

The lot is inside Purvis city limits and zoned for the Purvis schools in the Lamar County School District. Confirm current attendance areas with the district.

What are the HOA fees?

$300 a year, plus a one time $100 initial assessment. The HOA covers road maintenance and common area upkeep. There is no pool and no clubhouse.

How far is it to Hattiesburg?

About 20 minutes by way of I-59, with easy access to the University of Southern Mississippi, Forrest General Hospital and everything along the Hardy Street corridor.

How big is the lot exactly, and what shape is it?

3.85 acres. The dimensions run 41 x 286 x 141 x 500 x 275 x 477 x 69, so it is an irregular shape rather than a rectangle. That gives you more freedom about where to place the house and the driveway than a standard lot would.

Are there custom builders available to build here?

Yes. Lamar County has a number of custom builders working in this area, and McBriar already has custom homes standing in it, so the street is not theoretical. Which builder suits you depends on your budget, your plans and how hands on you want to be. Call or text me and I will walk you through who is currently taking work and who fits what you have in mind.

How do I get started building a house?

In practice it runs in this order. Secure the lot, so you know what you are designing for. Settle on plans, either an existing plan or a custom design. Choose your builder and get a real bid against those plans. Then line up construction financing, which works differently from a normal mortgage and converts to one when the house is finished. Most people trying to do all four at once get stuck, so we take them in order. If you are at the very beginning, start with the lot and a conversation.

Where can I look at floor plans?

House Plan Zone in Hattiesburg is the local option most people do not know about. They sell plans online, but you can also make an appointment and sit down with their designers in person to go through plans and change them to suit you. They carry over 150 pre drawn plans and offer full custom design. Working with a designer who knows Mississippi building codes and our soil conditions beats buying a plan off the internet and hoping it works here. Many builders also have their own plan libraries. Call or text me and I will point you at the right one for what you are trying to build.

Want to walk this lot?

Land is hard to judge from photographs. Let me meet you out here and walk the boundary with you so you can see where a house would actually sit. Call or text and we will find a time.
