69 acres, more or less, abandoned farm with good building sites & small pond located in the Flatwood Grove community on CR 830 (about 2,370 feet of frontage) between Blue Mountain & Cotton Plant in SW Tippah County. As the crow flies, Ripley is about 8 miles to the north & New Albany is some 9 miles to the south.
It appears from historical aerials that about 22 acres were in cultivation and/or grass some 7-8 years ago. A majority of this area is now growing up in small saplings but could easily be reclaimed by bushhog or similar equipment. There are about 4 acres of mixed hardwoods, the pond covers about .50 acre and the balance of the acreage (about 42.50 acres) is cutover timberland, 6-7 years post harvest. We recently bushhogged several lanes through the cutover (see pics)& were surprised to see how much of this area could be opened up with a minimal amount of work. A USDA CRP cont...

We recently bushhogged several lanes through the cutover (see pics)& were surprised to see how much of this area could be opened up with a minimal amount of work. A USDA CRP contract covers 8.20 acres of the open land under the Filter Strip practice (CP21) and pays $656.00 annually. The contract will expire 09/30/2023.
The soils and topography are well suited for a broad range of agricultural practices. The USDA classifies these soils as silty loam in composition with good production potential. The topography sets up nicely in one spot for a lake if that appeals to you and signs on the ground indicate an active wildlife presence for the sportsman.
Although short on eye appeal at the moment, with some vision & hard work, this tract of land can be transformed into that home place with supporting mini-farm that so many dream of. Could this be you?
