Acreage & home sites

Land for sale

Timber tracts, pasture, farmland and build-ready home sites listed by the landowner — no broker in the middle.

What sells around here

Blackland prairie row-crop ground in Lowndes and Clay County, mixed pine and hardwood tracts along the Luxapallila and Tombigbee bottoms, cattle pasture west of West Point, and five- to twenty-acre home sites within school-bus distance of Columbus and Starkville.

Due diligence on a raw tract

Before you close, walk the boundaries with the survey, check county road frontage and legal access, confirm whether utilities and a power drop are at the road, and ask about the perc test for septic. Pull the FEMA flood map — a lot of otherwise good bottomland here sits in a flood zone — and ask whether mineral and timber rights convey.

Timber, CRP and ag exemptions

Ask when the tract was last cut and whether there is a current timber cruise. Land in a CRP contract, a forest management plan, or an agricultural use assessment carries obligations and tax treatment that transfer with the deed, so get the paperwork before you make an offer.
