17.50 acre mini farm located near Ripley

17.50 acre mini-farm with nice hilltop building site located on CR 720 in the Buena Vista/Clarysville community of south-central Tippah County. As the crow flies, Ripley is 5 miles NW, New Albany is 12 miles SSW, Blue Mountain is 6 miles West, Booneville is 20 miles East and Tupelo is 30 miles SE. About 4.50 acres are currently in grassland with the balance of some 13 acres in merchantable timber. The soils are sandy to silt loam in composition. A small creek crosses the SE portion of this tract and the bottomland soils here are especially fertile and offer the gentleman farmer in the family a wide range of agricultural practices to choose from. The timber appears to have been clearcut in circa 1996 and an estimated 10 acres has naturally regenerated into a mature stand of pines and some 3 acres were planted to pines in circa 2000. It appears that this place was row cropped “back in the day” as evidenced by remnants of old terraces that traverse from north to south. Power is readily available but one will have to drill and rely on a private well for water. Depths of private wells in this immediate area are an estimated 200 feet. There are a number of building sites locate hereon but one in the NW corner provides an especially scenic overlook of the land. This is a nice opportunity for those wanting that private setting in the country to call home but yet convenient to nearby shopping, entertainment & employment opportunities. And given all the chaos and uncertainties we are facing right now, having a place to grow your own vegetables, fruit & meat can be a reassuring option for your family.
