38.60 acres in East central Union County

38.60 acres of natural growth timberland with multiple home/cabin building sites and lots of road frontage located at the intersection of CR 171 and CR 183 in the Ellistown/Alpine area of east central Union County. As the crow flies, downtown New Albany is 10 miles west, Tupelos vibrant downtown business & entertainment district is 17 miles SE, Booneville (NE Mississippi Community College) is 19 miles NE and Saltillo is 11 miles SE. And for those with school age children, this place is located just 3 miles north from the award winning and highly favored East Union School District campus at Ellistown. Power and community water are readily available. Dated aerials indicate that the timber appears to have been clearcut circa 1995 and has since naturally regenerated into a well-stocked stand of mixed hardwoods with a scattering of pines. Clear running Sawmill Creek crosses the SW corner and the topography is favorable for a lake site in the north central part of the tract should that be on your wish list. The soils (silt loam in composition) & topography in the west half of the tract are well suited for a broad range of agricultural practices should one want to harvest the timber and clear that area at some future date. Vast acres of timberlands extend for miles to the north & northwest (see aerial) and provide an excellent draw & habitat for the all the deer, turkey & small game the sportsman will most likely will encounter out here. Whether looking for a place to permanently settle down on or just to get-away for weekends and special occasions with family and friends, this could be it! All on-site inspections must be pre-approved by Broker.
