Common uses
Around Tupelo, small acreage is most often bought for a homesite with room, pasture for horses or cattle, recreational use, or as a hold near a growth corridor. Larger tracts move toward agricultural, timber and development interest.
What separates a good homesite tract
A high, dry building spot with reasonable driveway access, power close by, and soils that will perc for septic where sewer isn't available. Ten acres of bottomland with no dry building site is not the same product as ten acres of rolling pasture.
Pasture, woods and mixed tracts
Mixed tracts — some open, some wooded — tend to have the widest buyer appeal. Fully wooded acreage brings timber and recreation buyers; fully open acreage brings ag and homesite buyers.
Holding costs
Property taxes on land are modest relative to improved property, but fencing, bush-hogging and road maintenance are real. Factor them into any hold.
Questions people ask
Can I split acreage into lots later?
That depends on county subdivision rules, access and utilities. Check with the county before buying with that plan.
What is a perc test?
An evaluation of whether soils will support a septic system, which determines buildability where public sewer isn't available.
