85.50 acre abandoned farm
85.50 acres, more or less, abandoned farm located just off Hwy 15 near Blue Mountain in SW Tippah County with frontage on CR 826 to the west for 2,340 feet and CR 827 to the south for 1,026 feet (a total of 3,366 feet). As the crow flies, Ripley is about 7 miles to the northeast, New Albany 11 miles to the south and the Toyota Plant at Blue Springs is some 20 miles to the southeast.
Of the estimated 32 acres that is open ground, about 9 acres was farmed in soybeans last year and the balance lay idle. The rest of the farm, some 43 acres, is covered by a solid stand of mixed hardwoods of merchantable value. There is also a 1.00 acre lake located near the NE corner.

The soils (silty loam in composition) and topography are well suited for and will offer the new owner a broad range of agricultural practice options to choose from. Although the current owners have managed and enjoyed this place for wildlife over the past few years, it is my understanding that, in the not too distant past, it was a cattle farm. And, although spots are in poor condition, the perimeter fencing is more than salvageable. Likewise, the old barn could stand some TLC.
Although a little short on eye appeal at the moment, with some vision & hard work (a little bush hogging & dozier work would go a long way), this tract of land can be transformed into that sustainable family farm that so many dream of. Could this be you?
