Situated northwest of West Point and approximately 13 miles north of Starkville, this property combines productive farmland, quality wildlife habitat, timber resources, and potential homesites in a highly desirable rural setting. The property offers frontage along Highway 47 and Wilcox Road, providing convenient access while maintaining the privacy and rural character that define this area of North Mississippi. Utilities are available along the road frontage, creating additional flexibility for future improvements. Approximately 248 acres are currently in productive leased farmland, providing agricultural income opportunities. The farm's open acreage contributes to both its productive use and wildlife appeal, creating feeding opportunities for deer, turkey, and other game species that utilize the surrounding habitat. An additional 43.6+/- acres are enrolled in the CP-38 Conservation Reserve Program. This conservation-focused program is designed to enhance habitat for upland game birds, whitetail deer, and a variety of native wildlife species. The established habitat improvements complement the agricultural acreage and timbered sections of the property, creating a balanced landscape that supports wildlife throughout the year. The remaining acreage consists of approximately 220 acres of cedar and hardwood timber. These timbered areas provide cover, bedding habitat, travel corridors, and natural diversity across the farm. The combination of farmland, CRP acreage, timber cover, and edge habitat creates an environment that supports strong wildlife populations. For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, Palo Alto Farm is located in an area recognized for quality whitetail deer hunting. Clay County has long been known for producing mature bucks, and neighboring properties have a history of successful deer management. The diverse habitat found throughout the farm provides excellent conditions for deer and turkey hunting while also supporting a variety of other wildlife species. The property's gently rolling topography is a defining feature. Long-range views stretch across portions of the farm, showcasing the natural beauty of the Black Belt Prairie landscape. Elevation changes create visual appeal while offering multiple locations that appear suitable for future homesites. Whether constructing a primary residence, weekend retreat, or family estate, the property provides numerous opportunities to take advantage of the surrounding scenery. A proposed 10-acre lake site further enhances the property's appeal. Positioned within the rolling terrain, the site offers the potential for a significant water feature that could complement recreational use, wildlife habitat, and future improvements. In addition to its current agricultural and recreational uses, the farm offers flexibility for future management goals. Existing farmland could potentially be transitioned into a cattle operation, providing another agricultural use option. Additional conservation opportunities may also exist through USDA programs such as CRP, CSP, or other conservation initiatives, subject to buyer verification and program requirements. The property's combination of income-producing farmland, conservation acreage, timber resources, hunting opportunities, potential water development, and homesite potential makes it a versatile offering in a highly sought-after area of North Mississippi.
