55 acre old family farm/homeplace near Hickory Flat

55.00 acre (per tax roll), more or less, old family farm/homeplace located between Hickory Flat & Ashland on Thompson Road in the Pine Grove Community of south-central Benton County. As the crow flies, New Albany is 17 miles to the SE, Ripley is 14 miles to the ENE, Oxford (The University of Mississippi/Ole Miss) is 29 miles SW, Tupelo is 40 miles to the SE and Olive Branch is 42 miles to the NW. Power and community water are readily available. This place has been owned by the same family for four (4) generations and down through the years it has supported the family’s needs as a combination row crop/cattle farm. Is now being leased (verbal/short term) as a cattle farm alone. It has been a number of years since it has been owner operated and is in need of some good management and “tender loving” care to be restored to its glory days. With rich, fertile soils (silt loam in composition), one will have the advantage to pursue a broad range of agricultural options for their management plans. Year round flowing Chilli Creek (note pics) forms the south line and its width and high banks provide an excellent buffer and added layer of privacy one can expect to enjoy out here. There is a nice stand of mature hardwoods in the SW corner along the creek and also about a rare 4 acre stand of merchantable cypress located in the NW corner. Remnants of the old home, barn and out building can be found in an overgrown area just off Thompson road. And the sportsman will find plenty of action hunting the many deer, turkey, rabbit, squirrel and other assorted critters that freely roam these fields & woods. Here lies a rare opportunity for all you folks out there who have dreamed of having your own family farm to either to permanently settle on or just escape to with family and friends for the weekends or special occasions. Hope you will want to come take a peek with me soon, you will not be disappointed! All on-site inspections must be approved by Broker.
