Ms-35 Charleston, MS 38921

Located near the corner of Hwy 32 and Hwy 35 in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, ''The Ford Place'' is a very diverse tract both in topography and usage. It's comprised of a combination of fertile delta farm ground and hilly recreational land, offering the rare opportunity to acquire both in a single estate. On the west side of Hwy 35 is the farm tract with 134.5 acres of landformed and irrigated crop ground. One well on the south side of the farm tract irrigates the property. The crop history records show cotton was grown in 2024, sweet potatoes in 2023, and soybeans in 2020-2021.

Across the highway are 17 acres of bottom ground on the south side of Tallaha Road, and 70 acres of hill ground on the north side of Tallaha. The hill ground is beautiful with two small ponds, a creek cutting through it, and several open fields for food plots or garden tracts. The area is well-known for hunting, where turkeys, big delta deer, and a variety of other wildlife are plentiful. There are multiple home sites with picturesque views of the rolling hills and woods. The property has several existing roads, but frontage on Tallaha and Hwy 35 offer plenty of places to add new access roads if multiple homes were built.

For informational purposes, this property is owned by the University of Mississippi. The proceeds from the sale will go into an endowment fund to be used for academic scholarships for Tallahatchie County students, as requested by the generous donor of the estate.

* Community water available in the area through Paynes Water Association.

** The farm ground is not leased for this year, but a hunting lease is in place until 12/31/25.

** Contract and terms of sale are subject to final approval by the Board of the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).

*** The sellers plan to review any and all offers on April 15, 2025 to make sure that all buyers have had ample time to view the property.
