16 acres, more or less, (subject to survey) old home place with nice building sites located on CR 6111 in the Ingram Community of SW Prentiss County and just over the county line from the bustling Saltillo/Guntown growth area of north Lee County. As the crow flies, the regional Barnes Crossing Mall is about 15 miles to the South, Tupelo's vibrant downtown business and entertainment district is about 19 miles to the South, Booneville (Northeast Mississippi Community College) is 11 miles to the NE and Baldwyn is 3 miles to the SE.
This tract is part of an old family farm that fed and nurtured the Jim Gamble family of 11 during the depression era. The old home, built circa 1900, is of no value, save perhaps some salvageable old lumber, but sits on a site that would be ideal for a new home. About 10 acres were open ground as late as 1996 but most of this has been idle for some 20 years and...
This tract is part of an old family farm that fed and nurtured the Jim Gamble family of 11 during the depression era. The old home, built circa 1900, is of no value, save perhaps some salvageable old lumber, but sits on a site that would be ideal for a new home. About 10 acres were open ground as late as 1996 but most of this has been idle for some 20 years and is now covered in young pines and hardwoods. There are a number of lanes that have been recently cleared and maintained through these woods for hunting purposes. And, given the age and size of the timber, it should be relatively easy to open up additional acreage to suit your plans. The balance of some 6 acres is covered in mature timber.
The soils are fine sandy loam in composition and the topography is gently rolling to very gently rolling and the gentleman farmer in the family will find both well suited for a wide range of agricultural practices to choose from. Also, several deer stands and some 12 wild turkeys were noticed during my recent inspection indicating an active wildlife presence.
This tract presents an ideal opportunity for those wanting that private setting in the country to call home but yet convenient to nearby shopping, entertainment and plenty of employment opportunities. Come make some memories and enjoy all the wonderful intangibles of land ownership you are sure to find out here.
