A practical checklist for buying acreage, hunting land or a homesite in Itawamba County, Mississippi.
8 min read
Land looks simple and is not. These are the items that actually decide whether a tract is a good buy or an expensive lesson.
Access and road frontage
Is there deeded, recorded access, or are you relying on a handshake across a neighbor's field? A tract with no legal access is worth a fraction of one with frontage on a county-maintained road.
Utilities and septic
Find out what it costs to bring power and water to your building site — that number can run into real money on a deep tract. If it needs septic, the soil has to perc; get that answered before closing, not after.
Boundaries and survey
Old fence lines are not boundaries. If the tract has not been surveyed recently, budget for one. It protects you and it protects your resale.
Timber, minerals and use
Ask whether timber has been cut recently, whether mineral rights convey, and whether there are hunting leases, pipeline easements or utility easements in place.
