Welcome to the Sharkey 52.87, located just four miles southeast of Rolling Fork. This Sharkey County farm features 52.87 acres of Mississippi Delta bottomland just waiting on your recreational development. According to historical imagery, the western 20 acres appear to have been cutover approximately six to ten years ago, providing the perfect thicket for deer bedding. This area would be great for a new two to three acre wildlife plot or a few nice shooting lanes. The remainder of the property consists of expired CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) timberland. The current owner started some hedge cutting but there is plenty of room for additional development measures to provide more habitat. A perimeter road is in place for traversing the property without blowing out the entire farm.
This general area is known for producing trophy whitetail, hogs, small game, and the occasional turkey. If youre a public land hunter, the Sharkey 52.87 sits less than a mile northwest of the Little Sunflower River, less than a mile northwest of the Delta National Forest, and less than ten miles northeast of the Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge. The farm enjoys 1,250+ frontage feet along the west side of Highway 16.
If you are looking for a place to build a camp or home, public water is through the City of Rolling Fork and Twin County EPA is the power provider which is available along the road frontage. Most of the Mississippi Delta is located within the FEMA Flood Zone and this tract is no different. A cabin would need to be elevated out of the flood zone.
The location is convenient, being just 35 miles northeast of Vicksburg, 48 miles northwest of Madison, and 170 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, LA.
