Land for Sale in Lawrence County, MS
Buying bottomland along the Pearl River in Lawrence County without checking the current flood panel is a common and expensive mistake. We pull the FEMA panel and NRCS soils data for the specific parcel before ever discussing a price, whether the tract sits in the Monticello bottoms or up on the pine ridges.
About the County
About Lawrence County land
Soils change a lot inside one tract. Check the specific parcel with NRCS Web Soil Survey and a walk on the ground rather than trusting a county-wide description.
US-84 crosses east–west between Brookhaven and Prentiss. MS-27 runs north–south through Monticello, and MS-43 adds further highway access, though county and forest roads carry most rural traffic.
Lake Mary Crawford is a state-managed fishing lake administered by MDWFP. Access rules are set by MDWFP, and adjacency to the lake is a feature specific to certain tracts that should be checked against current MDWFP boundaries.

How land trades in Lawrence County
Lawrence sits along the Pearl River corridor, with US-84 crossing east–west through Monticello. On any specific tract, legal access from a maintained public road, floodplain footprint along the Pearl on current FEMA panels, and standing timber are what set the value.
Pearl River bottoms carry meaningful floodplain and wet-soil acreage that behaves very differently from upland pine-plantation ground.

Buying Land
Buying land in Lawrence County
Most costly surprises on a rural purchase turn up before closing, not after. Here is what we check with buyers on a Lawrence County tract.
Before buying rural land
- Legal access — deeded road frontage or a recorded easement, not just a road you can drive.
- Boundaries and survey — what is flagged on the ground, and whether a new survey is worth the money.
- Utilities and septic — power, water, and whether the site will take a septic system.
- Wet or flood-prone ground — FEMA maps, wetland maps, and a walk on the tract itself.
- Usable acreage — how much of the tract you can actually build on, farm, or hunt.
- Rights, leases and restrictions — timber, hunting leases, minerals, and what is included in the sale.

Selling Land
Selling land in Lawrence County
Acreage alone does not tell you what your land is worth. We price each Lawrence County tract based on what it actually has — access, timber, water, improvements, leases, restrictions, and relevant comparable sales in Mississippi.
Before selling rural land
- Confirm acreage, boundaries, and any easements or leases on the property.
- Walk the tract for road frontage, usable interior roads, water, and timber condition.
- Get the timber looked at if it carries real value.
- Shoot drone imagery and put together boundary and plat maps buyers can read.
- Review what comparable land has actually sold for, adjusted for how it is used.
- Market it to real land buyers and stay with it through closing.

Forestry Support
Does the timber change what a Lawrence County tract is worth?
Standing timber can be one of the biggest pieces of a rural tract's value, and it is easy to guess wrong on it. Crew Land Co. handles the land sale. Southeast Forestlands handles the professional forestry work. When timber, thinning history, or replanting affects the deal, we set up that handoff before you buy, price or sell.

FAQ
Lawrence County land — questions we hear
- How should I evaluate a Pearl River bottom tract in Lawrence?
- Start with the current FEMA flood-hazard panel for the specific parcel, then check NRCS Web Soil Survey for wet soils and flooding frequency. Bottomland acreage may also carry jurisdictional wetlands that limit clearing or crop conversion.
- Does frontage on Lake Mary Crawford imply lake access?
- Not by itself. The lake is state-managed under MDWFP, and use of it is governed by MDWFP rules. A surface-adjacent parcel doesn't automatically come with dock, launch, or use rights.
