Montgomery County, MS
Land for Sale in Montgomery County, MS
Total acreage on a listing sheet rarely matches usable acreage once you account for the Big Black River bottom eating into a tract. Crew pulls current FEMA flood mapping and NRCS soil data on the specific parcel before pricing, since hill-country ridges and creek-bottom ground here carry very different value.
About the County
About Montgomery County land
Winona sits at the I-55 and US-82 interchange, with US-51 also crossing the county and MS-407 and MS-35 providing secondary access. Kilmichael and Duck Hill anchor the more rural stretches away from Winona.
The Big Black River rises on the eastern edge of the county and flows south, with Cadaretta Creek and other tributaries draining the interior. There's no federal reservoir or national-forest land in the county, so what a tract can support comes down to its own access, soils, and floodplain footprint.
Soils change a lot inside one tract. Check the specific parcel with NRCS Web Soil Survey and a walk on the ground rather than leaning on a general county description.
Local Land Market
How land trades in Montgomery County
Montgomery tracts read as hill country: upland ridges suitable for pine or mixed hardwood, hardwood coves along creek drains, and heavier, wetter bottoms along the Big Black and its tributaries that cut into usable acreage.
On any specific tract, legal access from a maintained public road, current FEMA flood mapping, and soil data matter more than any general county description.

Buying Land
Buying land in Montgomery County
Most costly surprises on a rural purchase turn up before closing, not after. Here is what we check with buyers on a Montgomery 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 Montgomery County
Acreage alone does not tell you what your land is worth. We price each Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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
Montgomery County land — questions we hear
- What should I check on a Big Black or Cadaretta bottom tract?
- Pull the current FEMA flood panel for that specific parcel and check NRCS Web Soil Survey for signs of wet, poorly drained ground and flood frequency. Bottom ground behaves very differently from the uplands right next to it, and it may carry jurisdictional wetlands that limit clearing or crop conversion.
- Are the uplands here good for a homesite?
- Often, yes, but slope, erosion, and septic suitability vary tract by tract. Check NRCS Web Soil Survey for the specific parcel and confirm perc-test suitability with the county health department before you assume any spot is buildable.
