Union County, MS
Land for Sale in Union County, MS
Not sure how much of your Union County acreage is actually usable? A lot of the county sits at the headwaters of the Tallahatchie River, so creek bottoms often carry mapped floodplain that cuts into buildable ground. Crew checks the FEMA panel and soils for the specific tract, near New Albany on I-22, before we ever talk price.
About the County
About Union County land
Union County is hill country with upland ridges and hardwood-lined creek bottoms tied to the Tallahatchie headwaters. Soils change a lot inside one tract — check the specific parcel with NRCS Web Soil Survey and a walk on the ground rather than relying on general county patterns.
I-22 / US-78 runs east–west through New Albany between Memphis and Tupelo. MS-15 runs north–south through town, and MS-30 links New Albany east toward Booneville.
The Tallahatchie River starts in Union County and flows west toward the Delta. Its headwater creeks drain most of the county, so any bottomland on a specific tract should be checked against the current FEMA flood-hazard panel.

How land trades in Union County
Union County tracts are hill-country ground with real Tallahatchie headwater footprint. Upland ridges support pine plantation and mixed hardwood; the heads of hollows and creek bottoms often carry wetter soils and mapped floodplain that shrinks the usable acreage.

Buying Land
Buying land in Union County
Most costly surprises on a rural purchase turn up before closing, not after. Here is what we check with buyers on a Union 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 Union County
Acreage alone does not tell you what your land is worth. We price each Union 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 Union 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
Union County land — questions we hear
- How do I know how much of a Tallahatchie bottom tract is usable?
- Start with the current FEMA flood-hazard panel for the specific parcel and check NRCS Web Soil Survey for wet soils and how often the ground floods. Bottomland behaves very differently from the uplands above it, so verify buildable acreage before pricing.
- Are Union County's upland soils 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 counting on a buildable homesite.
