How much is 1 acre of land worth in Mississippi?

Just as with any state, Mississippi land varies greatly in the price per acre depending largely on the county. Acreage closer to urban hubs, like Hinds County, Madison County, Rankin County, etc. will cost more than the more rural areas like Tate or Washington County. The cost of land in Mississippi also will depend upon the potential profitability of the land. For instance, if the land has mature timber, rich soil, grazing areas, trophy game for hunting, or other potential investment opportunities, the price of the land per acre will be higher. As with any real estate market, comps in the surrounding areas, the interest rate, and the current market trends will all play a role in determining the price of the land.
