143-Acre Tract Near Marks Listed, Signals Rural Market Activity

A 143-acre parcel of land near Marks has appeared on the LandAndFarm MLS feed through Landhawk Realty, with the listing page last checked on January 3, 2026. The property is described as a large tract suitable for hunting, recreation or timber production, and the listing highlights habitat for ducks, deer and turkey. Access is shown from Highway 6 near Marks, with proximity to I-55 and regional centers such as Oxford and the University of Mississippi noted as locational context.

Large rural listings like this matter in Quitman County because they are one of the clearest signals of activity in three local economic arenas: rural real estate, recreational services and the timber economy. A parcel of this size can support timber management plans, hunting leases or private recreation development, each of which generates different streams of local spending and employment over time. Recreational users and lessees bring demand for lodging, food services and outdoor services, while timber sales involve contractors, trucking and processing that link rural land to regional markets.

The tract’s access from Highway 6 and its regional proximity increase its marketability to buyers who value both seclusion and connectivity. That mix can attract local investors looking to consolidate holdings, absentee owners seeking recreation, or timber companies planning sustainable harvest rotations. For Quitman County officials, real estate transactions of this scale can affect property tax revenues and land-use patterns; for residents, they can change local hunting access, recreational opportunities and the character of surrounding parcels.

Because the online listing was verified on January 3, 2026, readers interested in current availability, price, maps or the legal description should contact Landhawk Realty and the named agent on the listing page to confirm the most recent status and full terms. The listing page remains the source for parcel specifics and any updates to acreage, boundaries or permitted uses.

Watch for follow-on activity: sales of large tracts can presage additional listings or shifts in local timber and recreation markets. For community leaders and residents, monitoring such transactions helps gauge outside investment interest, potential changes in land management and the near-term effects on local services and employment.
