Sell Wilkinson County, MS Land Today
Sell Your Wilkinson County Acreage Without an Agent
Woodland is the biggest land use on Wilkinson County farms. The 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture counted woodland on about 68,100 acres, compared with about 12,000 acres of cropland. Overall, 163 farms hold about 121,500 acres, roughly 28.0 percent of the county’s land area, and the average farm is about 745 acres. The Census Bureau’s 2020 Gazetteer lists about 678 square miles of land.
That mix of woods, pasture and a little cropland is the kind of land we are glad to look at. Send us a few details about your Wilkinson County land, and we will review it and make a cash offer. There are no realtor commissions or agent fees, and nothing obliges you to accept. Census Bureau estimates put the population near 7,600 in 2025, down from about 8,600 in 2020, so keeping up with land from a distance is a real issue for many owners.
What Moves Wilkinson Owners to Sell Their Land
Woodville is the county seat. Centreville and Crosby are the other towns, and both lie partly in neighboring Amite County. Out in the countryside you will find communities such as Fort Adams, Pinckneyville, Rosetta, Doloroso, Possum Corner and Wilkinson. Part of the Homochitto National Forest and the Clark Creek Natural Area also lie in the county, and across the line in Louisiana are East Feliciana, West Feliciana and Concordia parishes.
The reasons to sell are usually practical. Land is handed down to heirs who live in other states or other parts of Mississippi, and the county’s population has slipped since 2020. Others own timber or pasture they no longer have time to manage, or a parcel that never turned into the house they planned. We take each case as it comes.

Land Types in Wilkinson County
Wilkinson County land is mostly trees and grass, with only a little cropland, and the census figures show it.
- Timberland and woods. Woodland covers about 68,100 acres on 99 farms, the largest use of farmland in the county. Part of the Homochitto National Forest lies within the county, and we look at private wooded tracts nearby on their own merits.
- Pasture and cattle land. Pastureland of all types covers about 45,300 acres on 116 farms, and the census counted about 11,300 cattle and calves on 83 farms. Open pasture that is no longer grazed is welcome too.
- Small cropland. Total cropland covers 74 farms, yet only about 4,600 acres were harvested on 53 farms. Soybeans were harvested on about 2,000 acres across 6 farms, so row crops are a small part of the picture here.
- Conservation and small rural tracts. About 1,900 acres on 11 farms are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve. Small rural parcels near places like Fort Adams or Rosetta are welcome too, even if they were never farmed.
Closing a Wilkinson County Land Sale
Land sales in Wilkinson County close through a title company or a closing attorney. After the deed is signed, it is notarized and recorded with the Chancery Clerk of Wilkinson County, who keeps the county’s land records.
Not everyone who sells lives nearby, and that is fine. The title company or closing attorney will explain how to sign from where you live. Having the owners’ names ready as they appear on the deed also helps. As for money matters, closing costs are handled as set out in the purchase agreement, so we suggest reading it carefully and asking us anything that is unclear. Our overview of how we buy land across Mississippi gives more background.
We also work with landowners farther north and east. Take a look at Bolivar County land around Cleveland and Rosedale, Washington County acreage in the Delta, Sunflower County land near Indianola and Ruleville, and selling a Noxubee County farm or hunting tract.
