Farley Place subdivision - Barton MS

This is on Farley off Byhalia road just south of Goodman road. Talked to agent Sam Edwards about this 7 lot subdivision. SamEdwardsRealtor.com. 6 of the lots are 1.5 acres. The 7th is more about 7.5 acres. He said that you could probably buy one of the 1.5 acre lots for around $50,000. Minimum house size has not been determined, but will be in the range of 1800 to 2100 sq ft. Sam is one of the partners doing the subdivision and is going to build his own house on one of the lots. The lots have electricity and gas but you have to get water from well and install septic system. Well would cost around $2300. Septic system would cost around $3500. He said the lots were too small to keep a horse on.

He also has Cypress Gates subdivison nearby which also has 7 lots. Lots there are much bigger and they cost $8000 per acre. Smallest lot is 16 acres I think.

Steve Montgomery - convenience store consultant

Talked to steve today (847-295-2418). His website is b2bsolutionsllc.com. Dean Dirks contacted him after I called Dean looking for a consultant. Steve can do a "due diligence" on numbers received from a potential c store seller to see if the store is worth buying or not. That's on an existing c store. If the deal is potential development of a new site, he has a partner who he can work with for a feasibility study. Steve told me about a c store website called CSPnet.com. It stands for convenience store petroleum.

Rossville 5 acres with horse barn

On West side of 194 about 5 miles north of Poplar and 194. Asking price is $79,000. Agent is Gloria Jones (233-2696) with ReMax. When I called her about it yesterday, she said she had sold it this past weekend. It is 240 x 900 feet with 240 feet of frontage on 194. She said you could not put a trailer home on it because it was a registered subdivision. Apparently you CAN put a trailer on land that is NOT a registered subdivsion.

Brad Halbrooke told me that you had to be zoned R1 or R2 to be allowed to put a single wide trailer on land in Fayette County. A double wide has less restrictive zoning.
