A 1940 house on 1.5 acres in Carroll County, Mississippi, with an in-ground pool in the backyard, for $127,000. That combination is not easy to find at any price.
The house itself is two bedrooms and two baths across 1,350 square feet. Built in 1940, so there is real age here, which in a well-maintained home often means thicker walls, wood floors, and details you do not get in newer construction. The listing does not go deep on interior specifics, so the character of the place is something you would need to see in person to fully read.
What the listing does make clear is the land and what is on it. The 1.5 acres give you genuine breathing room, not just a wide yard but actual space. There is room to grow things, to spread out, to have people over without anyone feeling stacked on top of each other. The pool is in-ground, which at this price range in a rural Mississippi county is not a given. A pergola sits nearby, which means there is already a defined outdoor space that does not require you to build one. A two-car carport protects vehicles, which matters in a place that sees real summer heat and the occasional hard rain.
Carroll County sits in the rolling hill country of north-central Mississippi, and Greenwood is the kind of town where 1.5 acres is not a stretch of the imagination. This is genuinely rural living, with the space and quiet that comes with it.
The listing does not detail recent mechanical updates, so the condition of the roof, HVAC, and electrical is something to ask about directly before going further. A house from 1940 can be solid or it can carry deferred maintenance. That gap in the data is worth closing before you get attached.
What you are getting at $127,000 is a mid-century house with two full baths, a pool, a pergola, a carport, and an acre and a half of land in a part of Mississippi where that kind of property rarely turns up at this number.
