A rural northern Mississippi community known for its farming and hunting
Coldwater is a sprawling neighborhood in rural Tate County. Part of the Mississippi Delta region, the area encompasses several small hamlets including Independence, Arkabutla and the township of Coldwater. This laid-back little community is home to rolling green hills and scenic bluffs. Known for its fertile soil, Coldwater was first settled by farmers from several southern states including Virginia. “Coldwater still has a country feel to it. There is still alot of agriculture here. There are horse and cattle farms and a lot of croplands and woods,” says Benny McCall, a Realtor with Turn Key Realty Group LLC, who is from the area. “If there is one thing that really stands out, it’s the hunting. Hunters come here from around the world. Tate County’s rich soil is full of minerals. As a result, the deer in this area are some of the healthiest in the entire country and the venison is some of the best tasting,” says Realtor McCall.
