Large lot sizes and highly rated schools in DeSoto County
In Lewisburg, houses sit on multi-acre properties, tucked behind a wall of towering evergreens and oak trees. Dry Creek and vast green fields are visible from the neighborhood’s main streets, giving the community a quiet feel despite it being a commuter hub for folks working in Tennessee. “It’s a very rural setting but close to Memphis. The next grocery store is only about 15 minutes away, and there’s a lot of interstate in between. There’s even a Methodist hospital 10 minutes away,” says Shelly Bookwalter of Century 21 #1 Realty Group, an agent with over 30 years of real estate experience in the Memphis metropolitan area. “But in that area, the first thing for new homebuyers is the school district. Everybody wants their kid there.”
Some homes in Lewisburg are tucked away from the main road and only accessible by gravel drives.

Multi-acre properties and new construction south of Olive Branch
The largest lot sizes are at the heart of Lewisburg, close to Byhalia Road and State Route 305. Because the area is a growing suburb of Memphis, most traditional-style houses were built anywhere from 1999 to 2023. Homes with 2,000 to 3,000 square feet cost between $350,000 and $485,000, and homes with at least 4,000 square feet range from $530,000 to $765,000, depending on lot features like in-ground pools or private ponds. Properties along the edges of Lewisburg include smaller lot sizes, usually because they are part of newly built subdivisions like Twin Lakes and Cayce Pointe. Homes to the east, where most of the new development is concentrated, typically range from $300,000 to $450,000, and a few older ranch-style homes can cost between $200,000 and $275,000. Though bordered by the small city of Olive Branch, “Lewisburg is in the county, which is county taxes only. The cost doubles in the city,” Bookwalter says.
Some homes in Lewisburg are situated on acres of land perfect for raising livestock.
Lewisburg is crossed by State Route 305, which runs north and south.
