Calhoun County is a small, rural river county of about 567 square miles of land. The Apalachicola River forms its eastern boundary and the Chipola River cuts through the middle. It has only two incorporated municipalities, Blountstown and Altha, so most land is unincorporated farm and timber country. Around Altha, farmers grow crops such as peanuts, corn, cotton and watermelons, and many plant pine for timber.

What Should You Know About the Calhoun County Land Market?
Two Rivers Shape the County
The Apalachicola River runs along Calhoun’s entire eastern edge, and the Chipola River bisects the county. Land near either river can include floodplain, wetlands and seasonal high water, which limit where a home, well or septic system can go. Upland parcels away from the rivers usually have fewer of those limits. Before we make an offer we check the parcel against FEMA flood maps and aerial imagery.
Farm and Timber Land
Agriculture is the main industry around Altha, with crops including tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers, peanuts, corn, wheat and cotton. Timber is also important, and many farmers plant pine. Hurricane Michael damaged more than 2.8 million acres of forest across the region in October 2018, and the timber industry losses were estimated at $1.29 billion. A tract’s current timber condition, whether mature pine, young plantation or storm-cleared, has a large effect on what buyers will pay.
Mostly Unincorporated
With only Blountstown and Altha incorporated, most Calhoun County land falls under county government, based at the courthouse on Central Avenue East in Blountstown. County offices keep Central time. When rural land has passed down through a family, title work often starts with confirming who the heirs are.
