Slate Springs is a small, close-knit community where quiet roads and wide-open views meet everyday convenience. Set in the southwest corner of Calhoun County, it sits along Highway 9 with quick connections to errands and ballgames in Calhoun City, local shops in Bruce, and festivities like the fall sweet potato celebrations in Vardaman. Weekends often mean a short drive to waterfront sunsets and crappie fishing at Grenada Lake, supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ resources at Grenada Lake, or picnics and paddling at Hugh White State Park.
Families appreciate the steady support of county schools and local enrichment through the Mississippi State University Extension – Calhoun County, which offers youth programs, gardening know-how, and small business resources. Healthcare needs are covered close to home at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Calhoun in Calhoun City. For higher education, residents look to Holmes Community College in nearby Grenada and the research and athletics hub at Mississippi State University in Starkville, with career opportunities and cultural events spanning the region, from Eupora to the I-55 corridor.
Whether you’re seeking acreage for a garden, a starter home with room to grow, or a peaceful retirement retreat, Slate Springs delivers a slower pace with easy access to essentials.
