Malone sits in the county's far north on SR-71, in open farm country a few miles from the Alabama line. It is one of the county's smallest incorporated towns — a school, churches, and farmland in every direction. The land around Malone grows peanuts, cotton, corn, and soybeans, and beef cattle graze the pastures between the row-crop fields.
For Land Buyers
The north county around Malone is genuine agricultural land: row crops, pasture, and hay ground with long sight lines and dark skies. Prices run below the Marianna orbit, and parcels tend to be larger and squarer — this is land that was assembled for farming, not carved up for lots. Dothan is the practical hub for shopping and medical care. Buyers should pay attention to agricultural leases, irrigation infrastructure, and grain-country practicalities like equipment access when evaluating working ground here. Large family-held tracts also make a current boundary survey especially worth the cost.
Worth Knowing
Because the north county has stayed consolidated in farms, listings around Malone are fewer — but when working land does come up, it is often the real thing. If this is your target area, it pays to have someone watching the market for you rather than waiting for the right listing to surface on its own.
