Wooded Acreage with Highway Access in Southwest Missouri

The hills and hollows of western Barry County never disappoint. Whether it’s hunting morels and spring turkeys under a canopy of dogwoods and redbuds, chasing a giant whitetail buck in the November rut, or just enjoying the foliage on a crisp October day, this land represents all there is to love about life in the Ozarks.

These 38 +/- acres are your own blank canvas, readily awaiting your input to make them into your very own paradise. The hardwood ridges are mostly covered in timber, including plenty of white and red oaks, hickories, and walnut. These ridges are separated like fingers on a hand by valleys full of ferns and spring wildflowers, and this rolling terrain creates the feel of a more expansive acreage. This is even further enhanced at the west property line, where you’ll have your own private access onto the 4,035 acre Flag Springs Conservation Area, offering room to roam for days.

As you enter the property, a cleared trail welcomes you into the timber, dropping gently into a wet-weather creek that appears to have a small spring feeding it. The trail crosses the main hollow, then meanders up the other side into several cleared ridges that would be the ideal setting for a secluded home or cabin. These clearings also offer great hunting opportunities to intercept a cruising buck or perhaps some pasture for grazing animals. Numerous big, mature whitetails have been harvested and captured on trail cameras over the years, and with some habitat management, you could enhance that even more.

If your interests include casting a lure for bass and bluegill, the terrain features also present an opportunity to impound some water and create a nice pond on the property. Access is easy and smooth, with a paved highway all the way from town to the driveway entrance - a big plus compared to many properties that require miles of travel on rough gravel roads.

And finally, if you’re looking for a bit more room to roam, additional acreage is available next door. Properties like this in the area don’t come along too often. To schedule an appointment to see this one before it’s gone, call Land Agent Scott Sudkamp at (417) 321-5427 today.
