Stunning Ozarks Property Adjoining Roaring River State Park

Property Description

Tucked away in the hills and valleys of southern Barry County, you’ll find this enchanting piece of the Ozarks that’s ready for new ownership. The Ozark Mountains are renowned for their natural beauty, and this feature-packed property offers plenty of things you’ll love. Nestled up against the north end of Roaring River State Park, it beckons you to explore, hunt, hike, and just enjoy the beautiful scenery that’s found in every direction.

The farm is accessed by two public roads, with Farm Road 1135 offering access through the state park, and Farm Road 1150 branching off of Highway 86 and coming into the north end of the property. The access through the state park is unique, in that it’s a little-known public road that feels like your own private access. In addition, an old county road runs along part of the north end of the land, providing a convenient shortcut between the maintained roads, and a deeded easement runs up to the timbered ridge in the property’s northwest corner.

A small off-grid cabin provides good shelter and a base of operations for weekend fishing trips to the state park or a deer hunt with friends and family. The cabin is modest but well-built, and could even provide some income as a rustic short-term rental. A 27 acre hay field on the east side of the farm provides opportunities for wildlife food plots, grazing acres for livestock, or a spectacular build site for a secluded home or cabin.

The woods are full of mature hardwoods, with oaks, hickories, and walnuts covering the hills and hollows. The terrain is a mix of rugged and gentle slopes, flat-topped ridges, and gravel-bottomed stream beds, with ancient rock outcroppings scattered throughout. Wildlife species of many kinds are abundant, and hunters will appreciate the more than 4,400 feet of shared border with the north end of Roaring River State Park. Because this part of the park is so remote and hard to access, it effectively serves as a sanctuary for deer and other wildlife. In addition, more than 25,000 acres of public land are nearby, including the Mark Twain National Forest and conservation areas managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation, so you’ll never run out of places to explore, hunt, and hike.

With all of these features, this is a spectacular southwest Missouri farm in a class that rarely comes to market. To schedule an appointment to see this property before it’s gone, call Land Agent Scott Sudkamp at (417) 321-5427 today.
