155 +/- Acre Cattle & Hunting Farm with 2 Homes & Stocked Pond

Property Description

Discover the perfect combination of productive pasture, excellent hunting, and country living on this diverse 155 +/- acre farm in Hickory County, Missouri. Offering approximately 80 acres of productive pasture/hay ground, 75 acres of timber, two residences, a stocked pond, and over 1.25 miles of road frontage, this property is ideally suited for cattle producers, hunters, investors, or anyone looking to enjoy the rural lifestyle.

As you enter the northeast corner of the property, you'll find a charming farmstead nestled among mature shade trees overlooking a beautiful 1.5 +/- acre stocked pond. The primary residence is a well-maintained 1,354 square foot, one and a half story farmhouse full of country charm. The main level features one bedroom, one full bathroom, a comfortable living room highlighted by a beautiful new gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stone surround, a spacious dining room, kitchen, and an enclosed back porch perfect for enjoying peaceful mornings overlooking the farm. Upstairs offers a small sitting or storage area along with two non-conforming bedrooms, providing additional space for family or guests.

Just steps from the main home is a beautifully renovated 1000 square foot guest house that serves as an ideal second residence, rental opportunity, or accommodations for extended family. The building includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a comfortable living area, kitchen, and a small office or storage room. Additional improvements include two storage sheds, a chicken coop, and two original barns that provide excellent storage and preserve the property's agricultural character.

The land itself is what truly sets this farm apart. Approximately 80 acres of gently rolling to nearly level creek-bottom pasture provide outstanding grazing and hay production. The established pasture consists primarily of productive cool-season grasses and legumes, making it well suited for livestock or annual hay production. A quality five-strand barbed-wire perimeter fence surrounds the farm, while existing interior electric fencing supports rotational grazing practices and efficient livestock management. Whether you're expanding an existing cattle operation or establishing a new one, this property is ready to go.

The remaining 75 +/- acres offer an outstanding recreational component, consisting of scattered timber pockets and one larger block of predominantly oak and hickory timber that was selectively logged in 2022. The diverse habitat creates exceptional wildlife cover, and during inspection, numerous signs of whitetail deer and wild turkey were observed throughout the property. Several natural openings within the timber could easily be converted into strategically placed food plots, providing excellent opportunities to attract and hold mature bucks throughout the season.

Another unique advantage is the property's exceptional accessibility. With approximately 1.25 miles of county road frontage, there is tremendous flexibility for future improvements, multiple access points, or even the potential for future division. Approximately one mile of the road frontage already has overhead electrical service available, adding significant value and future development potential.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being centrally located between Lake of the Ozarks, Truman Lake, and Pomme de Terre Lake. Ideally situated in the heart of Missouri's premier outdoor recreation region, this property offers exceptional access to some of the state's best hunting, fishing, and boating destinations. The property is conveniently located just 3.5 miles from Mule Shoe Conservation Area; you'll enjoy thousands of acres of public land for hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The property is also conveniently located 15 miles from Hermitage, 25 miles from Warsaw, and 35 miles from Camdenton, providing easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and essential services.

Whether you're searching for a productive livestock farm, an income-producing hay operation, a premier hunting property, or a diversified investment with multiple homes and outstanding recreational opportunities, this Hickory County farm offers a rare combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find. Productive agricultural land, quality hunting habitat, abundant improvements, and exceptional road frontage come together to create a property with endless possibilities.
