Stunning Northern Missouri Property

Property Description

Unique. One in a million. One of one. There are simply not enough superlatives available to adequately describe just how special this Mercer County, Missouri property really is. From the impeccable accommodations of a vintage log cabin, to an exceptionally managed habitat and hunting plan developed by two of the foremost experts in the outdoor industry, this farm is unlike any other you will find.

To start, no part of this farm is visible from any road and there is no road or easements through it. This property feels very remote and yet it sits conveniently between Bethany and Princeton, Missouri. I’ve lived in the area for 11 years and never knew this place existed. From a hunting perspective, this farm has been laid out with attention to detail in considering hunter access, food plot placement, and game movement. Thousands of dollars have been spent in developing habitat and hunting plans specifically for this farm and those plans will be shared with the next owner of the property. This will allow you to continue the journey in this farm’s transformation to ensure its viability as a recreational paradise for years to come. There are currently 17 acres of food plots located in the central part of the farm. Strategically planted soybeans, corn, clovers, cereal grains, and brassicas supply the wildlife on this farm with everything they could need from an attraction and nutritional standpoint. They also provide amazing ambush sites for deer and turkey hunting. There is another 5 acres of tillable bottom ground that has been in production in the past but was left fallow for the 2023 growing season. Access is exceptional to all parts of the farm through an extensive trail system by foot, ATV, and tractor.

There was a large timber stand improvement project implemented this past fall that will truly take the farm to next-level heights. Opening the timber canopy to create pockets of bedding cover will allow the farm to hold even more deer than it has in the past. This TSI work was also done to create new travel corridors to funnel deer movement past well-placed stand sites. You simply could not ask for a better shot opportunity regardless of wind direction. The deer sign on this farm is as good as I’ve seen anywhere. Impressive rubs, scrapes, and game trails litter the entire property. We saw well over 75 turkeys the day we photographed the farm! There are also five wildlife ponds on the farm, and most of them are surrounded by outstanding bedding cover. There are two Redneck hard shell blinds on 10’ towers, and one Redneck soft side Ghillie blind on a 5’ stand that will convey with the sale.

This farm also boasts of 5-star accommodations with a showpiece of a log cabin. Built on location in 2016, the hand-hewn, dovetailed logs used in construction harken back to a much earlier time. These logs have been repurposed from a cabin originally built in 1840 in Virginia. The components were disassembled, trucked to Missouri, and reassembled here on the farm. The resulting construction and modifications/additions are nothing short of breathtaking. This 1,017 sq. ft. structure with a wrap-around porch will provide all the creature comforts you could ask for, and do it in style with rustic elegance. The cabin has a master bedroom, one guest bedroom, and a bonus loft area for sleeping quarters. It has one large bathroom with modern amenities and a rustic flare. The attention to detail in the flooring, ceilings, walls, and trim will leave you and your guests in awe. There is central heat & air conditioning. The furnace runs efficiently from a 500-gallon leased propane tank. Electricity, rural water, and fiber internet are connected to the cabin. It should be noted that the cabin will be sold completely furnished, including the log framed beds and linens! To top this off is a 25’ x 25’ stick frame shed with steel roof/siding and concrete floor. It has been insulated, and wired with lights and electrical outlets.

This farm truly leaves you wanting for nothing. It represents the perfect retreat and recreational property. Please call David Brothers to schedule your private tour at (660) 240-3243.
