Diverse Grass & Timber Tract in Southwest Missouri

Property Description

This 34.8 acre surveyed tract east of Seneca, Missouri, has a lot of features wrapped up into one package. As you enter the property, you’re greeted by a 15 acre gently sloping hayfield. This land lies on the lower slopes of the property and consists of rich Class 2 soils deposited over centuries by the nearby Little Lost Creek. These soils are deep and loamy, offering good potential for a robust hay crop - currently in fescue, bluegrass, and orchardgrass - or they could be used to grow other forages, crops, or wildlife food plots, or even converted to native grasses and wildflowers for wildlife habitat. And if your interests include grazing animals, this would make some wonderful pasture.

Traveling north, at the base of a hill, you enter a stand of mixed hardwood timber. Commonly found trees in these woods include white oak, red oak, black oak, post oak, various hickories, walnut, elm, and hackberry. The forested portions of the property are of mixed age as well, with a diverse mix of tree sizes that offer great habitat for the many deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that thrive here. Several trails have been cut in, and they meander through the woods, offering great treestand locations, access to a beautiful ridge-top build site, and secluded food plot locations. A recently cleared section at the base of the ridge has yielded numerous Native American artifacts and promises even more with some light soil disturbance. Food plots on these sites could provide not only some fresh venison backstraps but quite possibly an arrowhead or two as well.

This property is easy to access from Old Highway 60 to the southwest, or Highway CC going east. It has numerous build sites for a weekend cabin or your forever home, whether you prefer a spot with expansive views or tucked up into the woods on a beautiful ridge. A large spring nearby suggests that groundwater is abundant in the area. And if you’re looking for a bit more room to roam, additional acreage is available nearby.
