Great Home on Versatile Acres in Ray County, Missouri

Property Description

If you have been looking for the opportunity to start or expand your cattle operation in Ray County, Missouri, this would be a great property to consider. Every aspect of this farm sets up well and has been utilized for a sustainable cattle operation for years.

The home on the farm was built in 1996 and contains 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It is a 2-story home with a nice, full-length, west-facing front porch. The large living room allows for many to gather and enjoy each other's company, along with western exposure to allow sunset viewing from the comfort of your own couch. The kitchen, just off the living room and bonus room, gives an almost open-concept feel with the large entry from the living room. A full unfinished basement provides ample storage and utility area. An attached 2-car garage is connected to the home via an entryway off the kitchen. The large front and back yards are just what you expect to have when you think of country living.

The 156.8 +/- acres consist of mostly grass pasture land, but also include the large yard and residential setting, roughly 30 acres of beans and a few timbered draws. The south portion of the farm has a small creek running through it east and west, providing a flowing fresh water option and also a travel corridor for any wildlife passing through the farm. The majority of the tilled acres on the farm are along the creek in the flat “creek bottom land”.

The grass acres are what the farm is centered around though, and with a couple of 40'x64' sheds, the ability to sustain the grass and herd is much easier. Providing plenty of storage for tractors and implements, fence building and maintenance equipment, and feed storage is all easily done with those sheds. The pasture land has a few cross fences, allowing for the rotation and sustainability to last longer on the acreage. A pond located on the north side of the farm allows a great place to cool the herd in the heat of the summer.

The location of the farm sets up well for accessibility, with County Road W blacktop running along the entire north end of the farm. Cowsert Drive gravel road runs along the west side of the farm, so two sides of the farm have access, providing many entry points to expand the farm possibilities.
