Pulliam Family Farm

Property Description

Introducing the Pulliam Family Farm, a gorgeous and highly diverse 72 +/- acre farm nestled along the West Fork of the Crooked River in Ray County, Missouri! Owned by the Pulliam family since the 1960s, this farm has been well maintained and cherished for generations. With an exceptional balance of productive hay ground, mature timber, river frontage, and multiple improvements, including a 3 bedroom farm house, this property offers a new owner a ton of features that would be ideal for a future homestead, recreation, hunting, livestock, and farming. From the moment you enter the property, it’s easy to appreciate the versatility, improvements, seclusion, and all the key features this farm has to offer.

The farm is fully fenced and consists of approximately 28.2 acres of tillable ground currently utilized for hay production, with an overall NCCPI rating of 64.5 and fertile bottom fields reaching into the 80s. These productive bottom fields lie level alongside the river and provide for excellent crop or hay ground, while two additional large hidden fields east of the creek are completely surrounded by timber, offering seclusion, wildlife habitat, and additional opportunities for food plots or farming. The balance of the farm consists of nearly 40 acres of dense mature timber, with access trails throughout, fun for recreational use and creating ample habitat for whitetail deer and turkey. The West Fork of the Crooked River winds through the farm, with a large rock-bottom crossing accessing the east side. The year-round flowing river provides a great place to explore and wade in the water looking for creatures and arrowheads, and it provides a year-round water source for wildlife and considerable value for livestock or farm use.

A two-story farmhouse, 50'x60' pole barn, detached garage, and additional metal storage sheds with utilities are located on the southwest corner of the property. The farmhouse does need some renovations for a permanent home or hunting cabin, but some cosmetic upgrades would go a long ways and make for a comfortable home. The farmhouse consists of three bedrooms, an enclosed front porch, covered back deck, cinder-block basement under the porch, vinyl siding, metal roofing, central air conditioning, and outdoor security lighting. A detached two-car garage offers concrete flooring, workbenches, and shelving for storage or workshop use. Just beside the house is a metal shed with electricity that has been utilized as a deer and game processing shop, making it an ideal man cave or hunting headquarters. Additional improvements include a white utility/lawn storage shed, a spring-fed well in the front yard, and an enclosed metal hog shed positioned along the creek with both electricity and public water.

For equipment and livestock, the 50'x60' pole barn provides excellent functionality with two oversized double-door entrances, electricity, water, and an interior farm hydrant. Inside the barn is a dedicated tool room complete with workbenches, which could easily be converted into an equestrian tack room. A 60'x10' lean-to runs the full west side of the barn, offering additional covered storage for equipment, hay, or trailers. Location is ideal with approximately 1,700 feet of Norris Road frontage and is situated just 1.5 miles north of Highway 10 and Highway N at the Elkhorn intersection, offering convenient access while maintaining privacy and seclusion. The Pulliam Family Farm is a special offering: whether you’re looking for a hunting retreat, expansion of a livestock operation, equestrian property, or country home, this farm checks all the boxes.
