Little Black River & Mudpuppy Wilderness Retreat - Raw Ozark Hunting & Timber

Property Description

Discover a hunter's paradise in Ripley County, Missouri. Located in the Fairdealing area, this premier 75 +/- acre recreational tract offers maturing Ozark timber, strategic water sources, and exceptional privacy right next door to world-class public land. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound in the area, making this an exceptional year-round destination for outdoor sports enthusiasts. This premium Ripley County acreage delivers an excellent blend of dense holding cover and turn-key hunting features. Accessing the property is easy, located just north of Highway 160 in Fairdealing. Follow Highway BB until the blacktop transitions into a maintained gravel road for approximately 3 miles, leading you directly to your private retreat. With over 1,600 feet of county road frontage, the property offers fantastic accessibility and multiple potential entry points. Electric power can be accessible at the road, making this a prime candidate for a future cabin, hunting camp, or camper hookup.

Navigating the rolling Ozark terrain is seamless via the clean interior trail system, allowing you to quietly slip into stands, ride ATVs, or hike the property. The land is highly dynamic, featuring several seasonal creeks and wet-weather runoffs that act as vital water sources and natural travel funnels for local wildlife.

Food plot management is already simplified with two large, pre-cleared locations positioned strategically to capitalize on natural deer and wildlife movement. Because this property sits right in the path of the expansive, 1,404 acre Mudpuppy Conservation Area - which terminates at the end of Highway BB - your acreage benefits from a massive, protected wildlife buffer. Outdoor recreation options expand significantly with the Little Black River flowing nearby. This designated outstanding state water resource provides an incredible aquatic buffer, excellent local fishing, floating and kayaking opportunities. It creates a continuous sanctuary packed with heavy deer sign, active scrapes, and roosting turkeys, offering private-land exclusivity with endless room to roam just up the road.
