Wooded Getaway with Cabin and Corps Frontage at the Osage River

Property Description

Located near the confluence of Salt Creek and the Osage River, west of Osceola in central Saint Clair County, is this 157-acre wooded retreat. Offering peaceful seclusion, the land is the last property, laying on both sides of a dead-end road, and adjoins Corps of Engineers land on two sides. Constructed in the last four years, improvements include a 900 square foot cabin and 800 square foot shop. Both buildings have metal exteriors and spray foam insulation. The cabin has two covered patios, a ducted mini-split HVAC system, a wood stove, and water filter, a softener, and a sulfur mitigation system. Fiber internet is also available. Offering secure boat and/or equipment storage, the shop has a concrete floor and power, as well as a full-length covered patio with a fish cleaning station. Two 20’ shipping containers will also convey with the sale. Primarily hardwood timber, the property is loaded with whitetails and other wildlife. With over 170’ in total elevation change, the terrain includes a centralized ridge surrounded by valleys falling toward the river, and a couple of ravines with wet-weather creeks, as well as springs. A well-groomed, extensive trail system provides excellent access throughout. In addition to the incredible natural habitat, a large destination foodplot and a smaller secondary plot, both with elevated blinds, present ideal hunting locations. This unique location on the dead-end, with Corps ground frontage at Salt Creek and the Osage backwaters, also offers access to incredible waterfowl hunting opportunities. The property is just five miles from Crowe’s Crossing boat ramp on Truman Reservoir, and is near the Lichen Glade Conservation Area.
