Description
Top-Tier Recreational Farm with Multiple Revenue Streams & Extensive Improvements
The "WOW" factor is a consistent theme across this meticulously managed farm. Pride of ownership and expert land stewardship are evident on every acre.
Exceptional Hunting & Fishing:
Let's start with the recreation. This property offers nearly everything the area is known for—and then some. The whitetail hunting is outstanding, with multiple mature, trophy-class bucks living here year after year. Trail camera and harvest photos speak for themselves. Game bird populations are equally impressive. Thriving numbers of turkeys, quail, pheasants, and doves call this farm home. While bird numbers have struggled across Missouri in recent years, this property stands apart—a testament to the quality of its habitat and management practices. Fishing opportunities are abundant, with more than 10 ponds scattered across the farm. The largest is approximately two acres, and stocked species around the farm include largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, channel catfish, and panfish. For even more fishing opportunities, there's potential for a large lake that could be up to 10 acres or more. Simply put, there's hunting or fishing to enjoy here nearly every day of the year.
Strong Current & Future Income:
Beyond recreation, this farm delivers diversified income streams, including row crops, CRP, hay production, a rental home, and a 500± tree chestnut orchard. 86± acres of row crop are operated under a 50/50 crop share agreement. In 2025, soybeans averaged 50± bushels per acre, generating a net return of $11,300 to the seller. The farmer indicated interest in renting the row-crop acres for $165 per acre, or $14,190 annually. 232.22± acres enrolled in CRP currently generate $38,834 annually, with contracts in place through 2031 and 2032. The CRP fields are in excellent condition, featuring beautiful stands of native grasses. Total 2026 revenue for CRP + Cash Rent could be $53,024, representing a 1.51% ROI at list price.
Additional income potential is significant: A charming farmhouse, believed to have been built around 1900, appears structurally sound and full of character. With some TLC, it could reasonably rent for $600 or more per month ($7,200 annually). Approximately 4± acres of productive hay ground generated numerous round bales in 2025. The 500± tree chestnut orchard—now in its 7th growing season—is already producing. Meticulously laid out with drip-line irrigation supplied by nearby ponds and carefully managed soil fertility, the orchard presents substantial upside. Based on projected yields and current wholesale prices, annual income potential could reach well into five figures.
Development Potential & Improvements:
Future upside also lies in the property's development potential. With nearly two miles of blacktop frontage, approximately three-quarters of a mile of gravel frontage, and two rural water meters already in place (one near the farmhouse and one near the southeast portion of the farm), opportunities abound. Build your dream home, construct a hunting lodge, or consider subdivision into multiple parcels. One of several prime build sites is located in the southeast corner, offering excellent views and several improvements already in place. A well-built driveway leads to a 50'x120' shed—ideal for equipment storage, with tall eaves and scissor-truss construction that make it a strong candidate for conversion into a barndominium-style residence. Additional improvements include a windmill, crossings, hunting blinds, and two older barns.
If you're tired of the average farms on the market, you'll truly appreciate the quality, versatility, and long-term upside this property offers. This is a rare opportunity to own a farm where recreation, income, and pride of ownership come together seamlessly. Call Land Specialist Jason Patterson for your private tour.
