Description

Fellow hunters and land lovers, if you're searching for that perfect, large-scale piece of contiguous Ozark dirt that truly checks every box for serious whitetail hunting, turkey action, and long-term investment potential, look no further than this impressive 787 +/- acre tract sitting on the Missouri-Arkansas line in Howell County, Missouri. Tucked into the rolling Ozark hills just outside the communities of West Plains MO in the quiet Lebo area of Howell County, this unrestricted property delivers easy access off a solid gravel county road and approximately 0.17 miles of frontage along State Highway JJ. The terrain is beautifully rolling with hardwood ridges, soft draws, and strategic pinch points, giving you nearly unlimited options for building dream homesites perched on ridges, food plots tucked into natural pockets, or even clearing sections for pasture and livestock if you want to run some cattle alongside your hunting operation. No covenants. No HOA. Just pure freedom to shape this land your way and build your outdoor legacy without a bunch of rules holding you back. A recent select timber cut has worked wonders here, opening up the understory and kick-starting thick, young regeneration that's already providing outstanding cover for the resident deer herd and strong flocks of eastern wild turkeys. The dominant timber consists of younger hardwood stands loaded with red oak acorn factories mixed with post oak and other mast-producing hardwoods that keep the wildlife coming back year after year. You'll also find areas of old field succession with brushy thickets, native grasses, and open grassy pockets, perfect transition ground for food plots, bedding areas, or future pasture and homestead setups. Scattered interior woods roads and trails branch off the main access, meandering through the property for miles from the southeast, clear toward the northwest. This layout lets you access a majority of the acreage without beating up your truck or boots, making it easy to run trail cams, hang stands, or scout prime setups for bow, muzzleloader, or rifle seasons. Hunting potential? Absolutely loaded. Deer sign is everywhere, rubs, scrapes, and well-used trails cutting through small pinch points and along ridges that scream "setup spot." Turkey numbers are strong too, with the mix of open edges, thick cover, and hardwoods creating classic Ozark gobbling action come spring. This is the type of large, contiguous property that gets serious outdoorsmen and savvy land investors excited: solid hunting right now with habitat that's only improving, multiple build sites with varied topography, reliable water on the land, a strong timber component, and no restrictions to cramp your style. Whether you're chasing trophy bucks, filling the freezer with venison and turkey, running a serious wildlife management program, building a private family compound, or simply looking for a substantial Ozark land holding with long-term appreciation potential, this tract delivers. Convenient to West Plains, Missouri, for supplies and amenities, yet tucked away in peaceful rural country surrounded by larger landowners, this 787-acre gem offers the rare combination of privacy, accessibility, and versatility. Don't let a property of this scale and quality slip by. Give us a call today, and let's set up a private tour so you can walk the ridges, check the sign, and see for yourself why this Howell County tract is the next chapter in your outdoor legacy and land investment portfolio. This is serious Ozark dirt. Let's make it yours.
