It would be hard to find another property this size that hunts larger than this. With gated access by permit through the national forest, this farm borders federal land for ¾ of a mile. With thousands of acres of national forest at its border, more bucks die of old age here than to hunting pressure. The property itself is broken up by the open ground and a creek in the bottom, with timber on both ends of the fields. The main creek is stunning and there is also a smaller creek that feeds into it. The live water is a magnet for wild game and runs the entire width of the parcel along the bottom ground. The timber sections range from incredibly thick bedding cover to closed canopy mature and marketable timber. There is also a storage shed on the property to store tools and hunting equipment.

If you’re up for more adventure, you can hike from this property to Crane Lake without ever leaving the national forest. In fact, the Marble Creek section of the Ozark Trail gets as close as .2 of a mile from the access road to this farm. This section of the Ozark Trail traverses from the Marble Creek Campground to Crane Lake and is open to hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Crane Lake is approximately 50 acres with its own 5-mile hiking trail that treks its border. With other nearby attractions such as Tom Sauk Mountain State Park, Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park, Elephant Rocks State Park, St. Francois River, and the Black River, there is no shortage of recreational activities to keep you occupied.
