Mercer County
Premier Managed Hunting Farm with CRP Income & New Home
16347 Highway U Princeton, MO 64673
Description
Located in highly sought-after Mercer County, Missouri, just southwest of Princeton off Hwy U, this 222+/- acre highly managed hunting and recreation farm is the type of property that rarely comes available to the open market. Managed for over 25 years with a strong focus on growing and harvesting mature 5.5+ year old whitetails, this farm has been very lightly hunted. It offers exceptional deer and turkey hunting opportunities in an area well known for quality genetics and strong wildlife management practices. Surrounded by like-minded neighbors who practice QDM, the property has all the ingredients necessary to continue producing mature whitetails for years to come.
The farm features scenic rolling terrain with an excellent mix of bedding cover, open pockets for secluded food plots, and multiple locations for destination winter food sources. North and south facing slopes provide ideal thermal bedding habitat throughout the property, while multiple ponds and a live creek running north and south along the east side create excellent year-round fresh water sources for wildlife. Numerous tree stands are already in place, and the farm offers great access from both the west and south sides for hunting various wind directions. Partial fencing surrounds the property, and there is also some marketable timber offering potential additional income if desired by the new owner.
Adding to the value is 96 acres enrolled in CRP paying $9,780 annually through 2032, providing a strong income stream while also enhancing wildlife habitat. An old homesite and equipment barn are tucked away along a dead-end gravel road on the south end of the property, offering additional utility and storage.
The newly constructed 2,700 sq ft home, built in 2025, provides an outstanding opportunity for the next owner to finish the interior exactly to their preference. The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full walkout basement, attached 2-car garage, and a covered composite deck overlooking the farm to the east with truly postcard-worthy views. The interior is currently framed up, allowing the new owners to put their personal touch on the final design and finishes. A prepared building pad north of the home is already in place for a future detached garage or equipment storage building. Power is already located on the property, with rural water and high-speed fiber optic internet available along Hwy U for quick, easy access.
Any serious whitetail deer or turkey hunter would be proud to own this diverse and highly managed property. Farms of this caliber, offering proven hunting history (check out the trail camera photos), annual income, excellent habitat, and a beautiful new home opportunity, are extremely hard to find in North Missouri. So don't wait and call your trusted Whitetail Properties Land Specialists, Jeff Propst and Stephen Stockman, today for more details or to schedule your private showing. You won't be disappointed.
