Description

This 107 acre southern Missouri tract features a nice balance of pasture and timber, well-planned and well-built livestock facilities, living quarters with plenty of storage and outbuildings, good highway access, and a private home setting, all within an easy drive of town. The centerpiece is the farmstead, situated 1/2 mile down a private lane. Here you'll find a 2,400 s.f. barndominium with half of the area devoted to living space and the remainder to shop space. The living space features an open living/dining/kitchen area. Two bedrooms and a roomy bathroom are located down a short hallway, with a laundry room between. Exterior doors open onto all three sides of the wrap-around porch. If the 1,200 s.f. of living space isn't quite enough to meet your needs, take comfort knowing that there's another 1,200 s.f. of loft space that could readily provide the additional room your family might require. This farm was designed and built to handle livestock efficiently. A 30'x40' hay barn w/ 18' lean-to offers plenty of space to store equipment and forage. Other outbuildings include a 20'x20' calf shed, 12'x12' well house w/ loft, 10'x14' greenhouse, and an 18'x30' enclosed carport. Livestock handling is made efficient through the use of welded pipe corrals, sorting pens, and cattle chute w/ newer headgate. Horsemen will appreciate the five horse paddocks, 50' diameter round pen with solid sides, and numerous gates operable from horseback. The farm is set up for self-sufficient living, ready for cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and hogs. A chicken coop is near the house, along with the greenhouse and multiple raised garden beds. Firewood and forest products are plentiful in the oak covered ridges and valleys located east of the homestead, and the owners have spent many hours engaged in timber stand improvement to foster a healthy forest. An old wagon trail meanders through the woods, passing near a permanent spring that produces an estimated 50 gallons/minute.58+/- acres are open, growing plenty of grass for horses, calves, and heifers. The sellers have kept the grass in good condition, managing and fertilizing as needed to assure plenty of forage. In addition to the pasture, the sellers have regularly put up about 30 big bales of grass hay each year and can regularly support 6-8 horses and 20-25 cattle. All of the pasture and hayground is situated on flat to gently rolling parts of the farm, making access or checking animals easy and convenient. Beyond the pastures, the land drops down into 49 +/- acres of timbered valleys and ridges, full of nice white, red, and post oaks. Several small openings have been cut in the timber to attract deer and turkeys, and the hunting on the property is quite good for both large and small game. Additional acreage is available just across the highway.
