A truly rare offering, this 1,377+/-acre legacy property in the heart of Maries County represents the finest qualities of the Missouri Ozarks—unspoiled beauty, abundant water, productive land, and exceptional sporting opportunities. Held together as a remarkable contiguous tract, this estate offers a combination of scale, natural resources, and character that is increasingly difficult to find.
The historic farmstead serves as the centerpiece of the property, featuring a farmhouse currently utilized as a hunting lodge, several picturesque vintage barns rich with Ozark heritage, and a substantial 40' x 60' shop with concrete floors and electric service. Just behind the home, a beautiful 1.5-acre lake provides both scenic appeal and additional recreational opportunities, creating an inviting setting for family and guests alike.
More than 200 acres of open ground are strategically scattered throughout the farm, including approximately 130 acres of fertile creek-bottom fields. These highly productive soils present an outstanding opportunity for agricultural production, wildlife food plots, or a carefully balanced land management program designed to maximize both income and habitat value.
Water is one of the property's defining assets. A large natural spring feeds a crystal-clear spring-fed pond before joining Long Creek, which courses through the ranch for more than two miles. In addition to the lake and spring-fed pond, several smaller watering holes are distributed throughout the property, ensuring dependable water sources for wildlife and livestock while enhancing the overall diversity of the landscape.
Rolling ridges, secluded hollows, towering timber, and panoramic views define the terrain. A magnificent grove of mature whistling pines overlooks two hidden hollow fields to the North, creating one of the most scenic settings on the farm and a natural gathering place to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Ozarks.
Renowned for its outstanding deer and turkey hunting, the property offers a rare blend of habitat, water, and food sources that support thriving wildlife populations. Whether envisioned as a private sporting retreat, working ranch, recreational getaway, or multi-generational family legacy, this exceptional holding presents an opportunity seldom found in today's market.
With its combination of live water, productive bottomland, historic improvements, and remarkable natural beauty, this is far more than a farm—it is one of the premier large-acreage estates available in Maries County and a property destined to be treasured for generations to come.
