When you started your search for recreational land, what features were at the top of your list? Do you want a small tract of land or large? The ability to hunt your own land? Would you like to have a secluded place to have a weekend getaway camp? Are you a trail rider? If any or all of these match your search wants, then you owe it to yourself to check out this Howard County Missouri property.
The owner recently went through and freshened up the existing trails and even made a few new ones, with the opportunity to expand more. The topography of this wooded 72 +/- acres set up well for the trail rider and their desire for exciting trails. It also serves well for the hunter, offering a few high-perch areas to overlook different areas of the creek bottom and the natural travel corridor that it provides. The deer tracks and sign say that this farm is well used, as there is an open grass field...
The owner recently went through and freshened up the existing trails and even made a few new ones, with the opportunity to expand more. The topography of this wooded 72 +/- acres set up well for the trail rider and their desire for exciting trails. It also serves well for the hunter, offering a few high-perch areas to overlook different areas of the creek bottom and the natural travel corridor that it provides. The deer tracks and sign say that this farm is well used, as there is an open grass field on the west side and north side of the back side of the farm that is completely secluded from any roads and traffic. I imagine the creek bottom in the springtime erupts with the thunder of turkey gobbling and the open fields are the ultimate strut areas for those longbeards to strut their stuff.
Historically, this farm was the home to a facility that would load coal onto a rail line, with the concrete footers of the load-out system being the only thing that remains. There is a pond on the property, providing another watering area for the wildlife in the area to use. The pond dam, with a little dirtwork, could hold several more feet of water and likely provide a fishing opportunity right there on your own land. When I say this land has a lot to offer, don't just take my word for it, come see for yourself.
