686 Acres in Cole Camp, MO - $2,366,700

As hunters we dream of owning our own piece of dirt, a place that we can call our own and share it with the ones we love. We dream of those November all-day sits as the whitetail woods seem to move all around us and those cool spring mornings as the echo of gobbling toms fill the ridge tops and hollers below. Rarely does a property come available that checks so many boxes for the outdoor enthusiasts. We understand the qualities that a great hunting property should have and the work it takes to truly make a property great. Food, cover and water is where most would stop when evaluating a property's hunting potential, but there are more qualities a property should possess. Qualities such as road/trail systems, stand sites for multiple wind directions, undetectable access to stand sites, quality bedding and nesting cover, year-round food, and potential revenue are just a few. The amount of time and sweat that went into making this property stand out is plain to see just from entering the front gate. With a 10+ mile meticulously maintained road/trail system throughout the property, you will have no issues getting from the lodge to your stand site. Many trails have been strategically placed to enhance hunting access and reduce detectability. When we say time and sweat, we mean it! There are +/- 55 acres of open ground throughout the property, with a fair amount of this acreage in food plots and the remainder in year-round cover. The established food plots have been placed in strategic areas to enhance whitetail and turkey usage and huntability. The balance of the acreage consists of mature hardwood timber. The Ozark Highlands of Missouri is an oak and hickory-dominated ecoregion. The acorns produced from the various oak species are like candy to wildlife throughout early fall and winter, and there is no shortage here. White oak and red oak acorns can be a hunter's best friend during the hunting season. Understanding how and when to hunt over a good crop tree can yield great results and help you bag that trophy buck you have been eyeing all summer. Not only do these trees provide seasonal food for wildlife on the property, but they allow a revenue stream from the property that many can’t. Due to the majority of the acreage consisting of large merchantable timber, with a quality timber and habitat plan, this property can provide a good revenue stream for years. Now, let’s not forget about the wildlife already calling this property home. One quality that a great hunting property should possess is the ability to hold and attract whitetails. Being in the right neighborhood is great but when you have a property of this size you are already able to do more than most. The size of the property and the substantial work that has already been completed are proving to be very effective in holding and growing mature bucks. The current owners have had tremendous deer and turkey hunting success on the property. This is no shock considering the vast amount of sign and trails that are visible when driving across this farm. It would be easy to see that this farm boasts a dense whitetail population just from the sign, but thankfully the current owners have provided multiple trail camera pictures that show the quality of bucks that this farm can offer. The farm has quality genetics and is home to Boone and Crockett caliber bucks year after year! This farm is set up great for a large group of hunters. Whether they are family members, good friends, or if several hunters go in together to purchase this farm; this farm will accommodate them all. It is nice to hunt all day and rarely hear neighbors, cars, or farm equipment. This farm is quite private. If you didn’t know this farm was here, you would never suspect this hunting oasis exists. Currently, maintenance of the property including the seasonal planting of food plots, grooming, fertilizing etc. as well as general overseeing is done by two local individuals. These are invaluable assets that can extend to the new owner if desired. Blinds and stands can be included at an additional purchasing cost to property, including 8 - Redneck tower blinds, 2 - 360 Hunting Blinds, and numerous other ladders and lock-ons. Please be sure to go to the Game Cam and Drone Pic tabs for additional images. Lodging and storage is excellent if you want to spend a day or weeks hunting. The mobile home boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an open living and kitchen area as well as utility and storage areas. It is fully electric and water sourced by a well. The 30 X 60 3-bay shop/garage has a large cedar-lined room perfect for hunting clothes, an added storage area above, and a full bathroom. You will find the perfect place to spend brisk fall bonfire evenings next to the 26 x 30 open lighted pavilion overlooking the property. You also have the added bonus of fantastic recreational opportunities at and around Truman Lake and Lake of the Ozarks, including fishing, boating, kayaking, and much more. A financial pre-qualification letter is required prior to viewing the property. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Please keep in mind that this is a uniquely outstanding opportunity. Some of our greatest inheritances as Americans are represented by this slice of earth, owning land, hunting big bucks, and enjoying the gift of spending time in this remarkable creation we call home.
