But the real star of the show on this property are the views. This estate is nestled on Highway H just east of Eolia, MO along one of the most scenic drives and sought out locations in this part of Pike County. The seller spared no effort to create a naturalists paradise. Over 25 species of wildflowers and 4 species of native grasses are intermingled with wooded draws and ridge tops. Large timbered ridges of mature oaks and hickory are supplemented by groves of persimmon, wild cherry, wild plum, and numerous other native food sources. A shale bottomed creek and 2 ponds provide year-round water. It is no accident that wildlife abounds and is readily viewable from every room in the house: Deer and turkey feed nightly in the fields below the house, eagles and other raptors soar in the currents, while ducks and geese circle over the lake.

For the outdoorsman, this is THE PREMIERE Hunting and Fishing property in Pike County. Located in a powerhouse neighborhood of like-minded landowners who manage for Big Bucks, this place is proven to have a dense deer population, several flocks of wild turkey, a resurgent quail population, a 5-acre stocked lake with largemouth and a 1.5-acre pond stocked with smallmouth will provide plenty of year-round action! Check out the trail photos. Existing food-plots in place along with approximate 30 acres in crop production and 68 acres enrolled in CRP. See attached document for CRP info.

Plenty of entertaining for the non-hunters as well, from swimming and fossil hunting in the clear water creek to picking Morel mushrooms and wild blackberries, to hiking on the cut trails and pathways or gardening in the raised vegetable and flower beds that surround the house. This property provides an experience of complete tranquility, while being highly accessible and secure. Paved highway from St. Louis to entrance of property and a gated concrete bridge provides security and year-round access. Gobblers Roost is one of the Best Pike County Estates to ever be offered on the public market.
