When you combine productive soils for nutrition, good genetics, and the seclusion necessary for bucks to reach maturity, the result can be some really impressive whitetails and very enjoyable days spent in the woods. The Drywood Creek bottoms in southwest Vernon County are a storied location when it comes to bruiser bucks, and this 86 +/- acre farm is situated right in the heart of some of the best whitetail country west central Missouri has to offer. Not only does this farm offer the trifecta of nutrition, age, and genetics, but perhaps most importantly, it’s very huntable, with timbered sloughs and brushy fingers that offer multiple pinch points, and funnels that promise plenty of encounters with cruising fall bucks. But it’s not just a single season farm, as local turkey populations are robust as well, and you can also enjoy opportunistic wingshooting for ducks in the numerous shallow timber sloughs, as well as fishing for summer flatheads lurking in holes along the more than 3600’ of Little Drywood Creek frontage.

On a hillside rising above the creek bottoms is a 750 s.f., 2 bedroom off-grid hunting cabin. This cabin features additional sleeping quarters in the loft, an open kitchen/living area, bathroom, and a 180 s.f. covered & screened porch overlooking the property. The cabin is fully wired to run off a diesel generator, with propane and wood heat, and is also plumbed. Tucked into the woods at the end of a ½ mile private lane, this cabin will be a welcome sight at the end of a long busy week - a place you can come to relax and unplug and enjoy many peaceful weekends with your buddies or family. Outside you’ll find two lean-to sheds, perfect for hanging a deer or keeping your equipment out of the weather, as well as an old grain bin for additional weather-tight storage. A couple of elevated blinds stay with the property, including one that’s completely enclosed, with vinyl windows and carpet, perfect for staying warm during long sits on bitter cold days. Timber on the property is mixed age and species, with plenty of oak and hickory in the uplands on the east end, transitioning to pin oak, silver maple, green ash, river birch and elm in the wetter bottoms.This farm has much to offer, and it’s ready for a new owner. If you’re ready to make some memories on a farm of your own, you’ll want to give this property a close look. Call me today at 417-321-5427 to schedule a private showing!
