Northeast Ridgeway Drive , Hamilton, MO 64644(Caldwell County)

If you've been waiting for something special to come-along, this 64+/- acre dream property is adjacent to the Little Otter Creek Reservoir Project that is currently under construction near Hamilton, MO. When completed, the project will offer a 344-acre reservoir, plus 700 acres of conservation land with abundant outdoor recreational activities. Here's a dream homebuilding site or development location with a lake view, only an hour from Kansas City. Let your imagination guide you. These 64+/- acres literally sit right on the projects boarder. The reservoir construction is well underway with completion of the 84-foot dam forecasted for May of 2025. The farm also offers a couple nice ponds and is currently used for agricultural production. Of the total acres, 55.45 are mostly terraced and tiled and are considered FSA tillable acres. Farming rights can be open for the 2025 farms season. The area has abundant wildlife and great hunting. I kicked up several deer while taking pictures.

Little BIG Otter Creek:

By Lark Gilmer - Communications Specialist

Natural Resources Conservation Service

Excerpt - "Little Otter Creek, located in Caldwell County, Missouri, is a testament to what a community can do when faced with a natural resource conundrum where water is scarce and predicted to be insufficient to meet local needs. This prompted the county commission to host several public sessions to discuss possible solutions, and a winning conservation plan emerged from the effort. And it was one, that would provide a source of water, a recreation destination and wildlife habitat."

Excerpt - "Little Otter Creek reservoir will:

Reliably provide 1.24 million gallons of raw drinking water per day to Caldwell County, whose 8,969 residents will have more reliable access to drinking water during droughts.

Provide annual benefits of over $800,000 while average costs are less than $600,000.

Provide flood prevention to 312-acres along Little Otter Creek where annual flooding damages are estimated at $107,000 to crop fields, pastures, fences, roads, and bridges.

Provide water-based recreational opportunities for an estimated 60,000 visitors each year including leisure activities, sports fishing and waterfowl hunting, which will also provide an unrealized revenue stream for the local economy."
