Saint James, MO 65559(Phelps County)

Here is your opportunity to own one of the nicest farms and hunting properties I have ever listed. Bar none, this farm has it all. It is a hunters dream. First time visiting the farm we counted upwards of twenty deer and fifty to sixty turkey in two different flocks. You will not have to travel to Northern Missouri to harvest a 160+ inch Whitetail Buck. The owner harvested a 160+ inch buck while in the shooting blind that is just outside the yard last November!! Bobwhite quail call the farm home and if you like to varmint hunt there are some coyotes occasionally passing through. You will have three quarters of a mile of the gravel bottom Bourbeuse River to yourself, family, and friends. Swim, fish for smallmouth bass, panfish, and catfish. Hunt morel, chantarelle, button mushrooms through the spring, summer, and fall. The majority of the farm cannot be seen from County Road 1400. This farm would be a showpiece for Quality Deer Management and the wild turkey habitat is second to none. Wild turkey like to roost above moving water, for reasons only know to wild turkeys. I believe the Bourbeuse River and huge sycamores in the bottom ground provide the perfect roost for the turkey flocks.

The farm has approximately one hundred fifty acres of open ground, approximately ninety acres in pasture. There is one large pond and a year round creek for watering the cattle. There is a 66 x 76 barn with hay loft and metal corral for working cattle. Machine shed and workshop. Owner will offer the farm machinery to a buyer under contract if the machinery is still available.

There is a live spring that pours out of a concrete basin which provided water for a sawmill and tannery that was located on the farm.

The 2300 square foot farmhouse was built in 1940 and in 1998 an addition and complete remodel was performed. It is well kept, warm and cozy with a country kitchen, screened back porch/sunroom, two bedrooms on the main floor and the master bedroom with jacuzzi and large walk in closet on the upper floor. Coming down the hardwood stairway, a large arched window provides a view of the Bourbeuse River bottom. From that vantage point I spotted eleven deer on my first visit to the farm. A basement provides much room for storage and a newer propane furnace warms the home. A wood furnace provides extra warmth on those cold winter days and nights and a wrap around porch provides a peaceful and quiet place to spend Missouri evenings. One car attached garage.

Bordering row crop Bourbeuse River bottom farms provide the soy beans and corn for the Deer and Turkey.

Farms like this do not come along very often, once in a lifetime for many farms like this. Shown by appointment only, call Danny L. Miller at 573-528-1489
