Historically, Vernon County, Missouri was known as an area where the timbered oak hills of the Ozarks met the flatter prairies of the Great Plains. Today that same area is beloved by many for its aesthetic beauty and ability to nurture healthy game populations. Within this interface between prairie and woods, whitetail bucks can achieve impressive proportions, and flocks of wild turkeys still roam the woods and fields. Situated approximately halfway between Springfield and Kansas City, this farm delivers a lot of value to the buyer looking for a solid recreational oasis that's easy to access and won't break the bank.

Clear Creek flows along and through the property, with >3,200' of frontage delivering both peaceful scenery and life-sustaining water on its way to the Osage River. This watercourse is the focal point of the farm, funneling both terrain features and animal movement to its banks. The timber is a diverse mix of hardwoods, including post oak, red oak, white oak, blackjack oak, sycamore, hackberry, elm, silver maple, and walnut. Openings in the timber, as well as the hayfields on the west and north parts of the farm still grow many of the same prairie grasses and wildflowers that existed here centuries ago, providing forage that's good for both cows and wildlife. The rich creek bottom soils in the flats along the stream would be perfect for growing food plots to improve the land's ability to support healthy game populations, and there are all kinds of options for stands and blinds.
Another great aspect of the farm is the numerous great build sites that offer a lot of different options to the new owner. With utilities at the county road, access to power and rural water is easy. Further, towards the middle of the farm, you'll find a 2,400 square foot hay barn that could be readily enclosed to make a rustic cabin or used as-is for out-of-the-weather storage of hay, tractors, implements, and hunting gear. If you'd like to know more about this amazing property, or if you'd like to schedule an appointment to see it, call Land Agent Scott Sudkamp at (417) 321-5427 today.
