Central Missouri & Missouri River Valley

The Land in Benton County

Benton County is lake-and-timber country on the northern edge of the Ozarks, where wooded hills and rolling pasture run down to the Lake of the Ozarks and Truman Lake. The mix of hardwood ridges, brushy draws, and open grass makes versatile ground for the buyer who wants to hunt, graze, and enjoy the water from a single tract. Deer and turkey work the timber and edges, while the two lakes offer some of Missouri's best boating and fishing close at hand. Uplands carry cattle and hay, and wooded acres provide cover and privacy. Benton suits recreational buyers and small-farm owners drawn to hill-country timber with genuine lake access.
