Eastern Ozarks & St. Francois Mountains

The Land in Madison County

Madison County lies in the rugged St. Francois Mountains, where ancient igneous knobs rise from heavy hardwood timber and the St. Francis River carves rocky shut-ins through the granite. It's scenic, broken country with a long mining history, well suited to buyers after seclusion and character. The land favors timber, cattle, and recreation, with steep wooded ridges and glades that hunt well for deer and turkey, and pasture and hay ground in the valleys. Clear creeks and the river offer fishing and paddling, and conservation and forest land add public access nearby. For a hunting camp, a cattle farm tucked in the hills, or a rugged recreational tract, Madison County blends Ozark scenery with working ground.
