Eastern Ozarks & St. Francois Mountains

The Land in Ripley County

Ripley County anchors the southern edge of the Missouri Ozarks along the Arkansas border, where forested hills give way toward flatter ground to the south. The Current River and the Little Black wind through the county, drawing floaters and anglers to their clear, gravel-bottomed runs. The land is a working blend of timber, cattle pasture, and hay ground, with hardwood ridges and bottom fields that hunt well for deer and turkey. Mark Twain National Forest ground lies within reach. It's affordable, productive country that suits a range of buyers, from a cattle operation to a river-access recreational place or a timbered hunting tract. For those wanting Ozark character with room to work and roam, Ripley County holds real appeal.
