Eastern Ozarks & St. Francois Mountains

The Land in St. Francois County

St. Francois County sits where the Ozark hills meet gentler, more open country, long the heart of Missouri's old lead belt. The terrain rolls from timbered ridges into pasture, hay ground, and small working farms, making it some of the more accessible and productive land in the region. Reclaimed mining ground and state park land offer wide-open recreation, while the surrounding hills still hunt well for deer and turkey. Streams and farm ponds water the cattle country, and the St. Francis River gathers nearby. Closer to St. Louis than the deep Ozarks, it appeals to buyers wanting a manageable farm, a rural homestead, or a recreational place without giving up convenience. Solid, workable ground with room to grow.
