About This Property

Absolutely an incredible opportunity to own a piece of property that has been owned by one family for decades. This ranch is absolutely beautiful and has so many interesting features and history. There are two springs on the farm. Long Spring is the bigger of the two and is located on the famous Trail of Tears this farm with the large flowing spring was instrumental in the history of the trail. There is approximately 90+/- acres of lush well taken care of pasture with the balance being mature woods. With all of these incredible qualities in a farm you can just imagine the abundance of wildlife. There are caves and bluffs and ponds. There are two houses one that could easily be used as a home or cabin while you build your own cabin or house with the many building sites and the other one you could easily renovate. Long Spring or Uncle Rays farm is a property that deserves the respect of a landmark that there are just not many farms of this size with this kind of water that has been this well taken care of anymore. Located just outside of Steelville which is considered the floating capital of the midwest and all of the recreational activities in the area and about an hour and half SW of St. Louis.

Meramec float country of clear water, gravel bars, and timber

Crawford County is prime Ozark float country, drained by the Meramec River and its clear tributaries the Courtois and Huzzah. The landscape runs to timbered hills, pine and hardwood ridges, and gravel-bottom valleys, with much of the county bordering Mark Twain National Forest. Recreational buyers prize the cold, spring-fed streams for canoeing and smallmouth fishing, while the heavy hardwood cover holds strong whitetail and turkey. Thin, rocky uplands keep the working ground in pasture, hay, and cattle rather than crops. With Steelville and Cuba as regional hubs and easy interstate access, tracts here suit a river retreat, a hunting camp against public land, or a cattle place with recreation built in.
