About This Property

The Powers Creek Tract: 33 +/- Acres on the Black River Offered for the first time in over a century, this 33 +/- acre m/l parcel in Butler County represents an opportunity to own a piece of Ozark history. Held by the same family since the turn of the 20th century, the property boasts a premier location with direct Black River frontage and the beautiful Powers Creek meandering through the bottomlands before joining the river at the point of access. While the southern portion of the tract offers fertile bottoms and wildlife habitat, the north end features significant high ground, providing an ideal, flood-safe building site with commanding views of the surrounding landscape. This is a slice of quiet rural living that refuses to sacrifice convenience. Situated on a paved highway with excellent access, the property offers two distinct, quick routes directly into the north end of Poplar Bluff. Though it carries a Williamsville mailing address, the land is located within the Butler County R-I (Poplar Bluff) School District, offering a unique advantage for families. From the historical elements scattered across the grounds to the pristine flow of the creek, every acre tells a story of Southeast Missouri’s rugged beauty. Priced at a recent appraised value, this is a transparent and rare chance to secure a versatile, water-rich legacy property that has been held close for over 125 years.

Where the delta lifts into the Ozark foothills — farm ground and timber together.

Butler County anchors the western edge of the Bootheel, where the flat delta gives way to the first rise of the Ozark foothills. The result is a working blend of terrain: fertile row-crop bottoms along the Black River paired with rolling timbered ground to the west and north. That mix makes Butler appealing to buyers who want productive farmland and hunting cover on the same tract. The bottoms grow soybeans, corn, rice, and cotton, while the wooded uplands and river corridors hold whitetail and turkey. Waterfowl work the flooded fields and sloughs in season. For a buyer chasing both income and recreation, Butler offers a foot in each world without leaving southeast Missouri.
