About This Property

This 188.7-acre property in Franklin County, Missouri presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly visible and accessible tract positioned for both immediate recreational use and long-term development potential. Located between Stanton and Sullivan along the North Service Road, this property features approximately 0.8 miles of road frontage and outstanding visibility from both eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 44, making it a strategic location for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development. The property’s gentle topography enhances its usability and development appeal. The terrain allows for straightforward planning, infrastructure layout, and site preparation, reducing potential costs associated with grading or access improvements. With active development already occurring in the surrounding area, this tract is well-positioned for investors and developers seeking to capitalize on growth along the I-44 corridor. Its proximity to a major metropolitan area, approximately one hour from St. Louis, further strengthens its appeal for both commercial ventures and residential expansion. Recent logging activity has opened portions of the property, creating multiple potential build sites while still leaving a solid stand of remaining timber. These cleared areas provide flexibility for future development plans, food plot installations, or continued recreational use. The logging process has also established an extensive internal trail system, offering convenient access throughout the property for vehicles, equipment, or outdoor activities. In addition to its development advantages, the property maintains strong recreational value. The land supports a healthy population of whitetail deer and wild turkey, making it suitable for hunting enthusiasts. The combination of timber, open areas, and natural travel corridors creates ideal habitat conditions. A small pond on the property provides a consistent water source for wildlife and adds to the overall usability of the land. The property also offers access to nearby streams in the area, expanding opportunities for fishing and outdoor recreation. This tract delivers a balance of investment potential and outdoor lifestyle appeal. Whether the goal is to develop a commercial project, establish a residential community, create a mixed-use development, or hold as a long-term land investment, this property offers flexibility and value. Its location, visibility, and accessibility set it apart as a premier offering in a high-demand region of Franklin County.

Rolling working farms and hardwood timber on the metro's rural edge.

Franklin County is where the eastern gateway becomes real country. Rolling countryside carries genuine working farms, pasture, and hay ground, threaded with hardwood timber along the ridges and creek bottoms. The Missouri River runs the county's northern edge, and the land south of it climbs into wooded hills that hold whitetail and turkey. This is prime territory for the buyer who wants a working or hobby farm, a cattle place, timber, or a recreational tract with room to breathe — all while staying within practical reach of the metro. The mix of productive ground, water, and cover gives Franklin an honest agricultural character that the counties closer to the city have largely traded away. It is countryside you can still farm and hunt.
