About This Property

These 73 +/- acres are a perfect mix of rolling terrain, hardwood ridges, and open fields, creating an ideal habitat for wildlife. Multiple ponds and strategically laid-out timbered ridges offer outstanding opportunities for deer and turkey hunting, while also providing several beautiful building sites for a future home with scenic views. Thoughtfully designed for both access and function, the barn is positioned at the front corner of the property to minimize disturbance to the hunting grounds. A gravel driveway—recently upgraded with a 12-inch gravel base and water diversion cuts—ensures long-term durability and easy access. With only two property owners sharing the drive, traffic remains minimal. With no road frontage, the property maintains a high level of privacy, making it a true secluded getaway where you can hunt, build, or simply relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Spring-fed float streams and grazing ridges near the Meramec headwaters

Phelps County lies on the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau, where clear headwater streams like the Little Piney and the upper Meramec cut through wooded hills and gravel-bottom valleys. The land is classic Ozark country: oak-hickory timber and shortleaf pine over thin, rocky soils that favor pasture, hay, and cattle over intensive farming. Recreational buyers are drawn to the cold, spring-fed float water and the deer and turkey that thrive in the ridge-and-hollow terrain. With Mark Twain National Forest nearby and the university town of Rolla as a regional hub, tracts here balance working ground with strong recreational appeal. It is solid country for a cattle operation, a timbered hunting parcel, or a stream-side retreat.
