About This Property

Located just a few minutes north of Richwoods along Highway 47, this Washington County property offers a combination of a finished log home, private lake, multiple outbuildings, established trails, and hunting and recreational opportunities. A scenic private drive leads from the highway through the property to the approximately 3,000 square foot finished log home, providing a private setting surrounded by the natural landscape. The log home serves as the centerpiece of the property and provides approximately 3,000 square feet of finished living space. Its location offers convenient access to the other improvements while maintaining separation from the highway. A detached two-car garage provides additional parking and storage for vehicles, tools, and recreational equipment. A barn is also located on the property and provides substantial additional space for equipment, tools, ATVs, recreational gear, and general storage. Combined with the detached garage, the property offers multiple options for storing the equipment needed to maintain and enjoy the acreage. From the main improvements, an established trail leads through the timber to an approximately 6 +/- acre lake. The lake is fully stocked and provides opportunities for fishing and spending time on the water. Improvements at the lake include electric service, a water well, boat dock, and pavilion. These features create a convenient gathering area for fishing, relaxing, and enjoying the property. A small portable cabin is also located near the lake, providing a simple place for overnight campouts or spending additional time near the water. The combination of the lake, pavilion, dock, utilities, and portable cabin makes this area a distinct recreational feature within the property. Miles of established trails extend throughout the acreage, providing access to different areas of the property. These trails make it easier to reach hunting locations, food plots, and other portions of the tract while also offering opportunities for hiking and ATV riding. The existing trail system provides a useful foundation for property management and year-round recreation. For hunters, numerous food plots and hunting locations are positioned throughout the property. Several elevated blinds and deer stands are already in place, providing existing hunting infrastructure for a future owner. The combination of timber, food plots, water, and varying habitat creates opportunities for whitetail deer and wild turkey hunting. The timbered portions of the property provide cover and travel corridors for wildlife while also contributing to the privacy surrounding the home and lake. With established food plots and a substantial water source already present, the property offers multiple habitat features that can be incorporated into future wildlife management plans. The property's layout allows the different improvements and recreational features to complement one another. The log home and detached garage provide the primary living and storage areas, while the large barn adds considerable space for equipment and other uses. Farther into the property, the lake serves as a separate recreational destination, and the extensive trail system connects different areas while providing access for hunting and land management. Its location along Highway 47 just north of Richwoods provides convenient access while the private drive creates separation between the residence and roadway. Whether the focus is country living, fishing, hunting, ATV riding, wildlife management, or simply enjoying a large recreational property, this Washington County tract offers a wide range of existing improvements and outdoor features.

Float streams and timber in Missouri's old mineral country.

Washington County is rolling Ozark border country with a deep mining heritage, long known for its tiff and mineral diggings. The land rises into timbered hills and ridges, cut by some of the finest float streams in the state, clear and spring-fed creeks that draw paddlers and anglers through the warm months. Mark Twain National Forest ground is scattered across the county. This is timber, cattle, and recreation land: hardwood ridges that hold deer and turkey, pasture and hay in the valleys, and gravel-bar streams for floating and fishing. For a hunting property, a working cattle place, or a recreational tract on good water, Washington County offers a lot of Ozark character within easy reach of St. Louis.
