5071 Mill Rock Road

About This Property

This 19.4+/- acre riverfront recreational property offers Bourbeuse River frontage, wooded hunting ground, a cabin build site, and walking distance to the Missouri Department of Conservation's Mill Rock Access. Located at 5071 Mill Rock Road near Gerald, the tract sits conveniently between Highway 50 and Interstate 44. If you are looking for riverfront land, a cabin site, or a private hunting property in east-central Missouri, this tract fits. Hardwoods and cedar cover much of the acreage, creating varied terrain and cover. The southeast corner of the property meets the Bourbeuse River, so you can fish from your own riverbank. The Bourbeuse is known for its smallmouth, spotted, and largemouth bass, along with channel and flathead catfish. Mill Rock Access adjoins the tract. It provides public fishing access to the Bourbeuse and includes a low water bridge across the river, giving you another way to explore the river beyond your own frontage. Privately owned river frontage next to an established conservation access makes this location especially useful for a recreational landowner. For hunting, the property offers a mix of hardwood timber, cedar cover, and wooded slopes. The drop from the higher ground down toward the river creates several terrain features to work with when planning stand locations and access routes. The timber provides habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Electric is available on the tract, with a cleared utility corridor running through the timber to a grassy opening surrounded by hardwoods and cedars, a natural spot for a future cabin. The older structures on the property are beyond repair, so the value here is in the acreage, location, river frontage, timber, and recreation. This Franklin County tract gives you the ground to hunt, fish the Bourbeuse, and build a cabin on the river. Reach out today for your own private tour.

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.
