1 Strother Road (aka Harley Crocker Road)

About This Property

This great rural acreage sits in the northwest corner of Iron County near the village of Bixby. You'll be close to Montauk State Trout Park, Black River, Mark Twain National Forest, and have your own 40+ acres to explore, hunt, relax, or maybe build that secluded home. Or use it as a base camp for northern Ozarks adventuring. And you'll only be a couple hours from St. Louis if you need to leave the peacefulness behind from time to time. This property has great access off of and sits touching Missouri State Route 49 and an Iron County Road (Strother/Harley Crocker Road). Access is never an issue, yet you're still surrounded by wilderness and far from town. The nearby village of Bixby has a general store, restaurant and gas station. A few more miles away you'll find more amenities in the communities of Viburnum, Salem, Lesterville, Potosi or the Arcadia Valley. And the hunting is great. You'll find deer, turkey and small game. And maybe an occasional black bear passing through. Own this more than 40 acres of great wooded land for less than the price of a new pickup truck or luxury SUV.

Missouri's high igneous country, where the mountains still hold their timber.

Iron County sits at the rugged heart of the St. Francois Mountains, home to some of the highest, most broken ground in Missouri. Ancient igneous knobs rise out of heavy oak-hickory timber, and the terrain rewards buyers who want seclusion, elevation, and big-woods character. This is classic hardwood deer and turkey country, with pasture and hay ground tucked into the valleys between the ridges. The St. Francis River gathers its headwaters here among glades and rocky shut-ins. Land here leans toward timber, cattle, and recreation rather than row crops, and the mining heritage runs deep. For a hunting camp, a working cattle place, or a rugged recreational tract, Iron County offers scenery and solitude in equal measure.
