Quiet Gasconade hill country of pasture, timber, and creek bottoms

Maries County is a quiet stretch of the northern Ozarks where the Gasconade and Maries rivers wind through wooded hills and narrow bottoms. This is unhurried cattle and hay country, with rolling pasture on the ridgetops, oak-hickory timber down the slopes, and fertile bottomland along the water. Thin, rocky soils keep the working use in grazing and forage rather than row crop, while the timbered draws and river corridors hold steady numbers of whitetail and turkey. Clear, gravel-bottom streams add floating and fishing value to riverfront tracts. For buyers seeking a working cattle farm, a recreational hunting parcel, or simply seclusion within reach of the interstate, Maries offers honest, affordable Ozark ground.
