684 County Road 2155

A country home, four ponds, a private shooting range, and deer stands already in place, all on 78.36 surveyed acres at the end of a county road near Edgar Springs in Dent County. A stocked catfish pond sits in front of the house, and an established trail system runs across the rolling wooded hills. Whether you want a full-time residence, a weekend getaway or a dedicated hunting property, this acreage is ready to use from day one. White vinyl fencing lines the road frontage, and a black metal security gate between stone pillars marks the entrance. Being at the end of the road means privacy and little traffic. The 1,020 square foot home works as a full-time residence, a second home or a hunting retreat. An 8x34 front deck has plenty of room for outdoor seating, and a partially covered 8x20 deck faces the pond, made for morning coffee and watching wildlife come to the water. A covered 5x6 side entry deck adds convenience. The exterior is low-maintenance: cement board siding, a metal roof, gutters, double-pane vinyl-clad windows and stone veneer accents. The stocked catfish pond is steps from the porch, and three more ponds are spread across the property. Two of them have benches and fire pits, ready-made spots for an evening by the water. A wet-weather creek adds additional variety to the landscape. Larger white oaks grow among hickory, maple, dogwood and cedar along timbered ridges, hollows and scattered clearings. That variety of hardwoods, evergreen cover, terrain and water is what deer look for. With a newly planted food plot in the bottom, excellent deer sign observed, and multiple stands up and staying with the property, you can hunt your first season without hanging a stand. Turkey and small game round out the hunting. A well-maintained network of ATV and UTV trails connects the stands, ponds and ridges, so getting into a stand before daylight or hauling equipment for land work is easy. In a valley, a private shooting range with a bench, extra seating and a backstop is ready for sighting in before season or an afternoon of target shooting with friends. A 40x30 pole-barn-style machine shed covers the tractor, implements and ATVs or UTVs. An RV hookup with 30-amp electric and a sewer connection gives guests and hunting partners a place to park a camper. Edgar Springs puts you in the Missouri Ozarks, with Salem, Rolla and Licking nearby for supplies and services, and Mark Twain National Forest, Montauk State Park and the Current River in the region for fishing, camping and floating.
