Southern Missouri Ranch with Creek, Spring, Barn & Cottage - Drury, MOThis is the one you've been waiting for--a rare 40-acre Missouri Ozarks ranch with private Bryant Creek frontage! Swim, fish, or float the crystal-clear waters right from your own property, or launch a kayak at home and float to historic Hodgson Mill.

Step onto expansive decks or relax under the gazebo while enjoying sweeping views of the creek. Energy efficiency is built in with geo-thermal HVAC, a pellet stove, and a wood cook stove, keeping electric bills around $180/month.This is a property built for recreation and self-sufficiency: a barn, workshop with electricity, a spring, pasture to raise beef, fruit trees, and abundant wildlife. It's ideal for hunting, fishing, gardening, or homesteading.Located near Rockbridge Trout Ranch and thousands of acres of Mark Twain National Forest, the recreational opportunities are endless. And when you need amenities, you're just a short drive to West Plains for shopping, dining, medical, and college.This property is truly a self-sufficient recreational retreat where you can live, play, and thrive in the Missouri Ozarks.
