23610 Farm Road 1135

The Ozark Mountains are renowned for their natural beauty, and this property offers plenty of things you'll love. Nestled up against the north end of Roaring River State Park, it beckons you to explore, hunt, hike, and just enjoy the beautiful scenery found in every direction. The farm is accessed by two public roads, with FR 1135 offering access through the state park, and FR 1150 coming into the north end of the property. The access through the state park is unique, in that it's a little known public road that feels like your own private access. In addition, an old county road runs along part of the north end of the land, providing a convenient shortcut between the maintained roads, and a deeded easement runs up to the timbered ridge in the property's northwest corner.A small off-grid cabin provides good shelter and a base of operations for weekend fishing trips to the state park or a deer hunt with friends and family. The cabin is modest but well-built, and could even provide some income as a rustic short term rental. A 27-acre hay field on the east side of the farm provides opportunities for wildlife food plots, grazing acres for livestock, or a spectacular build site for a secluded home or cabin. The woods are full of mature hardwoods, with oaks, hickories, and walnuts covering the hills and hollows. The terrain is a mix of rugged and gentle slopes, flat topped ridges, and gravel-bottomed stream beds, with ancient rock outcroppings scattered throughout. Wildlife species of many kinds are abundant, and hunters will appreciate the >4400' of shared border with the north end of Roaring River State Park. Because this part of the park is so remote and hard to access, it effectively serves as a sanctuary for deer and other wildlife. In addition, more than 25,000 acres of public land are nearby, including the Mark Twain National Forest and conservation areas managed by the MDC, so you'll never run out of places to explore, hunt, and hike.
