It was built by an owner who knew what he wanted out of a hunting property and put in the work to get it there. What you see here is the result of years of habitat work, dirt moving, and building not a property someone will need to fix, but one ready to hunt the day they take possession.The ground rolls through hardwood ridges and brushy bedding cover, with 70 to 80 acres of food plots laid out across the ranch in a variety of plantings. Hyde Creek, a rock-bottom Ozark stream, winds through the heart of the property and cuts through several other sections, providing wildlife with year-round live water and a natural travel corridor. Multiple springs feed the creek, keeping water on the ground through the dry months. A new pond is in place, currently about half full and not yet stocked, ready to finish out as the next owner sees fit. Deer and turkey numbers are as strong as anywhere in this part of Missouri, the product of long-term habitat management, food plots, and natural thickets that hold fawning does and nesting hens. Quail are also on the property and have grown in number each year. The current owner does not hunt them.Hunting infrastructure is in place and built to last. Ten box stands sit across the ranch: eight fiberglass, two Redneck, and six Hunt Safe blinds, among them, positioned over food plots and high-traffic timber funnels. A well-maintained interior and perimeter trail system ties the whole ranch together, allowing quiet access to and from every stand. Building those roads was no small job, and the result is a property that hunts as easily as it looks on a map.The cabin is a 30'x30' one-bedroom, set back off the road in a quiet spot where deer and turkey work the edges most mornings. A portable building with an addition adds four more beds and a full bath, enough room for a full hunting camp. An old 30'x30' barn has been converted into a cooking and gathering space with a pellet fireplace and kitchen, opening onto a 30'x30' covered slab with a TV. Good place to watch a game, run the grill, and keep an eye on the nearest food plot.A 30'x40' metal shop sits on a concrete slab with a 14-foot lean-to down one side, with plenty of room for equipment, side-by-sides, and gear. All the front buildings are wired and backed by a 20kW Cummins diesel generator on an automatic transfer switch. Lose power, and the hunt and the stay keep right on going.The ranch is about 30 minutes from Springfield and roughly an hour and a half from Branson, with the Springfield-Branson National Airport, hospitals, and any supplies you migh
