Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 156.57-acre land property offers a heavily wooded setting with mature, marketable white oaks and established trail systems that provide access throughout the tract. The property includes past clear cuts used to create sanctuary bedding areas, along with multiple established fields referenced for food plots. An existing old homestead remains on site, and the listing notes that the cabin has no value. Water features include a hand-dug, stone-lined well off the porch and a spring-fed pond out back, with additional open ground and pockets of fields surrounding the homestead.
Access is described as being off a 3/4-mile road that runs through Mark Twain National Forest. The property is bordered on three sides by National Forest, and the West boundary is noted as including a spring and Doolittle Creek. While the setting is remote and secluded, basic amenities in Plato are described as approximately 10 minutes away, with Mountain Grove about 35 minutes, Lebanon about 45 minutes, and Springfield about 1.5 hours. Springfield is the closest major market listed, with St. Louis noted at about 2.5 hours.
For buyers seeking a secluded recreational and timberland-style asset, the combination of woodland, trails, and on-site water features supports year-round outdoor use. The existing homestead elements, including the well and pond, may also interest operators who want a rugged, off-grid-oriented setup, subject to their own due diligence on condition, access, and any improvements.
