This 257.53-acre property offers an unparalleled blend of history, utility and Ozark beauty. Sitting against more than 16, 000 acres of Mark Twain National Forest, it gives you a private domain with a massive public playground next door. About 38 acres are open pasture that’s been producing hay, while the balance is mature timber—hardwoods and pine that not only provide excellent wildlife habitat and possible income potential. The land’s crown jewel is a 4, 200-square-foot metal shop with a lift, lean-to, concrete floors, electric service, septic and a nearby well. With a spot to build in front of shop overlooking the valley. The old homestead, once known as the “Alligator Clutch” local hang out/bar run by a former wrestler, is not salvageable, but its some structures remain and lots of stories! Would be a great site to rebuild. Natural springs and a wet-weather creek traverse the property before feeding Courtois Creek, a spring-fed stream known for its crystal-clear water, gravel bars and abundant smallmouth bass, bluegill and largemouth bass. With the adjoining national forest offering endless opportunities for hiking, horseback riding and hunting, this place is tailor-made for outdoor enthusiasts who want seclusion. Countless gorgeous building sites to build your dream home! Roughly a two-hour drive from St.?Louis, this is a rare chance to own a large block of land that checks every box for ranching, recreation, timber and long-term investment.Show Description MLS® Number25061539
