If you’re looking for a place that feels like the real Ozarks, rolling hills, mature hardwoods, deer trails worn deep into the ground, and that quiet sense of home that only this part of the country can give, you need to take a hard look at this one.

Sitting right off a quiet county road just outside Omaha, these 98 acres lay out beautifully. Gentle, rolling topography that doesn’t fight you. Open enough in spots to see across the land, yet timbered enough to hold wildlife year-round. The views from the home site are the kind that make you stop and just stand there for a minute. You’re looking out over your own ground, ponds catching the light, timbered ridges dropping off into draws. It’s the kind of setting that sells itself the second you step out of the truck.

Right there on the road, you’ve got a ready-made homestead setup. There’s a charming 1,120-square-foot fixer-upper with a little front porch, and that log-cabin feel that just fits the country. There is no question that it needs some TLC, but the bones are there, and the location is perfect. Just steps away is a second building with full living quarters and a complete bathroom, giving you two separate places to live or house guests, hunters, or family. Around the improvements, you’ll find a handful of outdoor pens and chicken coops already in place. Everything is right there, easy access, no long drive down a rough trail just to get to the house.

But the real story is the land itself. This place was made for somebody who wants to hunt, hike, and put a little sweat equity into a small farm or homestead. The grass base is solid, native grasses mixed with fescue and bermuda, so you’ve got a head start if you want to clear a few more acres and run some cattle, horses, or just put in bigger food plots. Two ponds sit nicely on the property, and a wet-weather creek cuts through the middle, adding water and travel corridors for wildlife.

The timber is a classic Ozark mix: chinkapin oak, white oak, red oak, post oak, and plenty of other hardwoods. It’s not wall-to-wall thicket—there are open pockets, good edges, and enough structure to create natural funnels. Multiple levels, pinch points, little ravines that come together, and a nice saddle that funnels deer and turkey movement like a textbook. The trail system already ties the property together from one end to the other, so you can get around easily whether you’re scouting, checking cameras, or just taking an evening walk.

Scattered across the ground, you’ll find small bluff sections and rock outcroppings that give the place real character. It feels wild without being inaccessible. Loaded with deer and turkey, the habitat is already working in your favor. A hunter can walk in and start making memories the first season. A homesteader can expand the grass, fix up the house, maybe add a bigger garden or more livestock, and build the exact Ozarks lifestyle they’ve been dreaming about.

Location seals the deal. You’re just outside Omaha, close enough to Harrison for everyday needs, a short hop to Branson when you want a little entertainment, and minutes from Bull Shoals Lake for fishing and recreation. Yet when you’re on the property, it feels like your own private corner of the mountains.

This is one of those places that checks every box for the outdoorsman who also wants a place to plant roots. Hunt it. Farm a little of it. Fix up the cabin and make it yours. Live the lifestyle. Properties with this combination of accessibility, character, wildlife, and potential don’t come around every day in Boone County.

If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, let’s get you out here for a private tour. I’d love to show you why this one feels so right.
