Description
You hear it often but rarely does it ring true, "Once in a lifetime opportunity"… With this truly spectacular Ozark Mountain Ranch, it couldn't be truer. What a stunning and unique chance to own some of the most special ground I've ever laid my eyes on. No matter your checklist, this one leaves no box empty. The obvious features you search for in real estate typically start with location, and this one doesn't disappoint. The proximity to the beautiful attractions this region is known for is convenient, to say the least; a short drive to the Buffalo National River, the famous White River, Bull Shoals Lake, and the Ozark National Forest. As you pull into the ranch off the county road, you are immediately greeted with a parklike setting on a beautiful drive, massive oak trees, manicured grounds, a large spring-fed pond, lovely country-style caretakers' quarters, and more. As you begin your journey, a three-bay machine shed large metal shop, spacious working garage, tool sheds, and more provide ample storage for equipment, implements, and more. The integral road and trail system allows quality access to virtually every acre. Approximately 600 acres of open quality fescue, Bermuda, and native grasses make up the impeccable pastures. The perimeter is fully fenced with either barbed wire or web wire and provides the security and peace of mind that any rancher needs. More recently, an incredible undertaking of new cross-fencing took place. Over 4 miles of web wire, new braces, gates, working pens, and more have all added to the incredible infrastructure and a brilliantly laid-out electric fence for keeping bulls and goats. Metal pipe corner posts, gates, and corrals all ensure long-lasting use and maintenance-free operation. Currently, about 100 quality Angus cattle roam the hills on about half of the ranch, and the other side is complimented by a very lucrative herd of approximately 400 meat goats. The ranch's production averages approximately $120,000-$150,000 in gross annual sales. Two large hay barns are strategically located for easy access both in summer hay months and winter-feeding months. The massive barn in the center of the ranch is a sight to behold with holding pens, pipe corrals, head gates, squeeze chutes, loading pens, a watering system, and more. Numerous fenced driving and moving lanes have been installed for easy transportation, navigation from one pasture to another, and moving of livestock when desired. Two smaller working pens with head gates have been added at other key spots on the ranch for even more convenient working options. Each pasture has quality water; a total of 13 ponds, multiple custom watering systems, springs, creeks, and more. The 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom caretakers' quarters is a beautifully remodeled 1782 sq ft country home with plenty of space and charm. No detail was left out in the building of this incredible ranch, so how could it be any better? The second half of this "dual purpose" ranch is the recreational phenomenon that makes up the rest of this truly unique mecca. Hundreds of acres of mature and marketable hardwood timber fill the valleys and hillsides. This stand is mostly made up of white oak and red oak but also contains some walnut, hickory, and many other hardwood species. This diversity is also complimented by quality browse, thickets, bedding, and incredible understory for more attraction to the wildlife. As you can imagine the hunting for whitetail deer, turkey, black bear, and more is simply amazing. Multiple springs pour from the ground all throughout the property providing ample water sources for game and man alike. Spring Creek, a large year-round freshwater creek, flows into a valley, creating a 4-acre lake. This lake has incredible shoreline, stunning views, and, you guessed it, stocked and loaded with fish. Large enough for a small boat, the endless fun this unique water feature offers is unrivaled. You also find a fantastic hunting cabin as you make your way around the miles of ATV trails. This off-grid true log cabin has the nostalgia of a 19th-century trappers' cabin but has a functioning bathroom and kitchen for those looking for a more comfortable hunting trip. Endless exploring and hiking opportunities are at your fingertips. They will undoubtedly lead you to the huge sheer bluff faces, the massive cave, and a monster spring that compliment this gem and is sure to please any true explorer. The spring produces an immense amount of crystal-clear fresh water and flows year-round, and is situated in the heart of the hardwoods and rock faces that embody the essence of the Ozarks. The fingerprints of love, hard work, God's unmatched design, infrastructure, natural water, dedication, brilliant layout, and pure raw beauty create a symphony of tranquility and beauty like you've never witnessed. Finding all these features on one ranch has eluded many folks for a lifetime, but today is the day. Ranches like these truly do come once in a generation and you don't want to miss it, call today for your private showing! *Farming equipment, livestock, machinery, and tools available for separate purchase if desired.
