Description
Located just 10 miles from Salem along Highway 32, this exceptional 65± acre timber tract offers a rare opportunity to own premium recreational land in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks. Positioned in a highly desirable area of Ozark Mountains, this property combines outstanding hunting potential, long-term timber value, direct highway access and immediate access to thousands of acres of public land, creating an ideal setup for outdoor enthusiasts, investors and those seeking a private retreat. The property features approximately 300 feet of Highway 32 frontage, providing excellent year-round accessibility. A wide established entryway allows easy access into the tract, making it simple to navigate. Electric access is available onsite, adding immediate utility and future development flexibility for a cabin, hunting camp, or RV setup with modern conveniences. As you move through the property, the landscape showcases everything buyers seek in premium recreational land. Deep wooded hollows, rolling topography and beautiful oak flat-top ridges create exceptional wildlife habitat while delivering the scenic character the Missouri Ozarks are known for. A mix of mature white oak timber adds visual appeal, key food sources for deer, and potential future investment value. Two established wildlife ponds provide year-round water sources for deer, turkey, and other native wildlife, enhancing both hunting opportunities and habitat quality. The diverse terrain includes several potential locations for small food plots, allowing further improvement, wildlife management and hunting success. Multiple abandoned trails weave throughout the property and could easily be reopened, providing excellent access for ATVs, hiking, habitat management, or quiet access to hunting locations. One of the most unique features of this property is its direct border with Mark Twain National Forest, opening the door to thousands of additional public acres for hunting, hiking and year-round outdoor recreation. Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find, especially with private highway frontage and utilities already in place. This tract is also ideally positioned near some of Missouri’s most iconic outdoor destinations. The headwaters of the Meramec River and the Current River are both nearby, offering world-class floating, fishing, kayaking, camping, and scenic river recreation. Montauk State Park is just a short drive away and is widely recognized for some of the finest trout fishing in the Ozarks. Additional hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing opportunities can be found at Indian Trail Conservation Area. While the property offers rural living and enjoyment, modern conveniences remain easily accessible with shopping, dining, healthcare, and essential services available in Salem, Rolla, and surrounding communities. Whether you are searching for a Missouri hunting property, ideal site to build a home, or a gateway to endless public land adventure, this 65 acre tract bordering Mark Twain National Forest offers a combination of features that is increasingly hard to find.
