Description
This historic Dent County farm is available for purchase for the first time in over twenty-five years. Located near Dent Ford and Short Bend, this portion of the county was among the first settled in the mid-1800s. It’s easy to see why this region attracted early settlers, as its resources are abundant. This 657+/- acre tract showcases every attribute that makes this part of Dent County so special.
The farm is incredibly private and secluded, yet it has county road frontage. Despite being an easy drive to Salem or Steelville, you won’t want to leave once you get here. With over a mile of Meramec River frontage, there are opportunities for incredible fishing, swimming, or setting up a private float trip on your own property. Part of the area around the river has been cleared, making it easily accessible. It’s hard to believe you’re on private property when standing along the river. Approximately 90 acres of the farm are in pasture, offering the owner the ability to raise livestock, generate income from hay production, or plant food plots for local wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, this farm is loaded. Good luck trying to drive the trails without seeing deer or turkey. The deer produced on this farm are impressive for any area in the state, as seen in the pictures.
Tucked down a private 0.6-mile-long driveway sits the custom home with approximately 2,400 square feet of finished living space. The house is turnkey and suitable as a private residence, weekend getaway, or hunting camp. There is ample space to store equipment, tools, and toys in the large, detached shop, which includes a lean-to. Navigating the property is easy with over five miles of established roads and trails. These roads traverse the pasture and extend into the timbered ridges, creating nearly unlimited hunting, hiking, or riding opportunities.
The river isn’t the only water source; the farm also features Whitaker Creek frontage and two wildlife ponds hidden amongst the timber. In fact, to enter the property, you cross your own private bridge over Whitaker Creek, beginning the trek to the heart of the farm. If you are in the market for the ultimate recreational property, legacy investment, or secluded primary residence, you need to tour this farm. It’s truly a special place, and its uniqueness is unmatched.
