Located along State Highway 14 east of Ava in Douglas County, Missouri, this timbered acreage offers a diverse landscape with mature hardwood forest, natural water features, varied topography, and direct highway frontage. The property consists almost entirely of timber and provides a mix of habitat, recreational opportunities, and potential locations for future trail development.

The forest is made up of a nearly closed canopy of mature timber that includes white oak, red oak, black oak, hickory, and scattered pine. The diversity of tree species contributes to a healthy woodland environment while providing seasonal food sources and cover for native wildlife. Throughout the property, areas of native understory support ferns, wildflowers, and additional plant diversity that complement the mature timber.

The terrain varies across the tract, creating a landscape with broad flat ridges, gently rolling hills, and a scenic ravine in the southeastern portion of the property. This variation provides numerous vantage points and natural travel corridors while adding visual interest throughout the property.

One of the property's defining features is its abundance of natural water. Multiple springs emerge from the hillsides and feed a primary creek that winds through the timber. Along the creek, several natural rock cascades create moving water over exposed bedrock. A prominent waterfall measuring more than 10 feet in height serves as a centerpiece of the property, where water flows over native rock formations before continuing downstream. The combination of springs, creek, and waterfalls provides year-round natural features that enhance the landscape and contribute to wildlife habitat.

Large rock outcroppings are found skirting the ravine, adding unique geological character and additional diversity to the terrain. These formations, combined with the mature timber and flowing water, create a setting representative of the rugged Ozark landscape.

Wildlife is abundant throughout the property. The mature timber, natural water sources, and varied topography provide habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and a variety of small game species. Existing habitat diversity offers opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and other outdoor recreational activities.

Several old roadbeds remain visible throughout the property. While no longer actively maintained, they provide a foundation for establishing future access trails with thoughtful planning. These existing corridors make it easier to navigate portions of the property and offer flexibility for improving internal access over time.

Boundary fencing is present along the entire east and south property lines. Approximately one-half of the western boundary also contains existing fence, while the remaining western line includes older remnant fencing.

With frontage along State Highway 14, the property offers convenient year-round access while maintaining the privacy and character of a heavily wooded Ozark tract. The property is located approximately 13 miles east of Ava, 24 miles northwest of Gainesville, 36 miles south of Mountain Grove, 42 miles west of West Plains, 75 miles southeast of Springfield, and 80 miles northeast of Branson, placing it within a comfortable drive of several communities while offering a secluded recreational setting.

Whether your interests include hunting, recreation, exploring the Ozarks, or owning a mature timber tract with exceptional natural water features, this Douglas County property offers a combination of hardwood timber, springs, waterfalls, rock formations, and diverse terrain that is increasingly difficult to find in one contiguous parcel.
