Description
Situated in the heart of Mercer County, Missouri, this exceptional 114± acre recreational farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly private and secluded property featuring impressive frontage along the scenic Weldon River. Whether one is seeking a premier hunting property, a family recreational retreat, or a long-term land investment, this farm fits the bill.
The Weldon River serves not only as a picturesque backdrop but also as an outstanding natural travel corridor for mature whitetail deer, particularly during the rut, attracting cruising bucks from considerable distances. When combined with a strong surrounding community of like-minded landowners committed to Quality Deer Management (QDM), this property possesses the essential elements to consistently support exceptional deer and turkey hunting opportunities.
Approximately 9.5 FSA acres of productive bottom-ground tillable acreage provide significant versatility. The land may continue to be farmed for annual income or alternatively be converted into destination food plots designed to attract and retain wildlife throughout the season. Multiple established food plot locations further enhance the property’s overall hunting potential.
The timber composition includes a healthy mix of white oak, hickory, walnut, cottonwood, and other hardwood species, offering high-quality wildlife habitat in its current state while also presenting potential future income through selective timber harvest, if desired.
The year-round Weldon River provides a dependable freshwater source for wildlife while also offering extensive recreational opportunities for the entire family. Time may be spent fishing, floating, kayaking, or canoeing along one of North Missouri’s most scenic river systems, followed by peaceful evenings overlooking a private stretch of river frontage.
Access is another notable advantage, with entry available from both the north and south sides of the property. Further enhancing its value, the farm adjoins 230± acres of Missouri Conservation land to the south, expanding hunting opportunities and providing additional access to the property.
Properties offering this combination of privacy, diverse habitat, recreational amenities, river frontage, income potential, and adjacency to public land are becoming increasingly scarce. Whether pursuing trophy Missouri whitetails, spring gobblers, recreational river activities with family, or a strategic land investment in North Missouri, this farm is well-positioned to provide lasting value and generational memories.
