Property Description

Missouri Ozarks Horse Farm • Cattle Ranch • Hunting Retreat on 165.6
Surveyed Acres Near Alley Spring & the Ozark National Scenic Riverways


If you’ve been searching for the ultimate Missouri Ozarks ranch — one
that combines productive pasture, equestrian amenities, exceptional hunting,
and a private home surrounded by nature — this Shannon County property delivers
in every way.


This 165.6 surveyed-acre farm is truly special, bordered by Missouri
Conservation land on three sides
, creating unmatched privacy, protected
views, and direct access to thousands of acres of public riding, hunting, and
recreation ground. The current owners have successfully operated it as a horse
property, cattle farm, and hunting retreat
, and it is perfectly suited to
continue all three.


The land features approximately 100 acres of lush, high-producing
pasture
, including 30 acres of established hay ground, with quality
fencing and cross-fencing, much of it pipe reinforced. The gentle, usable
terrain makes this property ideal for livestock grazing, rotational pasture
management, or an equestrian operation
.

Water is abundant, with six ponds, two of which are stocked with
bass and crappie, offering both livestock water sources and recreational
fishing.


Equestrian and farm improvements include:
• Barn with 5 horse stalls
Riding arena and working pens
28×30 hay storage pole barn
• Multiple small outbuildings for equipment or livestock use

A standout feature is the impressive 40×48 insulated shop/RV storage
building
with concrete floors, electric, and four drive-through overhead
doors (two 14’ and two 10’), plus 50-amp service — perfect for ranch equipment,
horse trailers, RVs, or a workshop. A detached garage adds additional storage
and functionality.


The cedar-and-brick home with a walkout basement is positioned to
capture long-range Ozarks views while maintaining a peaceful, private setting.
Inside, you’ll find an inviting open-concept layout with abundant
natural light and quality finishes throughout.

The chef’s kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining,
featuring:
• Large island with quartz countertops
• Commercial 47-cu-ft refrigerator
• Gas cooktop
• Double ovens
• Ice maker
• Two sinks
• Dishwasher
• Spacious walk-in pantry

Hardwood floors run throughout the home, and the 3-bedroom, 2-bath
layout with walkout basement
provides flexible living space and easy
indoor/outdoor access.


The covered wrap-around deck is the perfect place
to relax and enjoy sweeping views of pasture, wildlife, and rolling Ozark
hills.

Efficiency and resilience were thoughtfully planned with propane heat,
wood furnace, backup solar system, and central air
, creating a highly
energy-efficient country home suited for year-round living or a self-sufficient
lifestyle.


The property has historically supported up to 50-head of cattle along
with multiple horses
, demonstrating its strong agricultural capability.


For equestrian enthusiasts, this location is hard to beat. The farm sits
approximately 6 miles on horseback from Alley Spring, one of the most
iconic destinations in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Known for
its stunning turquoise spring, historic red mill, and miles of scenic horseback
trails, Alley Spring draws riders, hikers, paddlers, and outdoor lovers from
across the country.


Being located near the Ozark National Scenic Riverways means
access to some of Missouri’s most protected natural beauty, including the Jacks
Fork and Current Rivers — famous for floating, fishing, camping, and exploring.


Wildlife on this property is exceptional. The mix of pasture, water, and
surrounding conservation land creates an ideal habitat for trophy whitetail
deer, turkey, and other native wildlife
, and bald eagles are often seen
soaring overhead. Established deer stands are already in place for hunting
season.


Despite the secluded feel, the property remains accessible to nearby
communities for supplies, services, and dining, making it a rare balance of
privacy and practicality.

This is more than just acreage — it’s a complete Ozarks ranch
lifestyle property
, offering income potential, recreation, livestock
capability, and long-term land value in one of the most scenic and protected
regions of Missouri.
