Secluded Ranch Bordering Mark Twain Nat’l Forest in Vanzant, MO

Tucked away at the end of the drive, where privacy,
scenery, and nature take center stage, this exceptional 225-acre Ozark ranch
is the kind of property buyers search for years to find—and rarely come
available. Even better, it is priced BELOW a recent appraisal, making
this an outstanding buy in today’s market.

The land is truly special, featuring natural springs,
a year-round creek, a cave, and a beautiful mix of mature timber and
approximately 60 acres of open pasture. The setting is scenic, peaceful,
and highly private, with the bonus of joining Mark Twain National Forest,
creating endless opportunities for hunting, hiking, riding, and exploration
right out your back door.

At the heart of the property sits a rustic ranch-style
home that blends warmth, character, and functionality. Inside, you’ll find 4
bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, an inviting open hearth room, and two
custom native stone fireplaces that anchor the home with true Ozark charm. Exposed
oak beams run throughout, adding richness and timeless character.

The country kitchen is designed for gathering and
everyday living, offering abundant counter space, beautiful custom cabinetry,
and a pantry, all flowing easily into the main living areas. A large laundry
room adds convenience and storage.

Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a covered
front porch, covered back deck, additional patio space, firepit, and dedicated
outdoor entertaining areas—perfect for enjoying quiet evenings, family
gatherings, or simply taking in the views.

This property has seen extensive recent upgrades,
including a new metal roof, new HVAC system and ductwork, new heat pump, new
flooring, upgraded bathrooms, and an improved well system, allowing buyers
to enjoy peace of mind while still appreciating the home’s rustic character.

The land is thoughtfully laid out with three paddocks,
good grass and hay ground, and multiple trails throughout the
property. For the outdoor enthusiast, wildlife is abundant, with established
food plots attracting whitetail deer and other game.

Improvements include a barn/shop/equipment shed, hay
storage, lawn shed, garden shed, and well house, providing everything
needed for ranching, recreation, or a self-sustaining lifestyle.

Despite the private setting, the property is conveniently
located—approximately 20 minutes to Cabool, and 25 minutes to Willow
Springs, offering easy access to shopping, dining, schools, healthcare, and
everyday amenities while still enjoying true Ozarks seclusion.

If you’re looking for a legacy property with
water, timber, pasture, wildlife, and unmatched privacy—priced well below
appraised value—this one checks every box.
