Description

Secluded down a 3/4 mile road through Mark Twain National Forest, 156.6 Acres awaits its next chapter. Bordered on three sides by National Forest, a spring and Doolittle Creek on the West boundary, and multiple established fields for food plots, this property positions itself as a heavy hitter for serious hunters and those with a rugged spirit. Mature, marketable white oaks tower over trail systems that provide access throughout the property. Past clear cuts are placed strategically for sanctuary bedding areas. Growing, and holding trophy whitetails and quality turkey will not be an issue on this place. At the end of the main ridge, the old homestead still serves as a quintessential hunting camp where old stories are told and new memories are made. It features a hand dug, stone lined well off the porch and a spring fed pond out back, with hidden pocket fields and open ground surrounding it. This property would make a great off-grid homestead with ultimate privacy. While being remote and secluded, you can be to basic amenities in Plato just 10 minutes for everyday or camp needs. If you're looking to escape, build and manage a whitetail heaven, or bug out homestead, this 156.6 acres in Northern Wright County Missouri is worth your time to visit.
