0000 Wood Thrush Lane, Ozark, MO 65721 (MLS# 60274336)

Tucked into the wooded hills of central Christian County you'll find Wood Thrush Lane, and just off of this rural roadway lies 76+/- acres of wooded paradise cloaked with oaks and hickories in the overstory and soft mosses and ferns near the ground. Buyers looking for a secluded build site for a home in the woods should give this one a close look. With rural electric service available along the road and a fairly flat ridgetop in the southwest corner, you could experience life in the forest, well buffered from the hectic pace of the city, where you'll hear more whippoorwills and owls than cars. But while it feels very remote, this property is just 13 miles from Ozark, 20 miles from Saddlebrook, and 30 miles from Branson. A nice side by side trail winds over and through the rolling hills and creek bottom, allowing good access to the main ridges crossing through the parcel as it course up and down the wooded slopes and lots of fun for offroad enthusiasts. Plenty of deer and turkeys call this property home, and it also affords good opportunities to spot a black bear, as many have been seen on and near this land cruising through the woods seeking food and shelter. Myriad woodland plants emerge from the forest floor, offering the promise of an excellent response for a new owner with an interest in prescribed burning to improve the wildlife habitat. And if this property itself doesn't offer quite enough room to roam, thousands of additional acres are available for exploration on the Mark Twain National Forest land that's accessible along the property's eastern boundary, and Busiek State Forest is less than 2 miles to the southwest. This property is one of the best deals on Christian County rural land currently on the market, offering lots of fun at a budget-friendly price.
