"Nothing left to be desired." That is what you say when you walk away from this world-class recreational ranch. This stunning ranch is loaded with so many features that make it both unique and desirable for all outdoor lovers. As you access the land from the well-maintained county gravel road, you are greeted with multiple quality access points, five-strand barbed wire fencing, and end of the road privacy and seclusion. The charming 900 sq ft farmhouse is maintained very well, is partially remodeled, has a small shop/outbuilding, and makes for an ideal ranch house or hunting camp. A private gated entrance and well-manicured grounds make it both appealing and cozy. The property boasts rural water, making the farming possibilities endless. Just past the quaint homesite at the end of the road is the main entrance to the property; this excellent access is level and large enough for any equipment you may need. As you pull in, there is a 30x50 metal shop building with two large bay doors, 15' awning, concrete floors, and 220 electric service. The ranch is comprised of 2 main topographical features; the open ridge top and the stunning creek bottom. The "top" part of the land is simply mesmerizing with lush and established hay meadows, open lanes and trails, food plots, massive hardwood flats, and five ponds. The largest and most notable is the small lake loaded with life being spring-fed; it is stocked with fish, has over 1,500 ft of incredible shoreline, and boasts approximately 3 acres of water. The setting is tranquil and peaceful as you sit amongst the towering white oak and red oak trees that create a park-like environment around the beautiful lake. The trail system is amazing, with over 2 miles of trails, all of which can easily be navigated by vehicle. As you take one of the several trails off the mountain to the valley below, you drive through some of the most pristine, mature, marketable, and beautiful hardwood timber I've seen in the Ozarks. This hardwood stand is predominantly white oak, red oak, walnut, and hickory. The massive trees tower along the road as you make your way below. Numerous massive flats run along the hillside, creating almost a stairway from the ridgetops to the bottoms, and offer ample hunting, trail riding, and exploring. When you arrive in the valley, you must catch your breath again. Scenes straight from a movie jump out at every turn. The famous Osage Creek flows through the ranch for under 3.5 miles on both sides! There are at least five springs on the property that feed the creek and create multiple water sources throughout the timber and bottoms for livestock or wildlife. The lush hay fields in the bottom are amazing and add to this unique place's diversity. Another 4+ miles of trails/roads get you all over the timbered hills and fertile bottoms that blanket the creek. As you can imagine, all of these pristine features culminate to create one of the diverse and desirable hunting tracts the region has to offer. The saturation of wild game is awe-inspiring and makes for an outdoor lover's paradise. The property has historically produced excellent whitetail deer, turkey, and bear. And even elk call this mecca their home. It's not uncommon to see multiple elk herds and bachelor groups of massive bulls throughout the summer and early fall. This region is known not just for the stunning bull elk but also for massive whitetail bucks. The black bear population is high, and some gigantic black bears have been seen roaming the hillsides. And in the spring, the thundering gobbles of the resident tom turkeys fill the valley. Decades of trapping have been implemented, adding to the diversity and wild game health. As the sun sets across the breathtaking landscape of the Ozark Mountains, the handiwork of God is all over this special place. All of the attributes that make up a world-class ranch come together like a symphony to create one of the most impressive pieces of land you will find. The icing on the cake? How about just 25 minutes to the famous Buffalo National River headwaters in Ponca, AR! A lifetime goes by before another tract like this comes along. Don't wait. Call today for your private showing.
