Property features easy & convenient direct Highway 38 access & 4 other accesses: 4 developed, 4 off paved road & an additional one off gravel lane. Property consists of 8 separately deeded adjoining parcels with no parcel landlocked. Private internal roadways connect parcels. Roughly half of acreage lays outside city limits so NO ZONING or RESTRICTIONS. In-town half features city water + sewer & all farm animals except pigs are allowed. Timbered & meadowed out in the country feel yet so close to town. One block from grocery store & two from feed mill. Less than half mile to County seat services. About an hour to Springfield. This property features exceptional biodiversity & wildlife as more than 90% of all Hartville’s water resources flow through it. Property is loaded with deer & plenty of small game. Fox and Bobcat too. Crossing the private 100’ dual span concrete & steel bridge leads to an acre of flat, fenced, organic, river-bottom pasture land. Another access point is actually an old (historic) stage coach road. Lost Cannon balls from the historic Battle of Hartville have been found on-site. Trail of Tears runs through it. Plenty of history here! Low taxes. Mature fishing lakes were designed and built 15 years ago to function as a productive self-sustaining integrated non-intensive fishery. Intensive fishery management has pay lake potential. Smaller lake is directly fed by a very large, cold, year-round spring which flows from a sizable multi-entrance cavern featuring an internal, high volume low-drop waterfall and an external, low volume high-drop (8’ high) waterfall. Smaller lake is separated from larger, warmer lake by a massive 3-foot steel culvert with removable fish gate for easy fishery management. Simply turn and cast to fish either lake from the uniquely designed center-bank roadway. Smaller lake was stocked with rainbow trout but is now home to healthy populations of small-mouth and large-mouth bass - Some more than 7 pounds! Sun-perch, crappie and creek chub abound in both lakes along with a healthy population of smaller bait fish, frogs, & a few reproducing catfish. Cavern is a large & complex multi-level cave system - The lower level lies primarily within in the vadose zone & features bone chillingly cold yet refreshing (53–55 degree) water. The upper level lies entirely within the dry phreatic zone. A 1.5 hours underground journey brings one to the very impressive and highly decorated “waterfall room” that features a high volume 5’ high waterfall that sounds “thunderous”. Cavern is expert level ONLY and is closed. Cavern entrances are strategically flooded to prevent loss of life & protect cave resources) & cannot be explored (even with scuba gear) unless owner lowers water level & spring output is below a certain threshold. Neighbors are on close watch & will not give anyone permission to view property. Owner must physically accompany visitors or it’s trespassing. There are 2 old manufactured homes on-site that have little or no value. Clear away and make use of the water, sewer & electric hookups. A large solid oak slab wood barn that is in very good condition features electric & city water but needs section of roof repaired. There are a few 8’ X 28’ storage units on-site. Some need work & all need cleaned. They make great utility areas / dry firewood storage. There is also an 8’X20’ steel multi-purpose building with interior wood paneling & an old well. Terms: CASH, Conventional. Call 808-964-1234 to set up viewing time.
