Why This Steelville, Missouri Land Auction Stands Out
Direct National Forest Access
Few properties can claim a boundary with 16,000+ acres of protected forest. This land offers immediate access to public trails, wildlife habitat, horseback riding, hiking, and hunting opportunities that extend well beyond the property lines.
Balanced Land Mix: Pasture + Timber
-
Approximately 38± acres of open pasture, currently producing hay
-
Mature hardwoods and pine across the balance of the acreage
-
Ideal habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and other Ozark wildlife
This combination provides agricultural utility, recreation, and strong long-term land stewardship potential.
Elevated Build Sites with Valley Views
Multiple high-elevation building locations provide sweeping Ozark valley views. Whether you envision:
-
A primary residence
-
A hunting cabin
-
A weekend retreat
-
A legacy family lodge
The terrain offers both privacy and scenery.
Improvements & Functional Infrastructure
A major highlight of this Iron County property is the 4,200± square foot metal shop featuring:
-
Concrete floors
-
Electric service
-
Septic system
-
Nearby well
-
Attached lean-to for additional covered storage
This structure offers immediate usability for equipment storage, livestock support, workshop space, or establishing a fully functional recreational basecamp.
Natural Water Features
Water is one of the most valuable attributes in Ozark land ownership.
This property includes:
-
Natural springs
-
A wet-weather creek
-
Drainage flowing into Courtois Creek
Courtois Creek is known for its clear, spring-fed waters and fishing opportunities, further enhancing recreational appeal.
Location & Accessibility
-
Address: 4263 County Rd 1, Steelville, Missouri
-
County: Iron County
-
Approximately 2 hours from St. Louis
-
Secluded yet accessible via county road frontage
Steelville is widely recognized as a gateway to the Ozarks, making this property ideal for buyers seeking both remoteness and reasonable travel convenience.
Important Property Notes
A house is located on the property; however, it is not livable and is considered to have no contributory value. The buyer may choose to remove the structure at their discretion.
Preview Day Information
March 8th | 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
We encourage interested buyers to walk the property, inspect improvements, and experience the setting firsthand prior to auction day.
