Description

Whitaker Marketing Group is proud to present this 257.32± acre Ozark retreat near Steelville, offering an exceptional blend of privacy, recreation, and usable improvements in Iron County, Missouri. This hard-to-find tract borders more than 16,000 acres of the Mark Twain National Forest, creating a secluded setting with seemingly endless room to hunt, hike, ride horses, and explore. Approximately 38 acres of open pasture are currently producing hay, while the balance is timbered with mature hardwoods and pine-ideal habitat for wildlife and year-round enjoyment. Multiple elevated building sites provide beautiful valley views and excellent options for a future home, cabin, or lodge. A major bonus is the 4,200± sq ft metal shop with concrete floors, electric, septic, a nearby well, adding immediate function for equipment storage, projects, or a basecamp setup. Natural springs and a wet-weather creek run through the property before flowing into Courtois Creek, a spring-fed stream known for clear water and fishing. Located roughly two hours from St. Louis, this is a standout property for recreation, relaxation, and long-term legacy ownership.

Preview Day: March 8th, 12pm-3pm
