This 197+/- acre property on Brainerd Road offers a rare combination of proven hunting, natural beauty, privacy, and exceptional build potential in one of the most desirable recreational corridors in central Missouri.
Whitetail deer and turkey are abundant, and the property is well suited for serious hunting with a large, well-positioned blind already in place. A strong mix of mature timber, natural funnels, open ground, and water creates outstanding wildlife habitat and multiple opportunities for food plots and strategic stand locations throughout the property. Consistent wildlife activity has also been documented through trail camera footage, reinforcing the property’s reputation as a strong deer and turkey tract.
The recreational appeal is equally impressive. A well-established trail system allows for easy access across the property for riding, hiking, and exploring, while still preserving the sense of seclusion and privacy that makes a tract like this so special.
One of the most striking features of the property is its park-like entrance, where lush grass, mature timber, and a creek running alongside create an immediate sense of beauty and arrival. From there, the rolling terrain opens to multiple outstanding building sites with long-range views, ideal for a custom home, lodge, or luxury cabin.
Approximately 24+/- acres of open ground provide flexibility for food plots, small-scale farming, horses, or livestock, while the balance of the acreage is covered in mature timber that enhances privacy, habitat quality, and long-term land value. The open ground is positioned in multiple areas across the property, offering added flexibility for food plots, livestock, or separate build site options. A year-round creek, pond, and seasonal stream further strengthen the property’s functionality, wildlife value, and overall appeal.
With approximately 1,275 feet of road frontage on Brainerd Road and electric already running through the property, access and future development are both convenient and practical. The existing internal road system provides a strong foundation for continued improvement depending on the buyer’s vision.
Located approximately 30 minutes from Fort Leonard Wood and Lake of the Ozarks, this property offers an exceptional balance of accessibility and retreat.
Whether the goal is a high-quality hunting property, a private recreational getaway, or a scenic homesite with acreage and privacy, this is a property with the scale, setting, and features to support a truly special ownership experience.
