Farmhouse And Productive Tillable Acreage For Sale In Ralls County, MO

Some farms simply have a little bit of everything, and this 128.3 acre property in Ralls County, Missouri, brings together many of the features buyers look for in a Northeast Missouri farm. Productive creek bottom cropland, annual farm income, a beautiful wide rocky creek, diverse wildlife habitat and a 3-bedroom farmhouse with several updates all come together on one property. Add in the rolling topography and elevated views overlooking the farm, and this is a property that offers much more than just acreage. Approximately 70 acres consist of productive creek bottom ground that is currently planted in soybeans. This tillable acreage provides annual farm income and creates an important food source for wildlife throughout the growing season. From the higher portions of the property, the terrain drops toward the creek bottom, opening up views across the agricultural fields and surrounding countryside. One of the features that really stands out on this farm is the wide, beautiful rocky creek winding through the property. More than just a scenic feature, the creek offers opportunities for recreational activities and a place for the family to spend time exploring and enjoying the farm. The exposed rock, flowing water and surrounding creek bottom add another dimension to the property and give you a feature that can be enjoyed well beyond hunting season. The creek also plays an important role in the property's wildlife habitat. Deer regularly travel along the creek corridor, moving between feeding and bedding areas. With productive crop fields nearby and thicker cover within the property, the creek helps connect several of the habitat components found across the farm. Approximately 22 acres of overgrown pasture with scattered hardwood timber provide another important piece of the property. The thicker vegetation creates bedding and security cover, while the scattered hardwoods and field edges add diversity to the habitat. The transition from this heavier cover into the creek corridor and productive crop fields creates multiple areas to consider when planning hunting access and stand locations. From a hunting perspective, this farm has a lot to like. As you walk the property, you can see how the pieces fit together, with productive crop fields providing a dependable food source, thick bedding cover nearby and the creek creating a natural travel corridor through the farm. Add in the scattered hardwoods and opportunities for strategically placed food plots, and you have the kind of habitat diversity that gets a deer hunter thinking about where to hang a stand before they ever leave the property. Turkeys will benefit from this same mix of open ground, timber with larger roosting trees, water and cover. There is also room to build on what is already here. Strategically placed food plots, continued management of the thicker cover and thoughtful access routes could complement the existing agricultural fields, creek and bedding areas. This gives the next owner an opportunity to develop a wildlife management plan around the farm's existing features and their own recreational goals. The beautiful topography is another feature that gives this farm character. Higher elevations overlook the productive bottom ground, providing panoramic views across the fields and surrounding countryside. Whether you are watching crops grow, glassing fields for wildlife or simply enjoying an evening overlooking the farm, these elevated areas provide a different perspective of the property. Another great attribute of this property is the 3-bedroom farmhouse, which has received several updates and provides an existing home on the farm. For someone looking to move to the country and have a farm of their own, the home provides the opportunity to live right where you farm, hunt and enjoy the land. For a recreational buyer, it could also serve as a hunting base or a comfortable place to stay while enjoying and managing the property. The real appeal of this farm is the variety it offers in one property. You can enjoy the income from the productive cropland, spend an afternoon along the rocky creek, hunt the natural transitions between food and bedding cover, or take in the views from the higher elevations. With an updated farmhouse already in place, this is a farm you can enjoy from day one while still having opportunities to make improvements and manage the land around your own goals. If you have been searching for a farm where income-producing acreage, hunting, recreation and country living all come together, this 128.3-acre Ralls County property deserves a closer look. There is a lot here to appreciate, but the views, creek, habitat and overall layout are best experienced in person.
