Imagine your very own riverfront, spending time with family and friends fishing, hunting, hiking, or horseback riding along the river or on the numerous trails throughout the property. Or maybe, just enjoying a nice fall evening campfire under some of the brightest night stars in the Ozarks! For that buyer desiring seasonal or recreational use of the property, there is a local caretaker available to maintain the property in the owner's absence. For the avid deer hunter...there are deer sign and bedding areas all around. There have been up to 190 class whitetails harvested from this property, supporting a healthy deer population with the surrounding national forest.

It is evident that the Wild & Scenic Eleven Point Ranch is certainly a rare find. Anyone can buy a unique recreational property, but only a select few outdoorsmen will ever be able to privately own something of the Eleven Point's National and Historic significance.
