Land with Home for Sale in Stella, Missouri

With well over 1 square mile of beautiful acreage, The Big Spring Ranch offers a vast landscape that is hard to match. The main valley and various plateaus throughout the property offer many ideal options for home locations or your imagination. This 895-acre Missouri treasure is situated on the north end of the Ozark Boston Mountains in McDonald County, in Southwest Missouri. Just less than an hour drive is the Walmart Corporate Headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. The rapid growth of Benton County, Arkansas, and the Northwest Arkansas corridor has resulted in few remaining tracts of land this size. The expansion of this major economic center is among the fastest in the United States. This proximity-driven scarcity makes this especially attractive for long-term land ownership and capital preservation.This property combines institutional-scale acreage, productive agricultural use, and is well-suited for buyers transitioning from other real estate holdings into land-based assets. A 1031 exchange allows buyers to defer capital gains from a like-kind sale and recover immediate depreciation for infrastructure on the new or target property. Big Spring Ranch is considered a Backgrounder or Feeder cattle operation and features rolling terrain, freshwater wells serving automatic drinkers throughout. The protein-rich pastures of wheat, rye, Triticale hybrid grain, and fescue are designed for herd management and rotational grazing. That planting combination pairs nicely with the wooded terrain of the creeks and lowlands.The open feel of rolling terrain and the convenient location give promise to a future use beyond the continuation of ranch operations... Perhaps a leadership development campus, complete with golf course, team building facilities, horseback riding, ropes course, skeet shooting & hiking. Let your imagination be your guide!
