25.5 Acres of Recreational Land & Farm for Sale in Mount Vernon, Missouri

Located 19 miles west of the Springfield/Republic metroplex, this gorgeous building and recreational site sitting in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains is a true gem! It is highlighted by one of the signature attributes best known in this area of Missouri, a live freshwater spring, of which there are over 4,400 in the state. Early Ozark settlers looked for springs as a perfect site to establish their homes and farms. Rock spring houses would be built around the spring and used as a source of freshwater and refrigeration. As you can see from the pictures of the log cabin, which could possibly be rebuilt, this site was one of those early homestead properties. Gracing the rising hillsides is a nice mixture of hard and soft wood timber, including oaks, elms, and walnut. These provide abundant forage and habitat for the active deer population and other small residential game animals. The crown of the property is a 3 +/- acre open plateau tract, which offers several building sites with views of the surrounding timbered areas. Additional adjoining tracts are also available for purchase, which allows for the expansion of hunting opportunities. As a bonus, it sits slightly over an hour's drive from Table Rock Lake, Branson, Big Cedar, and Top of the Rock, offering additional outdoor recreational and entertainment options. This unique property could be developed into something very special that would only be limited by your creativity and imagination. Please call me with any questions or to schedule a showing tour.
