Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Mount Vernon, Missouri

This property has everything you could want in a large build site, recreational property or investment property. The water features, rolling topography, convenient location, and beautiful timber are just a few of the aspects that will make you fall in love with this property. This tract has a great location, being situated just 15 minutes from Republic, and 15 minutes from Mt. Vernon. The property features two sides of county road frontage with County Road 1220 on the western boundary and County Road 2115 along the northern boundary. These quiet county roads allow for multiple access points onto the property. A navigable two track road leads from the main gate at the northern boundary, down to the far southern boundary. One of the best features of this tract is the water. Two large ponds are located in the center of the property and together offer about an acre and a half of surface water. These ponds are stocked and offer great recreational opportunities as well as add a tremendous amount of aesthetic value. The remainder of the property is primarily all timber with various aged hardwoods and a large portion of old field that has some large cedars. Located just east of the two ponds is a small rock quarry that only takes up about a half-acre. This small quarry was utilized for a few years during the 1950's and 1960's for limestone blocks. A small stack of these blocks can still be found in the quarry! This area has most recently been used for storage, and the solid stone base could likely be used as a build site for a shop or storage shed. There are several great potential build sites on the property that would offer beautiful views, secluded settings, and mature trees. The varying terrain, and flat ridgetops are accommodating for any build plans. The property is split into two different parcels, with one parcel sitting within the Mt. Vernon school district and the other being within the Marionville school district.
