It's the ultimate outdoorsman's paradise featuring water activities such as sportfishing, kayaking, or tubing. Theres also an on-site barn with horse stables, recreational trails, and even its very own private cave to explore for that land recreation enthusiast.
For that investment seeker, there are numerous fenced pastures that produce several types of grass forage to operate as a productive cattle ranch property supporting return on capital. The fencing consists of a combination of barbed wire and electric wire. The pastures are fenced and cross-fenced in areas using an innovative underground watering system that pumps spring water from the source to each pasture utilizing a combination of frost-free hydrants, valves, and automatic waterers providing adequate water throughout all the pasture areas. This set up is perfect for facilitating a rotational grazing operation.
Central to the ranch is an executive style home built of stone on the hillside overlooking the riverway, providing a breathtaking view. In addition, there is a ranch-hand homestead and a cabin on-site. Although both needing re-built and re-modeled, they are grandfathered into the protective riverway easement and exempt allowing them to be remodeled or re-built.
The barn, with electric and water, features six spacious horse stalls, providing for ample accommodation for horses or other livestock. It also features a tack room and feed room along with a large open loft well-suited for hay or additional storage.
Back outdoors, this property features an elevation variance of 220 feet from a scenic bluff top down to the river bottom pasture ground. While the river bottom pasture ground serves primarily for hay production or rotational grazing pasture, the approximate bluff top provides additional grazing pasture.
This ranch is loaded with springs that feed the river, and the watercress is plentiful. Fishing opportunities include a number of species, predominately smallmouth and trout which are natural to the habitat. Imagine a day of fishing on your very own riverfront with family and friends catching a native smallmouth bass or enjoying a horseback ride along the water or many trails throughout the property. Or maybe, just enjoying a 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 even a local caretaker available to maintain the property in an owner's absence. And speaking of recreation, the hunting is exceptional with deer sign and bedding areas all around. There has been up to a 190 Class whitetail harvested off this property, supporting a healthy deer population with all of the surrounding national forest.
It's evident that the Wild and Scenic Eleven Point Ranch is certainly a rare gem. Anyone can buy a unique recreational property, but only a select few ranchers or outdoorsman will ever be able to privately own something of the Eleven Point Rivers National and Historical significance.
