Few properties can appeal to crop farmers, cattle farmers, and hunters simultaneously, but this property does that with ease. The sprawling 226+ acres just miles from Joplin provide the privacy of living in the country with the convenience of a nearby city. The land promises many opportunities in its past, current, and potential states, and if that isn't enough, the stunning lodge is sure to impress.LandWater is no issue, as there are two large and deep lakes with a large fish population. These lakes are connected by a small inlet, allowing access across both bodies of water. The larger of the two lakes has a dock ready for fishing or holding a boat. In years past, water from the lakes was used to irrigate the production crop ground. There is also a drilled well near the main lodge. ImprovementsThe access is at a premium, with highway frontage on both the east and south sides of the acreage. Setting a quarter mile into the property on a private gated drive, you will find a well-thought-out and masterfully designed lodge. The main living area boasts 1700 square feet on two levels. The main upstairs bedroom has a loft that overlooks one of the two pristine lakes on the property. Attached to the living quarters is an 1100-square-foot garage with three overhead doors and a walk-through door. This property’s beauty and seclusion can be easily enjoyed from the 14-foot porch on two sides of the house. RecreationThis is a world-class location for hunters. A large population of whitetail deer calls this ground home, and turkeys are not an uncommon sight. With the pastures being primarily native grass species, even bobwhite quail would consider this property heaven. Stepping across this property, one can see the meticulous work poured into the grounds over the years, providing a prime habitat for wildlife and, thus, an improved recreational experience. AgricultureFor many years the bulk of this land was tillable ground and produced wheat and soybeans. The land has recently transitioned to native grasses and cattle pastures. This large tract of land could quickly be returned to its tillable past, kept in its current cattle farming state, or even grown into a beautiful hunting property, given its incredible location. The possibilities are truly endless with this piece! LocationLocation is a premium for this beautiful large tract of land. Located just a couple of miles north of the Joplin Missouri airport, you still feel the seclusion of the country, yet you are just minutes away from one of the biggest towns in Missouri.
