A little back ground of this land:
This 40 acres land was a surface mining site. The reclamation works done
during the 1970s. But over the years, the soil was seriously eroded. Anna and Peilin, who has Masters and PhD in soil and environment health background, bought this land several years ago and start restore the vegetations. Now the site looks beautiful and ready for the nature lovers and campers to enjoy the fantastic view of the lake, ponds and tall grass... The site is totally different than the Google map shows now.

Retreat to the Country
3 sites · Lodging10 acres · Holts Summit, MOThis land has been asking to be shared. First it was swings and little things for the grandchildren and their friends. Then the Cabin by the pond began to welcome visitors. Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff. It is only ten miles to Jefferson City but has a quiet and distant feel.

Narrative about Selby Farm:
Selbys have
lived on this 75 acre farm
since 1990.
Doug and Brenda are
retired from teaching
at
nearby public schools.
Our Farm is now dedicated to boarding retired horses for their owners.
Feel free to review the Selby Farm Horse Retirement webpage if you are a horse fan.
We encourage you to visit our business website where you will see more farm pictures, videos,
and where you will
learn more about us. We practice rotational grazing for the health of the horses and the health of our pastures.
The horses live in a herd as they would in the wild.
Basically, they are hanging out with their friends!
They also get regular care and feed and
so are VERY happy.
You will see and probably interact with the horses if you wish. They are guaranteed to come closer if you have treats like carrots and apples slices.
Our quiet
county road used to be the main road along the river. A hundred years ago it was
called "Shanty Road".
The shacks that were along it housed workers that harvested food from farms in the river bottom. The only
evidence of those shacks now is perrenial
flowers growing in unusual places.
The area is inhabited by professionals working in nearby towns and cities. In fact there are only five homes along our 1.5 mile
section of Copps Chapel Road.
The native Americans who used this area did so because of the great diversity of wildlife and availability of water. Also the view is amazing in all directions. Was using this ridge top encampment for security, or just because the view is so satisfying?
The Missouri River is on the far side of the bottoms now, but has been very close historically. There is also a large spring flowing from a cave nearby. Witness the flint chips when you walk through our barn lot. You are likely to see a broken stone tool that once
worked on by a native
American.
These river
hills are composed of soils blown in from the end of the last ice age. Being near the river, erosion has cut down the surrounding area making the scenic topography associated with Missouri River valleys and river hills.
