40 acres hosted by Carole G.
we purchased these 40 plus acres in the middle of nowhere with no other buildings in site. the land is divided by a year-round stream that never runs dry. some deep holes for bathing or cooling off on hot summer days in the wooded shade. ponds among the woods. old roads to sites made new. wildlife is bountiful and the birds that sing all day. several peacocks roam the farm. squirrels play in the trees. deer abound. nearby river Crooked Creek with rocky beaches for campfires, fishing, and swimming. if fishing you need to get a missouri fishing license. there is a stocked pond on the farm that has 4 other ponds not stocked but peaceful acres. the farm is very rustic and needs to be enjoyed for the stars at night in a clear open sky away from the lights and the noise of the city. the farm was part of a 1700 land grant. the civil war was fought on the property. the town of Marble Hill, Missouri is 2 miles away and has a library and a museum of interest for the dinosaurs that once roamed the area. several small eateries and even a McDonald's. 3 gas stations convenience stores and Dollar General as well as a Harps grocery store. and nearby parks. on Saturday's a farmers market is available of local interest with homemade products as well as local farmer sales, animals, and crafts. one can walk or use an ATV on the many trails newly recovered among the forests recently timbered. the farm is a work in progress to rebuild and recover the beauty of the land and is presently very rustic and undeveloped at this time. there are flat fields for self-contained RV parking also. there is well water available. and other amenities not yet available this year but will be worked on for the next near future. there is electricity but extra charges will be assessed. this is a work in progress but i have been here since 1980 when we found this hidden gem. help and suggestions are always appreciated. the year-round steam has always been a favorite of children to play in and catch crawdads. there are some deeper holes for bathing or just cooling off. i hope you come and enjoy your stay and that you will desire to return in future years.

You can hunt here in the fall and fish in the creek, you just need the proper permits. Please clean up after yourself! I am looking forward to your stay!
