The Hill

My family settled on this plot of land at the turn of the century, moving west in a covered wagon. And aside from a brief time in the late 80's it has been in our family ever since. For most of the 20th century the property was a small farm, grazing cattle and mowed for bailing hay. We are trying to rejuvenate the property and breathing some new life into this old plot of land.

Learn more about this land:

The Hill, aptly&nbsp;named, is a hilltop that slopes down to a large pond that divides the twenty acre property in two.&nbsp; With plenty of room to stretch your legs you can enjoy a nature walk. In the evening enjoy the night sky around one of several fire rings, while roasting marshmallows. Easy access and only a quarter mile from the main road.

Potential for Noise: MoKan Speedway and Active railroad nearby

Late summer bloom along the edge for the pond.

Looking down from the top of The Hill, you see the whole property.

Slips come with water and electricity hookups and can fit campers and RVs up to 30 feet. 

RV and camper slots available. Electric and Water

Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it  convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back  mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. 

This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary.  (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less,  from our house.)

We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like. 

 We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!). 

 Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

There is an incredible swimming hole just half a mile up the road. We loved taking our dog there and spending the afternoon relaxing in the refreshing crystal clear water

Fangthorn Forest

In the 1840's there was a trading post on the property known as Lick Skillet because the owner would set the pans out at night for the dogs to lick.&nbsp;&nbsp;Today, we call it Fanthorn Forest and it's our dream, our haven and our home.&nbsp; We love sharing our farm with others and allowing them the same experience of peace and tranquility we get from the land.Learn more about this land:Located only 50 miles SE of Kansas City, MO!&nbsp; We have woods and pasture with Settle's Ford Wildlife area (fishing and hiking available) 1/4 mile away. Camping is primitive with only an outhouse and no shower facilities. There are MANY thorn trees, so hikers must have proper footwear.&nbsp; Fire ring, wood and a grate for cooking are provided.&nbsp; Livestock encounters are also available with owners in attendance.&nbsp; All proceeds are put back in the farm to care for the animals and the land.&nbsp; RV's are allowed, but we do not have any hook ups available and they are not allowed in the woods.&nbsp; Parking area is at the end of the driveway for both cars and RV's.&nbsp; We love kids and will provide lawn darts or any other games we have available if requested.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please visit our website at fangthornforest.com for more information.

Farmland Panoramic (Horse Friendly)

Learn more about this land:

Situated atop a ridge in SW MO, on the eastern edge of the great plains just west of the Ozark Mountain foothills, you’ll have beautiful farmland views to the east, south and west, including incredible sunsets over the water of our pond (fish all you want, pull out crappie slabs for dinner). Expect peace and quiet here, with the exception of the occasional mama cow calling to her calf. Great spot to spend the night near the junction of I-49 & I-44. Ride bicycles, kayak on the ponds, take a walk in peace. Small town of Jasper is a few miles away, with RoadHouse Grocery and Liquor store, RV dump stations on both sides of the highway, and 4 fuel stops. Lamar (birthplace of Harry S Truman) is 8 miles north. 

If you're traveling with horses, there is a 1-acre pen available for holding them overnight. It is 6-strand electrified high-tensile wire with a pipe swing gate and a galvanized water tank. There's also a worked arena with small pens to keep horses separate but adjacent to one another upon request. Negative Coggins required. Prairie hay small squares available for purchase. Riding is not allowed. We have 2 horses on site that are vaccinated and Coggins negative. 

We have friendly medium-sized dogs. Yours are welcome to run free with the pack. Expect the usual sniffing around and getting to know one another behavior.

Driveway entrance. Half a mile to the top. Lone maple tree, salvaged metal art on the telephone pole with the number 262.

Bald eagle flew right by the popout window during breakfast!

Migratory birds and waterfowl frequent these farm ponds. Bald eagles are regular visitors, and have surprised hipcampers during a breakfast fly-by.
