Located just 5 miles west of Browning, Missouri, and approximately 1 mile southeast of Highway MM, this 121± acre Linn County property offers the kind of combination that is increasingly difficult to find in north-central Missouri: privacy, productive farmland, outstanding wildlife habitat, dependable income, and the freedom to shape a property into exactly what you want it to become.
From the moment you enter the farm from the west, the property begins to tell its story. An old barn overlooks a large pond, setting the scene for a farm that feels secluded and tucked away from the outside world. Beyond the entrance, productive tillable fields give way to hardwood timbered draws, native grasses, rolling terrain, and a small creek winding through the property. Whether your vision is a highly managed hunting property, a recreational getaway, a long-term land investment, or a combination of all three, this farm provides an exceptional blank slate.
For the serious whitetail hunter, the habitat is where this property really begins to shine. Hardwood timbered draws run throughout the farm, creating natural funnels and heavily traveled corridors connecting different portions of the property. Ample south-facing timbered slopes provide excellent thermal cover during the colder months, while warm-season native grasses tucked into the southern portion of the farm add another layer of bedding and security cover.
One of the most exciting opportunities for the next owner is the potential to further develop the property specifically around hunting. Multiple areas throughout the farm lend themselves to strategically placed food plots that could be designed around existing bedding cover, timbered travel corridors, prevailing winds, and stand access. With thoughtful placement and management, these locations could drastically increase the hunting capability of the property by creating additional destination food sources and helping influence deer movement into huntable areas. For someone who enjoys habitat management, this farm offers the opportunity to take an already strong foundation and build it into a highly developed whitetail property.
The current combination of timber, native grasses, agricultural food sources, water, and secluded cover already provides the ingredients needed to hold deer throughout the year. The current owner has experienced a strong deer population on the property for many years, with mature bucks consistently calling the farm home. Deer sign is abundant across the property, and active scrapes can currently be found throughout the farm, providing immediate evidence of the whitetail activity taking place here.
The recreational opportunities don’t end with deer season. This area of north-central Missouri is also known for strong turkey numbers, and the combination of mature hardwood timber, open agricultural fields, native grasses, creek bottoms, and secluded cover creates an excellent setting for spring turkey hunting. From chasing longbeards on a spring morning to sitting over a secluded food plot during the November rut, this is the type of property that can provide recreational opportunities throughout much of the year.
The property is also positioned to provide a strong agricultural return. Approximately 65± acres are currently comprised of income-producing tillable ground with an average NCCPI of approximately 65. This productive acreage gives the next owner an opportunity to generate dependable annual income while still owning a property with significant recreational value. For an investor who also enjoys hunting, this is the type of farm where the land can work for you while providing a place to escape to every fall.
One of the greatest attributes of this property is what it could become. The framework is already here: productive tillable ground, hardwood timber, native grasses, water, natural travel corridors, thermal cover, food plot opportunities, and seclusion. A new owner could further enhance bedding areas, establish strategically positioned food plots, improve access routes, add additional habitat improvements, or simply enjoy the farm exactly as it sits today. There is plenty of room to put your own fingerprint on the property and continue improving it for years to come.
Two 360 hunting blinds will convey with the sale, allowing the next owner to step onto the property and begin hunting from day one. Imagine pulling through the gate on a crisp November morning, passing the old barn and overlooking the pond before slipping into one of the timbered draws for a hunt. Picture spring mornings listening for gobbles echoing through the hardwoods, or summer evenings with family watching wildlife filter into the fields. All the while, approximately 65 acres of productive farmland are helping generate income from your investment.
Whether you are searching for a strong land investment, a secluded hunting property, a recreational retreat for your family, or a north-central Missouri farm you can develop into your own vision, this 121± acre Linn County property checks the boxes.
Properties offering this combination of productive tillable acreage, whitetail and turkey habitat, water, privacy, income, and future management potential are difficult to replicate.
