Property Description
Premier Southern Missouri Whitetail & Recreation Ranch | 391.7± Acres - Wright & Laclede Counties
Welcome to a truly premier whitetail property in southern Missouri, a meticulously designed 391.7± acre ranch spanning both Wright and Laclede Counties. This remarkable farm blends world-class hunting, scenic beauty, family recreation, and comfortable lodging into one legacy destination. Carefully developed and refined over the last 20 years by a proven outdoorsman, the property has been intentionally shaped around natural deer movement learned through decades of observation. Every trail, food plot, and improvement serves a purpose and the results are evident.
The land itself offers an impressive mix of habitat designed to hold and grow mature whitetails throughout the year. Eight established food plots are thoughtfully positioned across the property with room for more, and they are strategically located to create daylight movement opportunities while keeping pressure low. Expansive cedar thickets provide dense thermal cover, while fertile bottom soils offer excellent opportunities for income-producing crops or hay ground. A large tract of hay ground sits in the heart of the ranch, tying together bedding, travel corridors, and destination food sources. Several large areas have been intentionally left as true sanctuary, places that have rarely, if ever, been stepped in allowing deer to age, feel secure, and consistently produce trophy-caliber bucks. The farm also supports an incredibly high turkey population, offering exceptional spring hunts where gobblers regularly echo across the hills at first light. Combined with a well-maintained road system and north and west side access points, hunters can slip in and out with minimal disturbance and hunt effectively on a wide range of wind conditions.
Water and recreation are equally impressive. The east side of the ranch is bordered by the beautiful Gasconade River, where sandbars, swimming holes, and shady picnic spots invite family time and summer fun. A long oxbow-style lake winds through the property, and it has consistently produced big largemouth bass for the current owners, the type of place where memories are made season after season.
As you enter through the gated driveway, you'll curve past food plots that routinely fill with deer in the evenings and eventually arrive at the welcoming 2-bedroom, 1 bath hunting lodge. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room perfect for gathering and entertaining, a jacuzzi tub for relaxing after a long day in the field, and beautiful log-cabin finishes that create a warm, rustic atmosphere. Nearby, a 40' x 60' shop provides ideal storage for tractors, implements, and food-plot equipment, complete with a fully functional workshop for year-round projects.
One of the most unique features of the property is the long boardwalk extending from the lodge to an overlook above the Gasconade River valley. Mornings here are unforgettable, picture sipping coffee while mallards settle onto the lake below and deer feed through lush clover, all from your vantage point high above the valley. It's a scene that feels like it belongs on a postcard.
Opportunities like this are rare. With proven whitetail management, untouched sanctuary areas, thriving turkey numbers, strong recreational value, income potential, diverse terrain, and comfortable onsite lodging, this ranch stands among the finest hunting and lifestyle properties available on today's market.
