Private and Secluded Homestead Enclosed by the National Forest

This 37.7 acre property in Barry County, Missouri offers a highly private setting with features well suited for boutique farming, homesteading, and natural living. Surrounded by the Mark Twain National Forest and located within the Piney Creek Wilderness, the property benefits from a secluded environment without traffic and limited development in the area. Access is provided by a private road through forest land, for complete seclusion. The property is primarily wooded with mature hardwood timber, including a strong presence of oak species. This natural setting supports a balanced ecosystem and contributes to both privacy and long term sustainability. The land offers opportunities for boutique style farming and self sufficient living. Multiple raised garden beds are already in place, along with established fruit trees that support seasonal production. The combination of usable terrain and fertile areas allows for expansion of gardening efforts, small scale agriculture, or hobby farming practices. Native plant life is abundant throughout the property and the surrounding forest. The landscape supports natural foraging opportunities including seasonal morel mushrooms and native plants such as ginseng, providing a strong foundation for those interested in gathering and utilizing natural resources. Established trails allow access through much of the property for daily use, maintenance, or quiet enjoyment of the land. The terrain includes a mix of ridge tops and mountain slopes, with a partially cleared ridge offering additional space for future improvements such as a greenhouse, workshop, or potentially short term rental cabins. The existing two story home includes a full basement with space for storage, food preservation, or a workshop. Outdoor living is supported by a screened front porch and a rear deck overlooking the surrounding timber, for a peaceful and quiet setting to enjoy the natural environment. Farm Road 2150 provides access to Table Rock Lake, adding convenient opportunities for fishing and water recreation. The property is located approximately 20 miles from Cassville for everyday needs, while Branson and Springfield provide additional services, markets, and amenities within reasonable driving distance. This Barry County property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural resources, and existing improvements that support a lifestyle centered around gardening, foraging, and small scale farming. The Utecht Land Team is excited to help you explore this unique opportunity for seclusion and the outdoor lifestyle.
