About this property
369+/- acres of productive pasture and scenic river frontage in Howell County, just outside West Plains. This working farm offers the rare combination of strong agricultural value, reliable water, and outstanding recreational appeal. More than 200 acres are established in thick cool-season grasses and legumes, providing quality forage for livestock and an excellent foundation for continued cattle or hay production. The balance of the acreage features wooded draws, riparian corridors, and mature hardwood stands that offer natural shade, wildlife habitat, and visual character. Perimeter fencing is already in place, helping streamline operations from day one. Approximately 1.3 miles of the Spring River winds through the property, creating a defining feature few farms can match. Spring-fed pockets of water hold year-round, supporting livestock, enhancing wildlife habitat, and offering peaceful spots to relax. Multiple ponds are positioned throughout the farm, further strengthening water access and pasture management flexibility. The terrain is gently rolling with elevated views that stretch across the river bottom and surrounding countryside. Numerous secluded build sites provide options for a farmhouse, cabin, or weekend retreat with privacy and long-range vistas. Wildlife is abundant, with ducks, quail, turkey, and whitetail deer observed on the property. The blend of grassland, timber, and water creates ideal habitat diversity for both livestock and recreation. Whether you're expanding an existing cattle operation, investing in quality Ozarks land, or seeking a private farm with river frontage and hunting potential, this 369+/- acre property delivers versatility, beauty, and long-term value in a highly desirable area of southern Missouri.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
