About this property

This 30+/- acre property in Douglas County, Missouri, combines a country home, agricultural infrastructure, mature hardwood timber, and 2 water features in a location along State Highway 76 east near Ava. The property offers approximately 1,175 feet of State Highway 76 frontage, providing direct access from a paved state-maintained highway and making the acreage readily accessible for residential, agricultural, recreational, and land-management uses. The property includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse situated within the acreage. The older home has plenty of life left in it with some features not found in modern architecture. Combine those features with some modern updates, and it could be a nice home to enjoy for years to come. The farmhouse is complemented by a large 40x120 agricultural barn. While the barn is older, it remains functional and provides substantial covered space for agricultural equipment, vehicles, hay, livestock-related uses, and storage. Approximately 30+/- acres give the property a manageable land base while still providing a significant amount of wooded acreage. Mature hardwood timber is a notable component of the property and contributes to the character and natural resources of the tract. There is ample sign of wildlife throughout the property. Water is another important feature. A pond provides a year-round water feature on the property, while a spring-fed stream adds another source of surface water and contributes to the property's varied terrain and habitat. The combination of mature timber, flowing water, and a pond creates ideal conditions for a variety of wildlife species. The highway frontage is particularly useful for a property of this size. Approximately 1,175 feet along State Highway 76 provides a substantial road frontage component and multiple possibilities for access, land management, or development. Ava is the county seat of Douglas County and provides everyday services, shopping, restaurants, schools, and other community amenities. The property is also within reach of the recreational opportunities associated with the Ozarks. The nearby Glade Top Trail and surrounding Mark Twain National Forest lands provide additional opportunities for outdoor recreation in the broader area. The Glade Top Trail is located in the Ava area and is known for its Ozark glades, forest scenery, and recreational setting. Branson, Springfield, Bull Shoals Lake and many other attractions are a short drive away as well. Whether the goal is maintaining a rural residence, operating a small agricultural property, managing mature timber, or owning recreational acreage, this property offers several established components to work with. The farmhouse, large agricultural barn, pond, spring-fed stream, mature hardwood timber, and significant highway frontage make this a property worth considering. The Utecht Land Team is excited to bring this property to you and would love the chance to walk it out with you. Give us a call today.

    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.

    1. Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
    2. 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.
    3. Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
    4. 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.
    5. RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
    6. Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
    7. UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
    8. 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.
