5695 Highway 181, Gainesville, MO 65655

This 271 Acre Property has it all: house, outbuildings, creeks, springs, ponds, bottom ground, hay ground, pocket fields, mature timber, an incredible trail system, and a shared boundary with Caney Mountain Conservation area. As you enter the property from Highway 181, you cross Caney Creek and the timber opens up to the home place seated out of the flood zone along the bottom fields. There is a 1250sqft, 2 bed, 1 3/4 bath home, freshly remodeled. There is a chicken coop, a timber frame barn, equipment shed, 750 sqft barn and a brand new 40x60 shop with 3 12x12 doors, concrete floors and an auto lift.The land is an outdoor enthusiasts dream with great potential for a hobby farm.  It has about 50 acres open with the majority of that being fertile bottom ground with a few pocket fields wedged between water and thick bedding. The timber is a very balanced mix of mature and young timber. The creeks are year-round, and pictures were taken during a drought.  Even with the current lower water levels, there is plenty of water from deeper swimming holes to shallow riffles to dip your toes in. There are several ponds and springs as well. With miles of side-by-side trails that take you all over the farm, the land feels and hunts bigger than other tracts this size. Part of the North and East boundaries are shared with Caney Creek Conservation Area, a Missouri Conservation area with very limited hunting.  If, for some reason, you want to leave this haven for other recreation, you are 10 minutes to Bryant Creek, 20 minutes to the North Fork River and Norfork Lake, and 25 minutes to Bull Shoals Lake. For immediate needs, Gainesville is only 8 minutes away with the bigger cities of Mountain Home, AR and Ava, MO 35 minutes away and West Plains, MO 40 minutes away.
