Description

75+- acres | Private Rural Estate with New Shop, Barn, Pond & Underground Utilities

This versatile 75+- acre property offers an impressive combination of beautiful views, quality improvements, productive acreage, excellent hunting, and privacy. Conveniently located between Monroe City, Palmyra, and Hannibal, the property has been meticulously maintained for more than 20 years and is ready for its next owner.

A half-mile private drive leads to the back of the property to a newly constructed 48’ x 72’ building. Built with quality and durability in mind, it features 12-foot ceilings, 2x6 framed walls, upgraded 26-gauge roofing/trim, a radiant barrier, 6-inch concrete floors with full footings, additional rebar, and fiber reinforcement. Rough-in plumbing is in place for a bathroom, multiple sinks, and spigots, with interior framing underway for several rooms. A half-mile of underground electric, water, and high-speed fiber has also been ran to the building. Whether used as a workshop, business headquarters, hunting retreat, or future residence, the building offers outstanding flexibility with room to expand.

The property also includes a 50’ x 72’ pole barn with 14-foot sidewalls and two 16-foot sliding doors providing excellent storage for equipment, hay, livestock, or recreational vehicles.

Everyone will appreciate the 1.5-acre pond stocked with catfish and bluegill, along with excellent deer and turkey hunting. The property backs to Sees Creek and has been carefully managed to provide quality wildlife habitat throughout.

With approximately 35–40 acres estimated to be tillable, the land is currently being used for hay production yielding approximately 130 large round bales per cutting without fertilizer application.

Rolling terrain provides beautiful views and numerous potential building sites. With utilities already in place, the property is well-suited for division into multiple tracts, adding further potential. The entrance is just 100 yards from blacktop on a quiet quarter-mile dead-end county road shared by only three neighboring homes. Mark Twain Lake is just 12 miles away!

Whether you’re seeking a private country estate, hunting retreat, productive farm, business location, or long-term property, this acreage offers a hard-to-find combination of infrastructure, recreation, productivity, and privacy.
