Dream Hunting Farm: An Exceptional Investment Opportunity
Investment properties rarely excel in the three critical categories of tract size, wildlife potential, and return on investment (ROI). However, this unique offering in Sperry, Missouri, stands out in all these aspects.
Tract Size
Imagine owning 414 contiguous acres with multiple points of access—an increasingly rare find in today’s market. This expansive tract not only provides ample space for recreational activities but also enhances its value as an investment property.
Wildlife Potential
Adair County, Missouri, is renowned for its thriving populations of whitetail deer and wild turkey. This farm is strategically located just 30 minutes from the Iowa border, making it an ideal hunting destination. A little research into the area's wildlife rankings will reveal its reputation for excellent hunting opportunities.
Return on Investment
Financial viability is crucial for any investment, and this farm keeps your money working for you through two income sources: wind turbines and cash rent or share cropping. This dual income stream makes it a practical choice for both hunters and investors.
Property Overview
Welcome to a farm that boasts excellent topography without the extreme features often found in timber farms. The northern corridor of the property—approximately 111 acres—includes 1,600 feet of the headwaters of the Salt River, which eventually flows into Mark Twain Lake, along with another 1,400 feet of tributary creek. This section features three bottom crop fields, totaling around 60 acres, eliminating the need for food plots. The remaining area consists of mature timber, tree-lined waterways, and abundant game cover.
The middle section, covering 210 acres, includes upland rolling crop ground, timber, and additional game cover. Approximately 115 acres are dedicated to crop production, where two wind turbines are situated. Well-maintained gravel roads throughout the farm provide easy access to the wind towers, facilitating movement for both hunters and farmers.
The southern section of the property, measuring 92.5 acres, represents an agricultural jackpot. Previously a beef production farm, the soil has benefited from years of manure application, resulting in fertile land. This area consists of 85 crop acres, featuring unique hedgerows along the eastern and western boundaries. The draws contain mature trees, enhancing the section's hunting potential despite its openness.
Accessibility
For those traveling by air, Kirksville Regional Airport (IRK) offers convenient access, with daily flights to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and Chicago-O’Hare (ORD). This investment property is just 23 minutes from the airport. For those driving, Sperry is located approximately 2.5 hours from major midwestern cities, including Kansas City, St. Louis, and Des Moines.
In conclusion, we extend our gratitude to the family for the opportunity to present this beautiful farm in northeast Missouri. The potential for recreational enjoyment and financial returns here is vast.
