Whether you envision a future home or homestead, a private hunting property bordering Mark Twain National Forest, or a cabin close to the rivers and recreation of the Missouri Ozarks, this 65± acre property in Dent County offers a setting suited to a variety of plans. Located approximately 10 miles from Salem, Missouri, it combines highway access, onsite electric availability, hardwood timber, and recent improvements that make the property easier to access and enjoy. Approximately 300 feet of frontage along Highway 32 and an established entrance provide convenient year-round access. Recent improvements include a newly cleared trail/access road into the interior of the property, following the ridge top to attractive building sites and hunting locations. For those considering a permanent residence, homestead, or weekend cabin, the wooded ridges offer room to explore potential sites and create a private retreat within reach of town. The rolling Ozark terrain includes wooded hollows and white oak timber, providing habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and small game. A recently cleared, approximately ½-acre food plot has been planted with a fall blend of oats and wheat, adding to the property's hunting appeal. Two small established wildlife ponds provide water sources, and the pond near the food plot has recently been improved. Natural travel corridors and multiple potential stand locations offer opportunities for hunting and continued wildlife management. A direct boundary with Mark Twain National Forest extends the outdoor opportunities beyond the property's 65± acres. Enjoy private land for a home, cabin, or hunting basecamp with access to thousands of additional acres of public land for hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring. The location also makes an excellent base for enjoying the surrounding Ozarks. The nearby Meramec and Current Rivers offer floating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and camping, while Montauk State Park provides a destination for trout fishing and time outdoors. Indian Trail Conservation Area adds further opportunities for public hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing. A cabin here could serve as a comfortable starting point for weekends on the water, days in the woods, or quiet evenings back on your own land. Salem is approximately 10 miles away, with shopping, restaurants, healthcare, fuel, and everyday services. Rolla, St. James, Steelville, and Houston are also within reach, supporting both weekend visits and plans for full-time living. With accessible ridge-top building sites, established wildlife habitat, a newly cleared interior access road, and a recently cleared and planted food plot, this property offers flexibility for today and the future. Build a home or homestead, establish a hunting retreat bordering Mark Twain National Forest, or create a cabin getaway close to the outdoor destinations that make the Missouri Ozarks such a rewarding place to spend time.
