Turnkey hunting retreat with home & lake - 60.4± acres - Howard County, MO. Located just north of Columbia in Howard County, Missouri, this 60.4± acre tract is a rare opportunity to own a fully turnkey hunting and recreational property with a beautiful home, guest-ready outbuilding and all the features an outdoor enthusiast could ask for. A long, private concrete driveway winds through the hardwoods and brings you back to a secluded setting where the home and shop are perfectly tucked away from view. The land is made up primarily of hardwoods, with a healthy stand of oaks and other native species providing great mast production and bedding cover. This area has a long-standing reputation for quality deer and turkey hunting and this tract is no exception. Multiple food plots are already established and well-maintained, and a trail system allows for easy access throughout the property by foot or UTV. Tower blinds, ladder stands and other hunting equipment will remain with the property at asking price, offering a true turnkey experience. The seller and his family have had great success over the years, harvesting trophy-class bucks and mature gobblers and trail camera photos confirm steady wildlife activity across all seasons. On the back side of the property sits a beautiful, secluded shared lake, providing a peaceful spot to fish, relax, or watch wildlife from the shoreline. This lake is lightly used and well protected - a hidden gem on an already incredible piece of ground. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features a finished walkout basement and some unique interior features that must be seen in person. Just outside the home is a covered porch and custom fire pit area, ideal for hosting friends, entertaining family, or simply relaxing after a day in the woods. A short walk away is the multi-use outbuilding, affectionately referred to as the den. Outfitted with a full kitchen, bathroom and large gathering space, this structure is perfect for hunting guests, weekend getaways or group events. There’s ample room for all your recreational toys and gear, with indoor and outdoor storage options. As a bonus, this property is located just minutes from Rudolph Bennett Conservation Area and Hungry Mother Conservation Area, offering additional access to public hunting, fishing and horseback riding trails. It’s a great way to expand your recreational opportunities and enjoy even more outdoor adventures with family and friends. Shown by appointment only.
