Rustic

Discover the possibilities at Salem Ranch, an impressive 218-acre property in Dent County, Missouri, conveniently located in Central Missouri, along paved State Route 32 and approximately 30 miles south of I-44. Straddling Lynch Valley and just minutes from Salem, this property offers a rare combination of productive agricultural ground, marketable timber, exceptional hunting, multiple residences, and extensive improvements. Approximately 12% of the property is cropland and 88% timber, providing both agricultural productivity and significant recreational and timber value. The lowland cropland offers fertile ground for producing quality hay, while the timber is readily accessible and offers immediate income potential. The property is bordered on two sides by Mark Twain National Forest, adding approximately 5,000 acres of additional forested ground and creating an exceptional setting for outdoor recreation. With abundant habitat and direct access to surrounding forestland, this is an outstanding area for white-tailed deer and turkey hunting. The acreage is improved for agricultural and livestock use, featuring perimeter fencing, three fenced animal areas with water troughs, and three ponds. A spacious double-gated entrance provides easy access from the paved highway. Cell service is also conveniently accessible with a tower approximately 1,000 yards away. The primary home offers a high-efficiency mini-split HVAC system, electric water heater, electric stove, and 200-amp electrical service. Heavy spray-foam insulation and metal gutters enhance the home's functionality, while an auxiliary wood stove provides an additional heat source. The home is approximately 4,176 square feet of total space, including 2,736 square feet of finished living area and a 1,440-square-foot attached garage/shop. The home features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pantry, and an expansive great room measuring approximately 16' x 36' with impressive 18-foot ceilings. A spacious 42' x 12' front porch with 15 large windows and HVAC provides an inviting place to enjoy the surrounding property. The attached 1,440-square-foot garage/shop features 18-foot ceilings, approximately 40 feet of wood shelving, and 30 feet of work benches—ideal for equipment, projects, storage, or a home-based operation. Outside there is an impressive 24' x 40' pavilion. The pavilion is built on a concrete pad with a metal roof/enclosure and is equipped with stainless-steel amenities including a grill, griddle, sink, refrigerator, and trash drawer. Decorative rock veneer and concrete counters create an ideal space for entertaining, outdoor cooking, family gatherings, or hosting hunting groups. Adding even more versatility is a 2016 Champion Ridgecrest LE II hilltop cabin, offering approximately 1,642 square feet with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The cabin includes HVAC, 200-amp electric service, septic, and a large 54' x 18' decorative concrete back porch, making it an excellent guest residence, hunting retreat, or additional family accommodations. Improvements: An open 12' x 60' trailer pad with electric and septic at the well location, and a 12' x 40' metal hay barn. Whether you're searching for a working farm, hunting retreat, timber investment, family compound, recreational property, or private rural escape, Salem Ranch offers an exceptional combination of land, improvements, accessibility, and surrounding public forest. Properties of this size and versatility, with direct proximity to Mark Twain National Forest and multiple residences and improvements already in place, are increasingly difficult to find. Salem Ranch is more than acreage—it is an opportunity to own a substantial piece of the Missouri Ozarks with room to farm, hunt, work, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors.
