Missouri Ozarks Horse Farm • Cattle Ranch • Hunting Retreat on 165.6 Surveyed Acres Near Alley Spring & the Ozark National Scenic Riverways
If you’ve been searching for the ultimate Missouri Ozarks ranch — one that combines productive pasture, equestrian amenities, exceptional hunting, and a private home surrounded by nature — this Shannon County property delivers in every way.
This 165.6 surveyed-acre farm is truly special, bordered by Missouri Conservation land on three sides, creating unmatched privacy, protected views, and direct access to thousands of acres of public riding, hunting, and recreation ground. The current owners have successfully operated it as a horse property, cattle farm, and hunting retreat, and it is perfectly suited to continue all three.
The land features approximately 100 acres of lush, high-producing pasture, including 30 acres of established hay ground, with quality fencing and cross-fencing, much of it pipe reinforced. The gentle, usable terrain makes this property ideal for livestock grazing, rotational pasture management, or an equestrian operation. Water is abundant, with six ponds, two of which are stocked with bass and crappie, offering both livestock water sources and recreational fishing.
Equestrian and farm improvements include:
• Barn with 5 horse stalls
• Riding arena and working pens
• 28x30 hay storage pole barn
• Multiple small outbuildings for equipment or livestock use
A standout feature is the impressive 40x48 insulated shop/RV storage building with concrete floors, electric, and four drive-through overhead doors (two 14’ and two 10’), plus 50-amp service — perfect for ranch equipment, horse trailers, RVs, or a workshop. A detached garage adds additional storage and functionality.
The cedar-and-brick home with a walkout basement is positioned to capture long-range Ozarks views while maintaining a peaceful, private setting. Inside, you’ll find an inviting open-concept layout with abundant natural light and quality finishes throughout.
The chef’s kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining, featuring:
• Large island with quartz countertops
• Commercial 47-cu-ft refrigerator
• Gas cooktop
• Double ovens
• Ice maker
• Two sinks
• Dishwasher
• Spacious walk-in pantry
Hardwood floors run throughout the home, and the 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout with walkout basement provides flexible living space and easy indoor/outdoor access.
The covered wrap-around deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy sweeping views of pasture, wildlife, and rolling Ozark hills. Efficiency and resilience were thoughtfully planned with propane heat, wood furnace, backup solar system, and central air, creating a highly energy-efficient country home suited for year-round living or a self-sufficient lifestyle.
The property has historically supported up to 50-head of cattle along with multiple horses, demonstrating its strong agricultural capability.
For equestrian enthusiasts, this location is hard to beat. The farm sits approximately 6 miles on horseback from Alley Spring, one of the most iconic destinations in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Known for its stunning turquoise spring, historic red mill, and miles of scenic horseback trails, Alley Spring draws riders, hikers, paddlers, and outdoor lovers from across the country.
Being located near the Ozark National Scenic Riverways means access to some of Missouri’s most protected natural beauty, including the Jacks Fork and Current Rivers — famous for floating, fishing, camping, and exploring.
Wildlife on this property is exceptional. The mix of pasture, water, and surrounding conservation land creates an ideal habitat for trophy whitetail deer, turkey, and other native wildlife, and bald eagles are often seen soaring overhead. Established deer stands are already in place for hunting season.
Despite the secluded feel, the property remains accessible to nearby communities for supplies, services, and dining, making it a rare balance of privacy and practicality.
This is more than just acreage — it’s a complete Ozarks ranch lifestyle property, offering income potential, recreation, livestock capability, and long-term land value in one of the most scenic and protected regions of Missouri.
